IPL MI vs PBKS, Match 42: Possible Playing 11 of Mumbai Indians

MI Playing 11: The Mumbai Indians will lock horns in their most crucial match of the season against Punjab Kings. It will possibly be their last chance to qualify for the play-offs and need to win this game to keep their hopes alive.

In their last league match, the team lost by a huge margin of 55 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The bowlers could not pick enough wickets and it was an average effort from them, barring Jasprit Bumrah who was terrific in the death overs to contain the opposition. The openers Rohit Sharma and Quinton De Kock again provided fine start to the team and scored 43 and 24 runs respectively. But the middle-order need to be back at their prime to win the match.

Team News

The team is at 6th position in the points table with 4 wins.
The team management may decide on including Nathan Couler Nile for this match.

MI Playing 11 (likely)

The Mumbai Indians have to put up a fine show in their crucial match against Punjab Kings. One of their major troubles have been the failures of other batsmen like Surya Kumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan and Keiron Pollard, who have been terrific performers, but have not been able to score runs in the Phase 2. While, Pandya brothers did not look comfortable during their presence in the last league match.

The team included Hardik Pandya into the 11 in the last game. This time, they are expected to include Nathan Coulter Nile in the place of Adam Milne who has not performed up to the mark.
