Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings are face to face in the 42nd match of IPL 2021. In this match being played in Abu Dhabi, the eyes of both the teams will be on the victory so that the points can go up in the table and the playoff hopes are not broken. Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and decided to bowl first. He has made two changes in the playing XI. Ishan Kishan and Adam Milne have been fired and have been replaced by Saurabh Tiwari and Nathan Coulter-Nile. There is a change in Punjab. Mayank Agarwal has a stiffness in his neck, due to which Mandeep Singh has got a place.
Ishan Kishan has been struggling with poor form this season. Because of this he is on leave. At the same time, Milne has also not been able to do anything special, so Rohit Sharma has to make changes in the playing XI. At the same time, Punjab has suffered a setback due to Mayank’s departure. He was in good form and was playing well as an opener. In such a situation, Chris Gayle and KL Rahul can enter the opening. Talking about the game of Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings in IPL 2021 so far, both the teams are struggling. Both have eight points each after 10-10 matches. But due to better net run rate, Punjab is at number five and Mumbai is at number seven. Mumbai has lost three consecutive matches after the IPL was shifted to UAE.
