Follow UsThe penultimate group stage contest can turn out to be a highly competitive match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, both of whom are eyeing a top-two finish that would allow them two chances to qualify for the finals once the playoffs begin.

MI are in scintillating form, with Suryakumar Yadav batting like a dream, and Bumrah bowling like the T20 marvel he is. PBKS have had suffered issues with bowling indiscipline, and if those persist against MI as well, MI should swat them away and win the game.
Suryakumar Yadav is in stellar form this season, and is the leading run scorer amongst both sides with 583 runs in 13 innings at an average of 72.8 and is striking at 170.46! No one even comes close to him in both these sides, and only the Gujarat openers have scored more runs than him this season.
With 19 scalps in 13 games, Trent Boult will be the best bowler on display in this game in terms of wickets, which he has taken at 20.36 runs apiece, while leading only 8.38 runs/over.
With the average first innings score being 206 in the last five games on this venue, and the average target chased being 210, Jaipur is a really good ground to bat on. Teams have had close games as well, which shows that the nature of the pitch hasn’t drastically changed in the second innings so far and will behave largely uniformly through the game.
It is going to be very hot in Jaipur with the temperature ranging between 38 and 32 degrees Celsius. The probability of Precipitation is 0%, but humidity is predicted to be 43%.
