MI vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Batters and Wicket-Keepers
KL Rahul
With the highest FG rating of 10, KL Rahul is a no-brainer pick for this fixture as he is the 2nd in the list of most runs this season (401 runs in just 9 matches).
As context, he has a staggering record against Mumbai in the Indian T20 league having scored 640 runs in just 13 matches at an average of 71. Moreover, in his last 6 matches against them he has scored 4 fifties and a century.
Quinton de Kock
He is looking in sublime form with the bat as in his last 6 T20 innings he has scores of 24, 55, 17, 59*, 58* & 36.
He has scored 413 fantasy points this season which accounts to an average of 46 points per match, which is a great number.
Given that this match is at Abu Dhabi, de Kock can be a good pick as in his last 5 T20 inns here he has scored a total of 210 runs which includes 3 fifties.
Rohit Sharma
With 326 runs in 9 matches, he is the leading run getter for Mumbai this season.
In fact, he has been more consistent this season than any of his previous seasons as fantasy points scored by him read 62, 45, 51, 20, 84, 63, 46, 58 & 26.
In his last 4 matches against Punjab, Rohit has scores of 63, 9, 70 & 32.
MI vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: Bowlers
Jasprit Bumrah
He has 14 wickets (in 10 matches) to his name this season which is the joint 3rd highest.
Moreover, 8 out of these 14 wickets have come in the recent 3 matches, that is since the U.A.E. leg has started.
At Abu Dhabi, Bumrah has taken 16 wickets in 9 matches with being wicketless in only 1 match and thus points are always guranteed whenever he has bowled here.
Ravi Bishnoi
Bishnoi made a comeback into the side in the last match with a brilliant 3/24 and thus looks promising.
In his last 2 outings against Mumbai he had taken 2/21 & 1/12.
His credits are on the lower side and hence, he can be great bargain pick which is exactly what is needed for this fixture given that there are too many high credit players (KL Rahul, Rohit, de Kock, Gayle, Shami, Bumrah)
Trent Boult
In his last 5 matches, Boult has taken 5 wickets with being wicketless only once and thus has given guranteed points.
He also has a decent record at Abu Dhabi having taken 9 wickets in as many matches with being wicketless in only 2 matches.
MI vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction: All-Rounders
Kieron Pollard
Pollard has performed brilliantly in recent times against Punjab having scored 180 runs at a SR of 240 in last 4 matches.
He has not bowled enough overs lately, but he can be looked at as a bowling option given that Mumbai bowlers are struglling a lot and Pollard already has 3 wickets to his name this season.
Hardik Pandya
It will be interesting to see how Hardik plays after comeback from injury as he did not put up a good show with the bat in the last match.
Having said that he has scores of 17, 60*, 21*, 0, 30* & 30* in his last 6 matches at this venue. He can be a high risk/good return pick for this fixture.
Deepak Hooda
In his 2 matches at this venue, Hooda has scored 63 runs at a SR of 203.
He has not bowled enough this season, but in the reverse fixture earlier he had picked up a wicket (of Quinton de Kock) and thus Punjab might be tempted to give Hooda more overs.
