PBKS vs MI IPL 2024 Match Prediction- Who Will Win?
Punjab Kings have been remarkably inconsistent in their IPL 2024 campaign so far, Their batters have not been performing at all and their bowling has not yielded any good either. Shashank Singh, Jitesh Sharma and a few others have chipped in with decent performances here and there, but overall, their batting has not performed well.
Mumbai Indians were having a wretched campaign as well as they were winless in IPL 2024 until their fourth match where they defeated Delhi Capitals (DC). They followed it up with another win as they clinched a victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), but lost against CSK in their recent match. However, they would not be too disappointed with the loss as their batting put up a great show, with Rohit Sharma scoring an outstanding century. Jasprit Bumrah has been the one-man show when it comes to their bowling department. MI skipper Hardik Pandya is another chink in their armour as he has neither been able to perform with the bat or the bowl.
Mumbai Indians, despite their fair share of problems, look the stronger team and look poised to defeat the Punjab Kings in the 33rd match of the IPL 2024.
