On one hand, Punjab are slowly fighting for a place in the top-four as they look to reach the playoffs of this year’s IPL. The Shikhar Dhawan-led side is placed in the sixth position with 10 points after registering five wins and four losses out of the nines game played. The team recently bounced back to winning ways when they beat high-flying Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to register their fifth win of the season. The Shikhar Dhawan-led unit had to sweat it out during their last game against CSK. Batting first, Chennai posted a huge total of 200 on the back of splendid 92-run knock from batter Devon Conway. Punjab bowlers did well to restrict Chennai to 200 or else they would have got away to an improbable total. Chasing 201, Punjab batter, Prabhsimran Singh (42) continued his good form as he along with England’s Liam Livingstone (40) came good with the bat as Punjab chased down the target after suffering a major batting collapse. Punjab in their upcoming game will try to secure another win and further boost their chances of reaching the playoffs.

On other hand, Mumbai Indians are also coming into their next match on the back of a win against second-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR). Having suffered a defeat against defending IPL winners, Gujarat Titans (GT), Mumbai sprung back to victory against RR and kept themselves alive in the race for the IPL playoffs. The match against RR saw Mumbai recording their fourth win of the season. Batting first, Rajasthan piled up a mammoth total of 212, thanks to a wonderful maiden IPL ton by their batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. Mumbai bowlers did manage to pick up wickets but they came at the cost of too many runs. Chasing 213, Mumbai lost a few wickets too early but some vital contributions from Cameron Green (44), Suryakumar Yadav (55), and, Tim David (45) saw Mumbai crossing the line with comfort. Mumbai will look to secure two crucial points and move up the ladder in order to stay in contention for the top-four finish. Amit Mishra Surpasses Lasith Malinga to Become Third-Highest Wicket-Taker in IPL, Achieves Feat During LSG vs RCB Match.
