IPL 2021 Match 17: PBKS and MI would look to get back to winning ways

The switch from fast-paced Wankhede wickets to slow Chepauk pitches had an immediate impact on Punjab Kings' results, as they failed to adapt quickly and suffered their third loss in four games. However, it isn't the only reason they are currently at the bottom of the table. They've been plagued by inconsistency in both their batting and bowling due to their inability to find the correct team balance, with the playing eleven having undergone numerous changes. Punjab's breathing room is minimal as they attempt to turn around their sagging fortunes, with the team expected to relocate to Ahmedabad after this game.
