There’s nothing better for fans than a mid-week double header and that’s what we’ve got in IPL 2021 lined up for you today. The first game we’ve got is Match 41 between Delhi and Kolkata in Sharjah and a couple of hours later, the action moves to Abu Dhabi for Match 42 of IPL 2021, where the defending champions Mumbai Indians are in action. However, they’ve not played like champions and will be desperate for wins.
We say that because Mumbai is nearly at the bottom of the IPL 2021 points table with 4 wins in 10 games and they’ll need to win everything from here if they want to qualify for the playoffs. They’re up against Punjab Kings here today who also has 4 wins in 10 games and both will be wanting to get out of the mid-table struggle.

Stats that matter
- Head to head in last 5 games, Punjab leads 3-2.
- KL Rahul – 401 runs in 9 games in IPL 2021 so far.
- Suryakumar Yadav scores in UAE so far – 8, 5, 3.
Mumbai Indians
After missing the first couple of games, Hardik Pandya rejoined the MI squad in the last game and scored 3 runs while not bowling a single over, so we’re leaving him out of our MI vs PBKS fantasy team today for sure. His brother Krunal Pandya hasn’t been at his best either, but he’s likely to bowl a few and seems to be in a better position to get runs as well. Nathan Coulter-Nile is an option for the team after Adam Milne was taken to the cleaners in the last game.
With the bat, Mumbai’s most prolific run scorer in recent seasons has been Suryakumar Yadav and he’s only managed 16 runs in 3 games in the UAE leg of IPL 2021 so far. With many players not picking him in their fantasy teams, now is a good time to have him in our MI vs PBKS Dream11 team. Kieron Pollard has been good with bat and is almost likely to bowl as well, so he’s worth picking up today as well.
Punjab Kings
In the bowling department, there’s Ravi Bishnoi but with many left-handers in the MI lineup I’m not too sure how effective he’ll be, so we’d rather pick Deepak Hooda in our My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) MI vs PBKS fantasy team because he’s likely to bowl as well today. There’s also Chris Jordan as an option but we saw Aussie pacer on IPL 2021 debut Nathan Ellis and he didn’t disappoint bowling the last over of the game.

Fully fit and one of India’s best pacers at this time, Mohammed Shami has led the bowling attack for Punjab as well in IPL 2021 with 13 scalps in 10 games and we’re definitely picking him in our team today, maybe even as fantasy captain or vice-captain. With the bat, KL Rahul has been super consistent and he’s worth picking as well, while Nicholas Pooran is also overdue a big score.
