Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indian’s ship is slowly sinking down and their hopes for playoffs are slowly breaking unless they start winning. Before coming to UAE, Mumbai Indians was the happiest team as last year they dominated IPL in similar conditions and again they were favorites but things have taken a drastic change. They have lost 3 consecutive matches. Their batting has been the biggest headache as their star middle-order players- Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan have failed to find their touch which has been their biggest setback.
Even Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma have looked good at times but couldn’t convert them into big scores which is also the reason behind their recent struggles with the bat. They are up against Punjab Kings who have won the last match but Mumbai has a good record against them and they will be hoping to start their winning momentum from this match.
- Form Guide- L-L-L-W-W-L-L
- Mumbai Indians have run rate less than 7 in middle overs.
- MI defeated PBKS both times in UAE last season.
- Rohit Sharma has scored 163 runs against spinners which is 3rd best in the tournament.
Top Batsmen so far in IPL 2021
- Rohit Sharma- 326 runs at 128.85 strike rate
- Suryakumar Yadav- 189 runs at 129.45 strike rate

- Jasprit Bumrah- 14 wickets at 21.71 average
- Trent Boult- 11 wickets at 27.09 average
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings were again involved in a thriller in the last match but they were on the right side of the result against Sunrisers Hyderabad. They defended a score of 125 on a small ground of Sharjah which is a very sight in IPL. They won but still need to work on their gameplay in the middle overs. If KL and Mayank get out early then they struggle miserably in middle overs as Chris Gayle only depends on sixes and fours which creates pressure on the other end.
Nicholas Pooran has looked back to his old rhythm which is good but needs to score big if Punjab Kings wants to claim that playoffs spot. They have struggled against Mumbai Indians in the past but last year they defeated them in a historic double super over which could be a morale booster for them.

Pitch Report
Abu Dhabi’s pitch has surprised everyone so far in the tournament. It has been a bit two-paced and at times best for batting. In the match between DC and RR, Rajasthan failed to chase 160 odd runs but in the next game Chennai easily chased 170 runs and the pitch played better in their match. A strong wind will assist seamers and it will be the most crucial phase of the match. The average score is expected to be around 160.

MI vs PBKS– Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction:
Mumbai Indians is expected to win the match against Punjab Kings
KhelTalk experts feel that Mumbai Indians will win against Punjab Kings in this encounter. Mumbai Indians have lost 3 consecutive matches but you can’t ever write off defending champions Mumbai Indians. They recovered from similar situations in the past and it is only about one perfect game to recapture their ruthless form. They have many match-winners in their squad and they could turn around things single-handedly.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings have looked good in 2nd phase but there are question marks over their middle-order which has struggled against quality bowling. Mumbai Indians have a strong record at Abu Dhabi and we expect them to win this match.
Popular Betting Odds For MI vs PBKS, 42nd Match, IPL 2021, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman from Mumbai Indians – Rohit Sharma (4.00 odds)
Rohit Sharma is the only Mumbai batsman who has looked in rhythm in this 2nd phase. He scored a free-flowing 43 runs in the last match and was looking in dangerous touch but got into the trap of Maxwell. This season he has been tremendous for Indians and especially against spinners, he has been instrumental. He has a strike rate of 135 against spinners in middle overs which is one of the best in the tournament and has scored 163 runs. He can give you good returns on this two-paced track of Abu Dhabi. Rohit Sharma is our pick for best batsman from Mumbai Indians.
Top Batsman from Punjab Kings – KL Rahul (2.50 odds)
KL Rahul has been again in usual boom blasting form in IPL. He has scored 401 runs this season and is 3rd highest run-scorer but it is the matter in which he has scored that is most impressive. He was always criticized for his slow strike rate but he has improved this season and even has smashed most sixes in this season. Rahul is an ideal candidate for two-paced wickets and knows how to handle such pitches which can give you good returns. KL Rahul is our pick for best batsman from Punjab Kings.
Top Bowler from Punjab Kings– Ravi Bishnoi (4.00 odds)
When Ravi Bishnoi was not part of Punjab’s first match playing XI, it shocked everyone but after the first match’s setback, he redeemed himself perfectly in the 2nd match. He picked 3 crucial wickets and helped Punjab Kings to defend a small total of 125 runs on a small ground of Sharjah which bagged him the Man of the Match award. He is a clever spinner and can harm Mumbai’s middle order on a slow-paced wicket of Abu Dhabi. He is our pick for best bowler from Punjab Kings.
Top Bowler from Mumbai Indians– Trent Boult (3.75 odds)
Trent Boult was extraordinary in the last match and his economy was even less than 6 when other bowlers were bettered by Maxwell and Kohli. He has a left-arm angle but his in-swinging ball which is the most threatening and will trouble the duo of Mayank and Rahul in power-play overs. In death overs, he has pinpoint yorkers which makes him a seriously threatening bowler. He can give you big returns from this match and is our pick for best bowler from Mumbai Indians.
