Punjab vs Mumbai in Indian T20 League

The matchup of Punjab and Mumbai may not sound too interesting as the former has not lifted the trophy even once whereas the latter is the most successful team of all time with 4 titles. However, this disparity does not really translate in their head-to-head records as Mumbai has just a two-win advantage over the Punjab side. This shows that while Mumbai might have a better record, Punjab gives them a run for their money for sure.

In the recently concluded auction, Punjab has made some serious changes in their line-up with additions of Glen Maxwell, Sheldon Cottrell, Chris Jordan, and others to bolster their squad and pose some serious challenge to other teams this season. On the contrary, Mumbai made only a handful of smart buys with Chris Lynn, the swash-buckling opener, being the top buy. He should provide the early impetus to batting so that Rohit Sharma can carry his bat.

Mumbai looks to be one of the most well-balanced teams on paper with all bases covered and combining that with the winning mentality they have, they should be a force to reckon with in this match. However, with Punjab having the record of being no mug against Mumbai this should turn out to be a juicy contest for sure.
