Sam Curran wins the toss and opts for bowling. His first over produces one dot and one single.

Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians, after an underwhelming start to the season, will look for an effective comeback against Punjab Kings in their next matchup. Both teams come into this clash following losses so winning will be crucial in surviving this edition of IPL.

As MI has played six games so far in this tournament, they have only managed to win two and lose four, placing them eighth overall with four wins and four points which puts them below the playoff zone on net run rate.

Rohit Sharma leads Mumbai Indians and also serves as captain of India Cricket team; however, Rohit is under increasing pressure given that none of his matches have been won so far this season.

In his last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, he was charged with over-playing and was taken out for a duck, sparking outrage within his team and leading to questions over his captaincy in the media. This caused them to lose the match and place themselves even lower down on the table.

In order to avoid relegation, the team must win four games outright while hoping that other teams fall. Their bowlers must come through for them in this crucial battle against relegation.

Jasprit Bumrah has been one of Mumbai Indians’ key bowling weapons this season, excelling with both bat and ball. As a key member of their bowling department he will look to add to his wicket total in their match against Punjab Kings.

Lasith Malinga has been an essential member of the Mumbai Indians bowling attack this season, taking 22 wickets – more than any player has so far in this edition of IPL – which will no doubt help lead them towards reaching playoff contention. He will look to continue this good form and ensure Mumbai Indians’ success at reaching playoffs.

Punjab Kings

The Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) have been participating in the Indian Premier League since 2008 but still haven’t won it all yet. Now led by Shikhar Dhawan under coach Trevor Bayliss’ strategic guidance as they strive for IPL glory with talented players such as Dhawan himself, Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow, Kagiso Rabada.

The Kings got off to an outstanding start this season as they won their opening two matches before losing one, before coming back with some fantastic innings from Shaun Marsh and KL Rahul to beat Mumbai Indians with some remarkable innings from them both. Unfortunately they fell short of making it to the playoffs as they were defeated by both Royal Challengers Bangalore (RRB) and Chennai Super Kings.

Punjab Kings had some exceptional players on board but struggled to remain consistent throughout the season and finished bottom of their table despite winning some matches during its later stages.

Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara then led the side, yet were unable to match their potential or win close games; losing seven out of eight matches during 2014 season to end up relegated into bottom four division.

Chris Gayle and KL Rahul led their Punjab Kings side to seven wins out of 14 matches played, but again did not reach the semifinals.

This year, the team has struggled in its early seasons but are showing signs of improvement. Winning two out of six matches so far and currently sitting eighth on the points table; to qualify for playoffs they need a few more victories against quality opposition such as Mumbai Indians in Mohali.

IPL 2024

After months of delay, the BCCI has finally unveiled the complete schedule for IPL 2024. Taking into account Lok Sabha elections, this edition of IPL will see more matches played than in past editions; also changing venues for some matches.

Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings will face off at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Thursday April 18th at 4:30 PM local time. Both teams come into this match having suffered recent defeats: PBKS are currently eighth on the ladder with two wins and four losses while MI have an even worse net run rate -0.218.

Both teams are in danger of missing out on playoff spots, making this match of vital importance to them both as the victor will likely finish atop of the points table. Mumbai are keen to improve upon their performances this season after beginning poorly, hoping not to repeat last year’s disappointment of finishing sixth-last in their respective division.

Punjab Kings need a win to strengthen their chances of staying alive in this tournament, too. Co-owned by Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, Mohali-based side have only won two out of their six matches to date and must win their remaining five contests to qualify for playoffs.

Though their season started slowly, the Punjab Kings have managed to impress with their powerful batsmen and bowlers, such as Jonny Bairstow, Atharva Taide, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran, and Jitesh Sharma – with such big names on board, the team hopes to make an impression in later rounds of the tournament.

Match 33

Both teams have faced off in some thrilling matches in the past, and this game promises to be no different. Each is coming off defeats and hoping that one win will boost morale and boost their spirits.

This match will take place at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh and will start at 7:30 PM. PBKS have only won two matches this season while MI are languishing at the bottom half with four points under their belts.

PBKS will look to capture their first home win of IPL 2024 against Mumbai Indians in their 33rd fixture, an encounter which promises a fierce defensive-offensive battle between both teams. Even with an impressive batting lineup at their disposal, the Kings have struggled in this tournament thus far.

Rohit Sharma will look to build on his impressive start for the Kings as he leads all run scorers in this competition with 602 runs scored; Kieron Pollard and Shaun Marsh follow suit as runners-up.

Suryakumar Yadav has been in great form for Mumbai Indians and his 78 helped them post an impressive total of 192, with Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma both contributing 30s. However, Harshal Patel’s death overs spell curbed their momentum and helped the Kings restrict them to just that score.

PBKS batsmen have struggled to break through MI bowling. They are nine minutes behind with their over rate and will be penalised with field permits for being behind schedule. Rohit started his final over with an unsuccessful wide on leg, as review was upheld; Hardik then bowled short balls on leg that no PBKS batsman was able to bat on either; with their ninth wicket down they are on the brink of defeat and in danger of dropping to bottom half. If they want a top four finish they must win this match
