IPL 2022, MI VS PBKS: Preview, Fantasy XI and Much More

MI vs PBKS, the 23rd match of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at MCA Stadium in Pune from 7:30 PM IST on 13 April 2022.

Team Updates:

Mumbai Indians are in dire need of a win. They have lost four consecutive matches with no victory to show for it. They are tied for the last spot with CSK in the points table and have to find a way to get back into the mix for the top four. Their batting has been sub-par, and apart from Suryakumar Yadav and young Tilak Varma, no other batter has been consistent for them in Tata IPL 2022.

In the bowling department, they also lack the fiery power they used to have in previous editions of Tata IPL 2022. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowler has stood out in this edition. They need to do collectively better as a team in order to have a chance to make it to the playoffs. In particular, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan need to fire at the top in MI vs PBKS clash.

 

On the other hand, Punjab Kings have won 2 and lost 2 matches in their topsy turvy journey in the tournament so far. Mayank Agarwal is Punjab’s biggest worry, and he needs to step up as the captain and score runs at the front to win matches for his team. Punjab suffered a devastating loss against Gujarat Titans when Odean Smith conceded two sixes on the last two balls of the match.

Liam Livingstone is doing wonders for Punjab in the middle, and the team will want him to continue the same in further games. Shikhar Dhawan at the top is getting starts but has not been able to convert it into big ones. Punja has found an able swing bowler in Vaibah Arora, and their bowling unit looks formidable. They need Dhawan and Mayank to fire in MI vs PBKS clash.

MI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Dewald Brevis, Kieron Pollard, Ramandeep Singh, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills/Jaydev Unadkat, Basil Thampi
