The 33rd match of IPL 2024 will be played between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mohali. When Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians face each other on Thursday in the ongoing battle of the two teams in the lower half, both will be desperate to get their faltering campaign back on track in the Indian Premier League. After six matches each, both the teams have the same four points. There is a difference of decimal points in the net runs scored by both. Punjab is at seventh position while Mumbai Indians are at eighth position.
PBKS vs MI Match Preview
Prabhsimran Singh’s performance is a matter of concern for the Punjab Kings team. He has scored only 119 runs in six matches at an average of 19.83. The same can be said for India’s wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma. With selection for the World Cup team approaching, Jitesh will be excited to perform well, having so far scored only 106 runs in six matches at an average of 17.66. Punjab will have to find more support for their overseas bowling pair of Sam Curran (126 runs and eight wickets) and Kagiso Rabada (nine wickets). The Indian fast-bowling pair of Arshdeep Singh (nine wickets) and Harshal Patel (seven wickets) have been easy prey for the batsmen.
Mumbai Indians’ two wins at home against Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore broke their three consecutive losing streak but despite Rohit Sharma’s century, the team lost in the last match against Chennai Super Kings. Questions are being raised about Hardik Pandya’s form and role in the team. Gerald Coetzee (nine wickets) and Akash Madhwal (four wickets) have also given runs at a rate of more than 10 runs per over. Even with the bat, Pandya has failed to strengthen the team. Also, Pandya has faced an adverse environment in different stadiums in all the matches played so far this season, which can hurt any player. In such a situation, the form of Rohit and Ishan Kishan has become important for Mumbai Indians. Suryakumar Yadav, returning after injury, has given mixed results so far.
