THE LOWDOWN

PUNJAB KINGS

• Punjab Kings’ struggles with the bat early on in their innings continues to prove their undoing, as top order wickets continue to fall regularly, leaving them with a mountain to climb whether they are setting or chasing targets.
• After losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab’s last game saw them beaten at the hands of Rajasthan Royals by three wickets, with 147 just not quite enough runs on the board for them to defend.

MUMBAI INDIANS

• Mumbai Indians will have been bitterly disappointed to come out the wrong end of their first showdown of the season with Chennai Super Kings, losing by 20 runs at the Wankhede Stadium.
• After conceding 206 runs fielding first, Rohit Sharma played a lone hand across the run chase for Mumbai with teammates falling all around him, the India captain finishing on 105 not out as he batted through the 20 overs.

THE PREDICTION

Can Mumbai Indians react well to being defeated by their closest rivals? Punjab Kings away from home is a tough assignment but provides Hardik Pandya’s side with an excellent test. The Kings have yet to really convince from a strength in depth perspective in particular and their top order continue to under-perform. This makes backing Mumbai Indians well worth considering as the likelihood is that they will be able to outscore Punjab.

TIP: MUMBAI INDIANS TO WIN
