Posted on 23rd Apr 2021 by rohit kumar

The 17th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) will be held in Chennai on Friday between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings. Mumbai team are fourth in the points table with 4 points from 4 matches. At the same time, Punjab's team is in eighth i.e. last place with 2 points from 4 matches. The last match between these teams had two super overs. It was eventually won by Punjab.

 

Mumbai team led by Rohit Sharma lost the previous match against Delhi Capitals due to the weak performance of the batsmen. At the same time, Punjab's team is coming into this match by making a hat-trick of defeats.

 

Improvement in batting is necessary for both teams

 

The Punjab team could only manage 120 runs in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. At the same time, the team could score 106 runs against Chennai. That is, his batsman has flopped in two of the four matches. On the other hand, the Mumbai team has not been able to cross the 160-run mark even once in four matches. In two matches, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult crossed Mumbai's naiya, but if their batsmen fail repeatedly, the bowlers will get extra pressure.

 

Punjab's middle order is failing

 

Punjab started with a win, but the team has been struggling since then. Punjab's batting is strong on paper, but no other batsman, except Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, can walk. His bowlers are also unable to perform as expected. Caribbean stars Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran are missing the innings.

 

These figures will be monitored in the match

 

Jasprit Bumrah will play his 100th match for Mumbai Indians. He has played 96 matches for Mumbai in the IPL and 3 matches in the Champions League.

 

Mayank Agarwal has scored 981 runs for Punjab Kings so far. That is, they will complete their 1000 runs for this team as soon as they score 19 runs.

 

Mumbai all-rounder Krunal Pandya can score a half-century of wickets in the IPL. He has 49 wickets from 75 matches to his name so far.

 

Rohit Sharma has scored 669 against the Punjab team. Highest among Mumbai's batsmen. At the same time, Chris Gayle (664 runs) has scored the most runs against Mumbai among the Punjab batsmen.
