MI vs PBKS Pitch Report
A high-scoring game is expected at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium despite the bowlers likely to get some help off the surface. Although the new ball should do a bit early on, the bounce and carry should favor the batters. There could be some turn available for the spinners, who will need to contend with dew. Wickets in hand will be key, with both IPL teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s MI vs PBKS Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Jonny Bairstow: Punjab Kings star Jonny Bairstow didn't have the best of outings in his IPL 2022 debut, failing to get going against Gujarat Titans. However, Bairstow is one of the most dynamic batters in the world, capable of taking on both the pacers and spinners. With the Englishman due for a big knock in the top order, he is a good addition to your MI vs PBKS Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma has underwhelmed for the Mumbai Indians at the top of the order with no fifties in four IPL 2022 games. Although he has shown glimpses of his ability, Rohit hasn't been able to convert his starts into big ones. With a lot riding on the MI captain, he can be backed to get back into runscoring form today.
All-rounder
Liam Livingstone: Liam Livingstone has been sensational in the last few games for Punjab Kings, scoring two quick-fire fifties. In addition to his batting prowess, Livingstone can also chip in with the ball, holding him in good stead ahead of the fixture.
Bowler
Jasprit Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the world with his numbers speaking for themselves. Although the Mumbai Indians pacer has blown hot and cold in IPL 2022, he cannot be taken lightly. Given his ability with the new ball and in the death overs, Bumrah is a must-have in your MI vs PBKS Dream11 fantasy team.
