Punjab Kings under the leadership of KL Rahul were off to a promising start this season. However, the franchise faced three consecutive losses after a disappointing display with the bat. They will be looking to end the losing streak. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have had a steady start. Rohit Sharma and co. have two wins and two losses. The batsmen have failed to get going for Mumbai putting pressure on the bowlers.
PITCH REPORT:
The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium has been sticky and sluggish so far and have proved to be a challenge for batters. Toss could once again play a pivotal role and spinners are expected to dominate the match. The pitch is expected to slow down as the match progresses and anything above 170 could be a winning total.
