Mumbai vs Punjab on September 28
Defending champions, Mumbai Indians are in all sorts of trouble at the moment. Three back-to-back defeats in the second leg of the competition have pushed them down to the seventh spot in the standings, with 8 points in their bank. The batters played careless shots in the run chase against RCB, which handed them a 54-run loss. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav’s form is a concern for them. Interestingly, both have been named in the T20 World Cup squad. Punjab Kings held their nerves in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and defended a very low score to emerge victoriously by mere 5 runs. They share the same points with Mumbai Indians, but occupy the fifth spot in the standings, courtesy of a better net run rate. The tournament is wide open with 4 teams fighting for the remaining one spot and this match will be very crucial in that context.
Best economical pick – Mohammed Shami is the leader of Punjab’s bowling attack. He has scalped 13 wickets in 10 matches in this edition at an economy of 7.33, with the best figures of 3/21.
Top captains & vice captains – Rohit Sharma will be extremely disappointed with the fashion in which he was dismissed against RCB on Sunday. He was cruising well for his half-century, but ended his innings on 43 runs from 28 deliveries. Mayank Agarwal is well known for his adaptivity to any condition. Karnataka’s opening batter has hammered 332 runs in 9 matches in this IPL at an average of 41.5, with the highest score of 99*.
Smart pick – Lokesh Rahul has a good record against defending champions Mumbai Indians. The Punjab skipper has mustered 401 runs in 9 matches in this IPL at an average of 57.28, which comprises 4 half-centuries.
Cautious Pick – Adam Milne has picked up 3 wickets in 4 matches in this IPL at an economy of 9.35. Considering his current form, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
My XI – Rohit Sharma (Captain), Mayank Agarwal (Vice-Captain), Lokesh Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Harpreet Brar, Aiden Markram, Quinton de Kock
