Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns on Thursday (April 18) in Match 33 of the IPL 2024 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur.
Both sides have won two matches and lost four this season, resulting in them dropping to seventh and eighth places on the points table. Needless to say, it is a crucial match for both sides in order to stay in the playoff contention.
Let’s take a look at which matchups are set to be interesting for viewers, given the past historical records in the competition.
Rohit Sharma Vs Arshdeep Singh
Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
16 | 15 | 1 | 8 | 106.7 | 16 |
Rohit Sharma's struggles against left-arm pacers is nothing new to the world of cricket, and against Arshdeep Singh, it does not change either. They faced off 15 balls in the IPL, in which Rohit played eight dot balls, including a wicket.
Sam Curran Vs Jasprit Bumrah
Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
18 | 12 | 2 | 6 | 150 | 9 |
Sam Curran, who led Punjab Kings last time in the previous fixture against Rajasthan Royals in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, has not done much with the bat against Jasprit Bumrah, the very best in the business. The star England all-rounder has a batting average of 9 against the ace speedster, although his strike rate stands at 150.
Suryakumar Yadav Vs Kagiso Rabada
Runs | Balls | Outs | Dots | Strike Rate | Average |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
55 | 39 | 3 | 16 | 141 | 18.3 |
This is going to be one mouth-watering mini-battle. We all know what SKY can bring to the table if he finds his rhythm, but at the same time, if the bowler is Kagiso Rabada, you have every right to be excited about it.
And the past records, as mentioned above, highlight the same.
