PBKS vs MI Dream11 Team - IPL 2021 | 23 Apr

It’s Match 17 of the IPL 2021 season and we have two teams with contrasting seasons taking place in today’s encounter. On one hand, we have Mumbai Indians who lost their opening game, hit back with 2 consecutive wins, and then lost again to have 2 wins in 4 games this year. They have successfully defended a couple of low scorers at this Chennai ground and seem to be enjoying it so far.

On the other hand is Punjab Kings that began IPL 2021 on a winning note but since then, they’ve got a hat-trick of losses. In the last game, they strengthened their batting by dropping 2 overseas pacers and the outcome was worse, getting bowled out for just 120. On this pitch, even a 150-score may be decent.

Stats that matter

Last 5 games head to head, Mumbai leads 3-2.
Nicholas Pooran scores in IPL 2021 – 0, 0, 9, 0.

Punjab Kings

If Punjab is to play a batting heavy side, it’s important the top few fire. With KL Rahul getting a rare failure in the last game, he is set to get back among the runs and though we thought Chris Gayle may have been replaced, they stuck with him and brought Moises Henriques in, so there doesn’t seem to be any scope for Dawid Malan as yet. Henriques may be wanting to prove himself and is worth picking in your PBKS vs MI fantasy team.

Another person who made his IPL 2021 debut in the last game was Fabian Allen and while he didn’t contribute at all in the last game, he does so in all departments, somewhat like how Ravi Jadeja does for CSK and he’s worth picking as fantasy captain or vice-captain, especially on this slow Chennai pitch. The pacers weren’t used much in the last game and Deepak Hooda bowled 4 overs for 0/22 so he’s worth adding to your PBKS vs MI Dream11 team too!

Mumbai Indians

Having got into double digit scores in all 4 games so far including a top score of 56 with the bat, Suryakumar Yadav is a must have in your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) PBKS vs MI fantasy team today. The middle order hasn’t been contributing much which means we’re picking another top order player in Rohit Sharma who is also looking in good touch, giving MI a good start in almost every game so far.

MI may adopt the same strategy of picking more spinners than pacers which means Jayant Yadav is going to retain his place, especially given the number of left-handers in the Punjab side. We’re taking a gamble and dropping the duo of Bumrah-Boult and picking Krunal Pandya as our second spinner because we know he’ll contribute with the bat as well. Kieron Pollard may bowl too, so he’s worth considering as well.
