MI vs PBKS IPL 2021 @ 7:30 PM: In another interesting yet crucial fixture, Mumbai Indians will be facing off Punjab Kings at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi in the evening. The defending champions are yet to open their account in the UAE leg of the tournament and have lost all three games, slipping to the bottom second spot.

The Rohit Sharma-led side is struggling with the out-of-form middle order and will be eying to bounce back and turn things around when they take on KL Rahul’s Punjab Kings. With just four wins in ten encounters, Mumbai Indians are placed seventh but are not out of contention. They will have a chance to progress if they win all their four remaining matches to make it 16 points. However, they will also need to up their net run rate which stands at -0.551. However, three victories from 4 matches could send them to playoffs if other results go their way.

Sitting at the fifth position, Punjab Kings too have 8 points from 10 matches but the momentum seems to be on their side. Interestingly, the KL Rahul Led side thrashed Mumbai Indians by 9 wickets when both teams met in Chennai in the first phase of the tournament.

Can they make it a double over Mumbai Indians and make qualifying scenarios even harder for the defending champions? Moreover, Punjab Kings too need to improve their NRR & also win 3 games out of 4 to qualify for IPL Playoffs.
