PBKS vs MI Pitch Report
The previous match at this venue saw a low-scoring thriller between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Thanks to Ashutosh Sharma’s brilliance, PBKS posted 147 for 8 in 20 overs. PBKS bowlers showed their class by not allowing RR batters to score runs easily and picking wickets.
There is some help for the pace bowlers which makes stroke-making tough for batters. The captain that wins the toss would likely field first, restrict the opponent, and chase down the target.
