Match 42, MUM vs PUN: Preview, Match Details, Pitch & Weather Report, Probable XIs, Fantasy Prediction

The 42nd match of this season will witness the clash between Mumbai & Punjab. This will be the second time these two sides will lock horns in the 14th edition. With 4 wins in 10 games, the 5 time champions, MUM are currently positioned at seventh in the points table. Punjab on the other hand find themselves at fifth place with 8 points in their kitty. After choking against Rajasthan, KL Rahul’s men bounced back strongly to secure a hard fought victory against Hyderabad. The men in red will have all the impetus coming into this game. Reigning champions Mumbai on the other hand will be desperate to open their account in UAE. They suffered a stunning batting collapse against Bangalore in the last tie and as a result lost the game by a decent margin of 54 runs. Both teams will head into this game with an aim to increase their standings in the points table.
