Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians prediction

With Mumbai Indians now officially eliminated from play-off contention, they can now only focus on planning for next year and which players will be a part of that from their current roster. A two-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru this past weekend ended their top four chances and Mumbai have now lost four of their last five.

For Punjab Kings, motivation remains extremely high. They may be suffering through a four-match losing streak, but they remain just inside the top four at the time of writing and couldn’t ask for a better fixture against already eliminated opposition to get back on track. Whilst they’ll no doubt make it hard for themselves when considering their current form, Punjab still must be favoured with the players surely significantly more motivation than those of Mumbai.
