🏆 Final Verdict
Punjab Kings — edge on paper
Mumbai Indians are likely to beat Punjab Kings, as they have a home advantage despite their poor start. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya can dismantle opposition team bowlers, while Jasprit Bumrah strengthens the death bowling at Wankhede.
Mumbai Indians have a slight 52% win probability for the match. Punjab Kings depend heavily on Shreyas Iyer and Arshdeep Singh. Unless Yuzvendra Chahal delivers early breakthroughs, Mumbai Indians are expected to secure a much-needed win at home.
