Punjab Kings (PBKS) to Face Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2024 Match at Mullanpur's Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium

Rajasthan Royals lead the points table with four wins and one loss to Gujarat Titans in their previous match, while Punjab Kings are in eighth place with two wins out of five matches.

In 21 IPL matches between Hyderabad and Punjab, Hyderabad has won 14 times while Punjab has won 7 times.

LSG's regular skipper KL Rahul, who opened the innings with de Kock and is in the side as an 'impact player', could manage just 15 from nine deliveries before being dismissed by pacer Arshdeep Singh.

But just as the alliance was blossoming, Prabhsimran tried to pull Maxwell but a feeble top edge was easily grabbed by stumper Anuj Rawat.

Chasing 175, Punjab Kings were off to a fine start as openers Jonny Bairstow and skipper Shikhar Dhawan made their attacking intentions clear by smashing Khaleel Ahmed for two boundaries each in the first over.

Rishabh Pant is finally making his much-awaited return ending the 14-month wait. 

Set a target of 186, Dhawan, who last played competitive cricket in 2023 IPL for Punjab Kings, shared a 64-run stand with Abhijit Tomar in 7.1 overs.

 There was some good news on MS Dhoni's availability, with him being retained by Chennai Super Kings for the entire 2024 season, after undergoing a knee surgery post making the franchise win IPL 2023.
