Match facts
Great picture: Mumbai and Kings in contrast
Punjab Kings have only one flour with more than 150 goes this year, but he's going to miss Thursday's game with a head injury. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have three runs over 150, and those who have fewer runs are middle- and lower-order batters or have n't played enough games in the IPL 2024.
Mumbai's openers gave them a head start: the 30-28 partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan is the second-highest for the first wicket this year. They have only managed to score single digits in two of the six innings and have fifty-plus partnerships ( including a century ) in the other four. More than 11 runs an above have been scored in their relationship works.
The Kings have n't had such batting riches. Their standard openers, Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, combined for 168 works in 8.33. With Dhawan injured for their past match against Royals, Kings opened with Bairstow and Atharva Taide but there was not little progress.
The contrast does n't end there. Mumbai have hit 67 touchdowns this year, the next highest, while Kings ' 44 is the next lowest. In the powerplay, Mumbai's 23 innings and Punjab's four are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Though Mumbai's bowling is performing much better than Punjab's, they are just below the Kings near the bottom of the table with four factors from six matches. And that may be lower to the comparison between their ball units this year.
Despite Jasprit Bumrah's genius ( 10 wickets at an average of 14.60 and economy of 6.08 ), Mumbai have one of the poorest performing attacks of the season: their collective average of 35.72 and economy of 10.04 is the third worst among the ten teams. Punjab, on the other hand, have the best bowling average ( 25.20 ) and the fourth best economy rate ( 8.87 ) this season.
Perhaps it has to do with their home country. The powerplay operate price of 7.11 is the lowest this period, which means Rohit and Ishan will have to work together to give Mumbai their usual fast start on Wednesday. Teams have struggled to launch quickly in Mullanpur.

" Brar has been our powerful bowling if you look at his business or batsman- taking capacity. Last game, he bowled less dot balls but Livi]Liam Livingstone ] has bowled more dot balls and taken more wickets. Brar may come up stronger, he plays his private cricket on the same terrain. He did come up stronger".
