IPL 2021, Match 42: Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings – Toss Report

For Match 42 of IPL 2021, the struggling Mumbai Indians will take on Punjab Kings at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday evening.

Both the teams have acquired 8 points each so far in 10 matches and are lying in the lower half of the table. KL Rahul’s side will be upbeat after defending 125 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Rohit Sharma’s team have lost their last three games and are yet to register a victory in the UAE leg this season.

On the head-to-head front, the contest is close with Mumbai having defeated Punjab in 14 matches while losing to them in 13.

The KL Rahul-led outfit comfortably prevailed over Mumbai Indians in a low-scoring rubber earlier this season in Chennai. MI had set a target of 132, which the PBKS skipper himself led from the front to chase down with an unbeaten 60. Rahul averages a mammoth 71 versus Mumbai Indians; he has hit 5 fifties and a century against the 5-time champions.
