Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians: Match Analysis
The Punjab Kings seek their first Indian Premier League title, and they will come into this game hoping to get the job done at all costs. After an incredible performance that saw them finish top of the standings in the regular season, this team struggled against the Royal Challengers in the first qualifying encounter. In a 101-106, this team lost by 8 wickets, being their second defeat in three matches, with the first against the Delhi Capitals.
The Mumbai Indians now have their destiny in their hands as they seek their sixth Indian Premier League. The 2019 champions did a great job in their first quarterfinal game against Gujarat Titans, securing a 20-run win in a 208-228 contest. In the meantime, their performances have generally been impressive in recent times, winning nine of their last ten IPL matches, with their lone defeat against the Mumbai Indians.

Arshdeep Singh was the pick of the bowlers for Punjab in their last meeting against MI. The left arm pacer took 2 crucial wickets and gave away just 28 in his 4. Also, Josh Inglis batted for the Punjab Kings last time they faced the Mumbai Indians. This season, the Australian has scored 73 runs off 42 balls in the chase.
