Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, 46th Match, IPL 2023: Head-to-Head and other key stats from the game

Punjab Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in the 46th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. PBKS got an ideal start to their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign, recording two successive clinical wins. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by a narrow seven-run margin (DLS), the Kings played well against Rajasthan Royals but incurred a five-run defeat in a high-scoring affair in Guwahati. PBKS are coming into this game on the back of a thrilling victory on the last ball against the Chennai Super Kings. The Punjab Kings have a deep batting order and a balanced bowling unit as well, they will come hard against MI in this fixture.

MI have a good quality batting line-up but their bowling has led them down this season. Their openers, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan too have not been consistent and they would be hoping for more impactful knocks from the two openers. Suryakumar Yadav started the season poorly but has got back in form and with Tim David also firing in the last game. The form and fitness of Jofra Archer is key for them and let’s see how MI tackle the might of Punjab batters this time around. Piyush Chawla has been the pick of the spinner for MI. Both sides are well-balanced and this game has all the makings of going down to the wire.
