Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings: Mumbai to register their first win with the added pressure

When Mumbai will be looking to start their journey in the IPL, Punjab will be looking to rectify their mistakes from the last game and come out on top in another high-profile game in the competition. 

Mumbai being the slow starters in the IPL has shown the same colors again. With no wins in four games, they are currently sitting at the bottom of the table. They have to wake up from their slumber now or this competition can go out of their reach pretty fast. Despite doing so many changes in the team they have not been able to sort out their best playing eleven. They have to accelerate that process and come up with the goods if they want to survive in this competition. 

Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Kieron Pollard, Fabien Allen, Murugan Ashwin, Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi

Though Punjab are going into the game as favorites, they have had their challenges in recent games. They are sitting in the seventh spot with four points to their name. Punjab boasts their strong aggressive batting lineup which can take on any good bowling attack. They still have to find consistency in that and their composure in clutch situations, which is missing. They can bring Benny Howell for Odean Smith to strengthen their lineup for this game. 

Mayank Agarwal (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Shahrukh Khan, Rishi Dhawan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Vaibhav Arora, Arshdeep Singh

The team which will win the toss will definitely like to bowl first. Mumbai will have added pressure of winning games to stay in the hunt so they will be more eager and streamline their attack to win. We are backing on Mumbai to do just that. We are also expecting a score of around 150-160 in the first innings.

• Mumbai to win for 1.86;
• Total Runs, Over Number 1 under 5.5 for 1.80;
• Each Team To Score Over 159.5 Runs for 1.73
