Mumbai Indians Playing 11 vs Punjab Kings- IPL 2024, Match 33

Mumbai Indians (MI) takes on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024 match 33 in Mullanpur. This is an away game for them after their previous loss to CSK at home.

Mumbai Indians bowlers had a tough game against Chennai Super Kings in the previous game. They managed to take just four wickets against CSK with the mighty Jasprit Bumrah remaining wicketless.

There were many talking points from the previous loss for Mumbai Indians but nothing more important than Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. He chose to bowl himself in the final over against a certain MS Dhoni which went against him as he was taken for 20 runs which proved to be the difference in the end.
