Mumbai Indians v Punjab Kings – Betting Tips and Predictions

Read these extra IPL betting tips to feel even better equipped for this match. We include solid advice about the best odds on offer.

Back Boult as Top Mumbai Bowler

The Mumbai Indians continue to centre their pace attack around Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah. Boult is a left-armer and adds variation to the bowling resources.

The New Zealand recruit is one of the international superstars in the 2021 IPL and has taken three wickets in as many matches during the second leg of the tournament.

Boult is priced at 3.2 with bet365 to be Mumbai’s top bowler in this match. If he gets this right, the defending champions could win and keep their title defence on track.

Bet on de Kock in an Accumulator

Here’s a particularly interesting accumulator outcome. It involves the Mumbai Indians’ star wicketkeeper-batsman.

South African big-hitter Quinton de Kock is priced at 6.0 with 22Bet to hit a six, take a catch and make a stumping. He only needs to have on of each to make this a winning bet.

With two spinners likely to be in the Mumbai attack and de Kock renowned for quick stumping and hitting sixes, this looks a really good option.

Go for Gayle and Yadav in an Accumulator

Betway have Chris Gayle and Yadav priced at 2.6 to hit at least a four and a six each. This isn’t asking a lot of two of the best hitters in the tournament.

This could be made all the more probable if Punjab and Mumbai’s openers do well, leaving Gayle and Yadav to arrive at the crease at three and continue the momentum.

The stadium at Abu Dhabi is not as big as the one in Dubai, so the boundaries should be shorter for the batsmen to target.
