PBKS have the second-best run fee (10.05) and balls-per-sixes ratio (8.70) of any crew, solely behind RCB on each counts, and a defining characteristic of the requirements they’re setting is their refusal to decelerate even when wickets fall. Statistically, they’ve been attacking tempo much more than spin, which bodes effectively for them at Wankhede, the place the pink soil makes tempo bowling come on the bat properly and spinners usually play a peripheral function.
MI’s batters must step up massive time – they’re lagging behind presently – as the very last thing they’d need is their opposition displaying them the way to bat at Wankhede. The very first thing they’d need is to finish two streaks: they’ve misplaced three in a row since successful their opening recreation, and PBKS are but to drop a match.
