TEAMS PREVIEW
Punjab Kings Preview
Punjab Kings dropped to third after their clash with Delhi Capitals was cut short due to a power failure. There’s no official word yet on whether the match will be replayed or if each side will take home a point each.
Before the stoppage, Punjab had stormed to 122-1 in just 10.1 overs thanks to a blazing start from Priyansh Arya (70 off 34) and Prabhsimran Singh (50* off 28). Prabhsimran has now piled up 487 runs in 12 innings, striking at 171. Priyansh isnβt far behindβ417 runs from 12 outings at a rapid 194.85.
Theyβve set the tone early in most games and been central to Punjabβs campaign. In the middle overs, Shreyas Iyer has done a solid job with 405 runs in 11 innings at a rate of 170. Heβs stayed calm and dependable.
Nehal Wadhera has played his part with useful knocks, batting at around 150. His contributions havenβt been big on paper but have helped shift momentum.
Marcus Stoinis remains unpredictable but can be dangerous late in the innings. Shashank Singh has taken on the finishing role quietly but has delivered under pressure more than once.
Mumbai Indians Preview
Mumbai Indians were flying with five wins on the bounce, but their run hit a bump with a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans at home. That dropped them from second to fourth. Theyβre still in the playoff mix with two games to go, but at 12 points, there’s no more room for error. Theyβve got the squad to push through, though theyβll need a bit of luck too.
The top order is doing a solid job. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have all put in solid starts. Rohitβs looked in rhythm again, with three fifties in his last five outings. Rickelton has hammered two fifties in his last three, and Jacks just hit one against GT. Theyβre setting solid platforms.
The middle order, though, is where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is on another levelβ510 runs in 12 matches, averaging 63.75, and going at 170.56. Heβs in the zone and looks good for another 30-plus this time, too. Tilak Varmaβs keeping the pressure on with quick runs and intent, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have added the finishing touches in tight spots.
Pandyaβs doing his bit with the ball as wellβ13 wickets with an economy of 9.17. Deepak Chahar has picked up 10 wickets but has been leaky at the death, including in the last game, which slipped away. Trent Boult has delivered both early on and in the final overs, and Jasprit Bumrah is starting to look dangerous againβeight wickets in his last three. If these two fire late, that could swing things MIβs way.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket β itβs good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower.
The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain.
