After three successive defeats, Mumbai Indians returned to winning ways with a 6 wicket victory over Punjab Kings on Tuesday. It would be foolish to change the winning team at this crucial stage of the season. Mumbai will need to win at least two of their final three group games to qualify for the play-offs.
MI Key Players
- Rohit Sharma - The captain made only 8 on Tuesday but he remains the leading run scorer for Mumbai Indians in this years’ tournament.
- Jasprit Bumrah - The pace bowler has looked revitalised in the UAE leg of the competition. He took 2-26 in Tuesday’s victory.
- Trent Boult - The New Zealand left-arm pace bowler has picked up only 1 wicket in the last three games but he is a top quality performer and will come good again very soon.
Three defeats in a row has given way to a comfortable victory over Punjab Kings. Mumbai Indians’ form is not impressive but they will take a win however they come

Rohit Sharma (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Saurabh Tiwary, Krunal Pandya, Hardil Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult
