Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings Preview and Playing 11, IPL 2022

On a four-match losing streak, Mumbai Indians would be keen on doing everything in their power to finally get off the mark in IPL 2022. The five-time champions have had a horrid start to the competition and have lost all the games that they played. Rohit Sharma’s side have made experiments with the side in all these matches and despite coming close to victory, their maiden two points this season remains elusive to them. In their last game against RCB, Mumbai Indians strangely opted to field only two foreign players with the likes of Tymal Mills and Tim David not being considered for selection. Against a power-packed batting side like Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians must ensure that they have their best possible playing XI on the field, or else, a fifth defeat might follow. Mills and David are expected to come back into the squad as replacements for Ramandeep Singh and Jaydev Unadkat. IPL 2022 Points Table Updated With NRR

But Unadkat’s omission might not be a logical one, considering the fact that the left-arm pacer had a decent performance against Royal Challengers Bangalore, ending with figures of 1/30. Suryakumar Yadav is expected to bat at number three and carry on his excellent form for Mumbai. Punjab Kings on the other hand, will enter this clash seeking to put behind a heartbreaking defeat to Gujarat Titans. Almost on the brink of winning, Rahul Tewatia haunted Punjab once again, this time with two sixes of consecutive deliveries to doom Punjab to their second defeat this season.

Their team might not see many changes, given the fact that they were on a roll before the Gujarat setback. Odean Smith might retain his spot after a disappointing show against Gujarat Titans, where he conceded an extra run that led to Tewatia coming on strike and smashing him for sixes. With the bat, it was a golden duck for him.
