TEAMS PREVIEW
Punjab Kings Preview
Punjab Kings dropped to third after their clash with Delhi Capitals was cut short due to a power failure. There’s no official word yet on whether the match will be replayed or if each side will take home a point each.
Before the stoppage, Punjab had stormed to 122-1 in just 10.1 overs thanks to a blazing start from Priyansh Arya (70 off 34) and Prabhsimran Singh (50* off 28). Prabhsimran has now piled up 487 runs in 12 innings, striking at 171. Priyansh isn’t far behind—417 runs from 12 outings at a rapid 194.85.
They’ve set the tone early in most games and been central to Punjab’s campaign. In the middle overs, Shreyas Iyer has done a solid job with 405 runs in 11 innings at a rate of 170. He’s stayed calm and dependable.
Nehal Wadhera has played his part with useful knocks, batting at around 150. His contributions haven’t been big on paper but have helped shift momentum.
Mumbai Indians Preview
Mumbai Indians were flying with five wins on the bounce, but their run hit a bump with a narrow loss to Gujarat Titans at home. That dropped them from second to fourth. They’re still in the playoff mix with two games to go, but at 12 points, there’s no more room for error. They’ve got the squad to push through, though they’ll need a bit of luck too.
The top order is doing a solid job. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have all put in solid starts. Rohit’s looked in rhythm again, with three fifties in his last five outings. Rickelton has hammered two fifties in his last three, and Jacks just hit one against GT. They’re setting solid platforms.
The middle order, though, is where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is on another level—510 runs in 12 matches, averaging 63.75, and going at 170.56. He’s in the zone and looks good for another 30-plus this time, too. Tilak Varma’s keeping the pressure on with quick runs and intent, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have added the finishing touches in tight spots.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket – it’s good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower.
The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain.
