1- Weak batting (Mi vs pbks)

In the match, Punjab won the toss and decided to bowl. Mumbai, who came on the ground for the first batting, hit 184/7 runs on the board in 20 overs. For the team, Suryakumar Yadav, playing the biggest innings, scored 57 runs in 39 balls with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. Apart from Surya, no other batsman of the team could even cross the 30 -run mark.

If apart from Surya, any other player would have played a big innings, then the team would have crossed the 200 -run mark, which is not easy for Punjab Kings to chase.

2- Bad fielding (Mi vs pbks)

During the batting of Punjab Kings on the field for Run Chase, there was a view of bad fielding from Mumbai Indians during the batting of Punjab Kings. At the beginning of the innings, many catches were released from Mumbai, causing Punjab to get initial shocks. If the catch was caught, it is not easy for Punjab Kings to chase.

3- Bad bowling

In the first few overs, there was good bowling from Mumbai, but as the match was seen to be deteriorating. If the bowler of Mumbai, captained by Hardik Pandya, had dropped the wickets of Punjab in the beginning by bowling well, then the run chase would not have been easy for the opposing team.
