PBKS vs MI Dream11 Tips for Match 17 IPL 2021 Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians Today Match Prediction 23 April

PBKS vs MI Dream11: Two teams which have not been in their best form will fight it out here at Chennai with an aim to get their campaign back on track. For Punjab Kings, things haven’t gone since their win in the first match. Rahul has scored runs but his conservative style hasn’t helped the team’s cause. The Caribbean duo of Gayle and Pooran are yet to get going which means the pressure comes into the lower order. The lack of wicket-taking ability has hurt Punjab the most. Apart from young Arshdeep Singh, there haven’t been much positives in that department.

For Mumbai Indians, the season has been a mixed bag. Since losing to RCB in the first game, their bowlers ensured they won two closely fought contests. But the loss in the last game will worry them slightly especially when batting order isn’t performing at its best. Rohit Sharma has failed to play a long innings as he usually does. Suryakumar Yadav has looked at ease whenever he has come out to bat and MI will hope more of him. Bowling looks settled with Bumrah and Boult capable of defending any total.

Who will win today match?
With both teams eager to get a win, expect this game to be a cracker. After 3 losses in a row, Punjab have a huge task in hand. With big boys like Gayle and Pooran failing, Deepak Hooda and Shahrukh Khan have shown enough promise with their power hitting. Mumbai meanwhile are yet to see the best of its top order. The experienced middle order of Pollard and Pandya brothers have failed to fire consistently leading to many collapses. Apart from Bumrah and Boult, Chahar’s wicket-taking ability in the middle overs have contributed hugely in Mumbai’s success. Despite not being in best of forms, Mumbai will start as favorites in the PBKS vs MI Dream 11 Today Match Prediction.

Fantasy Cricket Tips, Captain & Differential Pick
Captain Options
L Rahul- Rahul has an excellent IPL record and can get big runs consistently. Despite not scoring quickly, he remains one of the top picks in a fantasy team because of his consistency.
IPL Career: Runs 2808, Avg. 44
Rahul in IPL 2021: Runs 161, Avg. 40

S Yadav- He has been the rock of Mumbai’s batting order since last season. Surya has looked in excellent touch every time he has come out to bat and can score quick runs even on difficult pitches.

Sharma in IPL 2021: Runs 138, Avg. 34
