Both teams have a strong bowling attack and it is expected to be a battle between the pacers of the two units at this surface. Hence, in this post, we will try to predict the top three bowlers who will pick the most wickets in today’s PBKS vs MI IPL match.
1 – Jasprit Bumrah

| 10 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 14.40 | 20 Wickets in 15 matches at a strike rate of 17.00 | N/A |
After missing the last season due to an injury, Jasprit Bumrah is wreaking havoc in the IPL 2024. The right-arm pacer is fighting strongly for the purple cap with 10 wickets in 6 matches. While it will be the first game for Bumrah at this venue, he is likely to trouble the batters on this surface. The wicket has some spice for the pace bowlers and Jasprit Bumrah will enjoy bowling on this surface.
2 – Kagiso Rabada
| Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against Mumbai Indians | Record at MYS International Cricket Stadium |
| 9 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 16.00 | 12 Wickets in 11 matches at a strike rate of 20.50 | 4 wickets in 3 matches at a strike rate of 18.00 |
The South African pacer is slowly finding his mojo back and has been the go-to man for his skipper for the breakthroughs. Kagiso Rabada has picked up 9 wickets in 6 matches this season at an economy rate of below 8. The surface of the MYS International Cricket Stadium suits Rabada’s bowling style as the right-arm pacer has clinched 4 wickets in 3 matches here. Furthermore, his economy rate improves massively to 7.17 at this venue.
3 – Arshdeep Singh
| Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against Punjab Kings | Record at MYS International Cricket Stadium |
| 9 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 14.78 | 8 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 16.38 | 7 Wickets in 3 matches at a strike rate of 10.14 |
The left-arm pacer hasn’t been at his best in the IPL 2024 but he is getting better with each game. He has picked up 9 wickets in 6 matches so far but his best performances have come at home ground. At the MYS International Cricket Stadium, Arshdeep Singh has bagged 7 wickets in just 3 games. He has already picked up a 4-fer there and his economy rate also gets better to 8.62.
