• Time: 7:30 PM IST

Key fantasy pointers

• Both Punjab and Mumbai are coming on the back of a win by chasing over 200. 

• Cameron Green scored 67 in the last meeting against Punjab and also has scored highest runs for MI in the last three matches combined.

• Suyakumar Yadav has 135 runs at a strike rate of 201 in the last three games, including two half centuries as well.

• Surya’s value is even higher if Mumbai is batting second.

• Piyush Chawla has six wickets in the last three matches for Mumbai. 

• Punjab Kings has a batting average of 16.5 against right arm wrist spin and 15 dismissals this season..

• Rohit Sharma has 16 runs in 15 balls and a wicket against Arshdeep Singh, followed by an average of 11.7 in T20Is and 19 in T20s at Mohali in the last ten years.

• Arshadeep Singh took four wickets when these two sides met last time and also currently the highest wicket taker for Punjab with 15 wickets. 

• Shikhar Dhawan has not been scoring at the same rate since coming back from injury. However, he is still a worthy pick if Punjab bats first. 

• Harpreet can be a top differential pick for this game in Mohali as Mumbai is averaging 16 and has a strike rate below 100 against left arm orthodox.

• Despite being the premier leg spinner for Punjab, Rahul Chahar has been very disappointing as he has only three wickets in the season so far. In addition, Mumbai has been decent enough against leg spinners this season, scoring more than 250 runs at a strike rate of 145.4.

• Surya has faced two balls against left arm spin this season and got out once.

• He also got out thrice against left arm seamers this season which is highest against any type of bowler.

• However, he has got out against Arshdeep only once in his T20 career and that was in the last fixture this season.

• Surya vs Sam Curran, 31 off 14, one out.

PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Base fantasy team safe + medium risk (irrespective of toss)

Spots left: 3

Highest ownerships from outside base team: Ishan, Prabhsimran, Rohit, Taide, Livingstone, Raza 

Ishan vs Prabhsimran

• Ishan Kishan has 17 runs in the last 4 innings against Punjab. Moreover, he is not having a great season at the top of the order for Mumbai as has only managed a single half century in eight games so far.

• Prabhsimran is striking above 150 this season at the top of the order for Punjab. As Mohali has been a good venue for the openers, Prabhsimran can be a worthy pick if Punjab bats first.

Rohit vs Taide

• Rohit Sharma's T20 record in Mohali is not convincing. In addition, he will be a risky pick considering there are two left arm seamers in the Punjab lineup.

• Atharva Taide has done well in the limited opportunity he is getting. His abilities to make quick runs can make a lot of difference to your points tally.

Livingstone vs Raza

• Livingstone is coming on the back of a match winning 40 away from home against Chennai but yet to fire in any home game in Mohali. He will be a hot and cold kind of option against the likes of Chawla and Kumar Karthikeya.

• Raza has been the best batter for Punjab if they are chasing a target. Moreover, his all-round abilities always makes him a worthy pick in conditions like that of Mohali.

If PBKS bat first

• Complete team with three of Livingstone, Taide, Prabhsimran, Rohit

• Captaincy choices: Dhawan, Chawla, Arshdeep, Surya

• Do not captain: Curran

If MI bat first

• Join with more than 5 teams and alternate differentials 

• Change 2 out of the 7 players with 70% ownership (in team 6 onwards)

• Pick one player who was brought in for this game

Choices for this game

• Make Harpreet c/vc in at least one team

• Make Dhawan + Arshdeep c/vc in 1 team

• Captain Ishan in 1 team if Mumbai bat first.

• Captain Green + Surya c/vc in 1 team

• Have one team with all MI middle order batters

• Make Tim David c/vc in one team at least if MI bat second.

Jitesh, Dhawan, Surya, Curran, Green, Chawla, Arshdeep 

Other picks in order: Arshad (3 teams at least), Meredith (3 teams if MI bowl first), Taide (3 teams at least), Rohit (3 teams if MI bowl first), Raza (if Punjab bowl first in 3 teams), Rabada (in 5 teams if PBKS bowl first, else from T6 onwards), Varma (in all the teams if MI bat first)

One major differential pick: Rahul Chahar (in 1 team), Shahrukh Khan (2 teams if Punjab batting second)

PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction: Who will win the battle between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians?

Last time, PBKS defeated Mumbai convincingly at their den and they were missing some key players as well. This time, they are playing at home and players like Shikhar Dhawan and Kagiso Rabada are back as well. That makes PBKS the favourites to win once again.
