On Saturday, April 22, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, match 31 of the IPL 2023 will pit the Mumbai Indians (MI) against the Punjab Kings (PBKS).
In each of the previous eight iterations, PBKS failed to advance to the playoff round and twice finished last in the standings. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have had the greatest success in IPL history.
In the 22nd game of the previous season, Mayank Agarwal’s PBKS and Rohit Sharma’s MI met in PBKS. PBKS batted first, and their massive score of 198/5 in 20 overs was made possible by the tenacious fifties of Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan as well as a fast cameo from Jitesh Sharma.
Every MI batter got a chance to bat in response to 198, but none of them scored heavily. Dewald Brevis had the most runs with 49, but that wasn’t enough to get MI over the finish line; they fell short by 12 runs. Check complete details on MI vs PBKS head-to-head records.
