Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings prediction

Mumbai Indians combined with RCB for 462 runs over the weekend, but it was the latter who came out on top by 18 runs after successfully defending 240. They’ve now lost their last three IPL games and will find themselves inside the bottom two by the team this match begins. It doesn’t get any easier for them either, with Punjab Kings rolling into Wankhede Stadium. The visitors have won all three of their completed matches with a washout thrown in.

Key to Punjab’s success has been not only the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, but also his penchant for runs. In the Kings’ last two completed games, their captain has accumulated 119 runs and he enters this latest encounter with his confidence high. Assuming we see another glorious batting surface, expect another weighty contribution from Iyer, regardless of whether Punjab bat first or second against Mumbai.
