Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings (MI vs PBKS) Players List: Winless after four games, Mumbai Indians will be desperate to reverse the trend when they face Punjab Kings at MCA, Pune on Wednesday. It has been a nightmarish beginning for the five-time champions who are known for their slow starts.
A formidable all-round side over the years, MI have looked a pale shadow of themselves in the ongoing edition, and will need several things to fall in place if they are to arrest the slide and restore their campaign. While, Punjab Kings played their last game against Gujarat Titans where PBKS lost to GT by 6 wickets. Liam Livingstone and Shikhar Dhawan smashed 64 runs and 35 runs respectively for Punjab Kings in that game.
The MCA, Pune pitch is batting friendly initially and it helps the spinners later on. The team who chases has an added advantage here and a big score is always on cards because of smaller boundary size.
For today’s MI vs PBKS match, the Pune weather is expected to be normal as the temperature is expected to be around 32-33°C with 54-57% humidity and 13-15 km/hr wind speed. No chances of rain during the MI vs PBKS match today.
