Mumbai Indians will play against Punjab Kings today after losing four matches. Punjab's batting line-up is strong enough while Mumbai's bowlers are performing poorly. Even Mumbai has lost four matches only because of the poor performance of the bowlers. So if Mumbai's bowlers can play well in today's match, Mumbai will get the first win of the season. Otherwise, they will lose this match as usual.
Which is your favorite team for today's match?
I think Mumbai Indians are going to be really determined to win this match because they have not won a match in this IPL. I really don't think the bowlers of Mumbai Indians pose enough threat to the batsman of Punjab kings but I think the batting of Mumbai is quite good. I really want to see Mumbai Indians win this match because they really need it and when will obviously make things interesting going ahead in this tournament.
Unfortunately, MI have lost the match. Punjab played good in this match. They scored a good total for winning the match. Mumbai started very well but they didn't able to play continuously by taking wicket in their hand. Unnecessary run out and some mistakes are important factors behind losing the match.
The main reason for MI's lose is not choosing the correct players.
Also there are no backup option to make runs, if MI looses 5 wickets.
Accoring to me, they should have played Markande instead of Unadkat, as there were 3-4 fast bowlers (Including pollard), and 1 spinner.
So addition of Markande might help Mumbai, to slow down the pace of opponent team's batting.
Nevertheless, i guess it's an end for MI, still it will be fan's fav team.
