Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Prediction

Mumbai Indians have already knocked out one high-performing team across the regular season in Gujarat Titans and now they look to eliminate another, this time the league stage winning Punjab Kings who fellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first qualifier. 

The manner of defeat was a huge concern for Punjab fans, who saw their team crumble under pressure, bowled out for just 101 in 14.1 overs with RCB chasing that down in exactly half of their allotted 20 overs.

This is always the big worry when it comes to the play-offs, your momentum being totally derailed whilst the team who competes in the eliminator and comes through that game, builds up a head of steam which can take them all the way to the final. Mumbai Indians have so much more experience as a franchise historically of coming through fixtures like this one, whilst Punjab Kings rarely ever find themselves in the situation they are in now. 

When taking into account the way they were dispatched in the first qualifier and the doubts that may have created among their camp, backing Mumbai may well wind up being the shrewd play here.
