The pace attack was at the receiving end of some fine hitting by PBKS batters in the death overs. The likes of Arjun Tendulkar, Jofra Archer, and Jason Behrendorff leaked more than 40 runs in their four overs. Piyush Chawla is expected to pick up wickets, as the 34-year-old has taken at least one wicket in each of MI’s last five matches.
