Mumbai Indians (MI) will host Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, April 22.
While PBKS is coming off a defeat to RCB in their most recent game, MI is on a roll, winning three straight games. PBKS will attempt to recover, while MI will want to extend its winning streak.
Mumbai Indians’ young players’ performance, particularly Tilak Varma, Cameron Green, Riley Meredith, and Ishan Kishan is the key reason for their upswing.
Without its captain Shikhar Dhawan, PBKS’s batting lineup has struggled. Due to a shoulder ailment, the Southpaw has missed three games, and it is yet unknown when he will be well again. With Liam Livingstone back, PBKS anticipates that the problems with the middle order will be resolved.
