Info:
- Punjab Kings have lost their last three games in this year’s IPL after beginning the season with a tight victory over Rajasthan Royals. If they are to get their season going again then the runs will probably come from their skipper and wicket-keeper KL Rahul who has hit scores of 91, 5, 61 and 4. With the ball, their greatest threat has come from Arshdeep Singh who has taken 5 wickets at the cost of only 95 runs.
- Mumbai Indians lost their last match, going down by 6 wickets to Delhi Capitals, the first time they have lost to them since Game 3 in the 2019 IPL. Runs have come primarily from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav with the latter the only Mumbai batsman to register a half-century so far in the tournament. Rahul Chahar leads the attack in terms of wickets taken, although Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah have also been impressive.
- It will be interesting to see if Punjab opt to give first appearances of the season to their English duo of Chris Jordan and Dawid Malan. Mumbai Indians may be tempted to recall Australian Chris Lynn who hit 49 in their first game of the campaign but hasn’t been selected since.
Live Streaming:
Live Streaming: Fans in India can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
TV Channels:
The match can be watched live on Star Sports in India, Sky Cricket in the UK and Willow TV in the USA.
Toss Predictions:
Both captains won the toss in their previous games and elected to bat. However, they both lost the matches so they may well revert to chasing in this game.
Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
Partly cloudy but a temperature still above 30 degrees during the game.
🏟️ Pitch:
Most of the matches in Chennai have seen teams post scores in the range of 145 - 160. We expect similar totals in this game with the pitch particularly conducive for pace-off bowling.
Team NEWS:
PBKS Team News:
After three successive defeats, it would be a big surprise if Punjab Kings didn’t give Dawid Malan an opportunity. They made three changes ahead of the defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad so we don’t expect wholesale changes for this fixture.
MI Team News:
Rohit Sharma is the type of leader who won’t panic based on one defeat. However, the batting of Mumbai Indians is becoming a slight concern and they can’t rely on their gun bowlers to get them over the line in every game.

PBKS Key Players:
KL Rahul:
He can’t be expected to produce big scores in every innings but every other innings isn’t bad. After making only 4 against Sunrisers, we expect him to return to the touch that saw scores of 91 and 61 earlier in the 2021 IPL.
Shahrukh Khan:
The IPL debutant has contributed 90 runs at an average of 45 and top scored for Punjab in the matches against Sunrisers and CSK.

Mohammed Shami:
He has a particularly bad record against David Warner so he will be pleased to be bowling to Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock. Shami went wicketless against Sunrisers so will be looking to strike early in this game.

MI Key Players:
Rohit Sharma: Leading run scorer for Mumbai Indians but absent in the field during the latter stages against Delhi Capitals. Not only is he a huge part of the batting line-up but also a wise experienced captain for his side. wins. He is crucial to the team.
Trent Boult:
although he went wicketless in the defeat against Delhi Capitals, he was the most economical of the bowlers. He has sent down 49 dot balls, the most in the tournament so far.
Jasprit Bumrah: India’s pace bowler has the best economy rate of the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers. Batsmen know that they risk losing their wicket if they try anything extravagant against him.

PBKS Team Form:
After losing their final two games last year and winning only one from three so far in 2021, you certainly can not call them a form team at present.
MI Team Form:
Three defeats in a row in IPL 2021 have meant the strong end to the 2020 IPL season now seems like a distant memory. They need to find a win by hook or by crook!
