Mumbai Indians will have the advantage in this match due to their better current form. Punjab Kings have a solid opening pair, but their middle order has not been consistent. This is where MI could take control, especially with their bowlers performing well in the middle overs.Β
Suryakumar Yadav has been the most consistent batter between both sides. He has scored 25 or more in every match this season and will likely score big again. Arshdeep has been good but Chahal has had a few low games where MI could take advantage in the middle overs with their strong middle order.
