It is time for another reverse-fixture in the IPL as Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on Mumbai Indians (MI) at their home turf in a crucial 46th game of IPL 2023 on 3rd of May, 2023. These two sides were involved in a cracker of a game earlier this season, when PBKS managed to get the better of MI at the Wankhede Stadium.

PBKS have won five out of their 9 games so far while MI have won four and lost four. A win here for PBKS will take them out of the middle-muddle while a loss for MI will put them in a tricky position.

IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali IPL Records and Ground Stats

The IS Bindra Stadium have been a host to 60 matches in the IPL so far and 27 of those games have been won by batting first while 33 have been won by teams batting second. That means that the team chasing a total have a advantage here.

It is a high-scoring ground with the pitch being generally good for batting. Also in the night games, dew becomes a factor and that gives a chasing side more luxury.

 The average first innings score at IS Bindra Stadium is 166 overall and in the 2023 season, it has been on a slight higher side at 172.7.

Also pacers have a better average and strike rate in this ground than spinners and generally there is some help for the seamers with the new ball. However, spinners do have better economy rate than pacers but overall Mohali is known for its good bounce and pace.

Overall, we can expect a high-scoring encounter with firepower in both the batting line-ups and team chasing the total will be in better position to win the game.
