Mumbai Indians Face Concerns Over Trent Boult's Performance Against Punjab Kings
Excitement Builds for the Upcoming Match
The anticipation is palpable as the Mumbai Indians prepare to clash with the Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium. With the lights shining bright and the countdown underway, fans are eager for the action. However, there is a notable concern for Mumbai regarding Trent Boult's past performances against the Punjab Kings in the IPL.
Trent Boult's Struggles Against Punjab Kings
Trent Boult has not had a favorable track record when facing the Punjab Kings. Across 17.1 overs bowled against them, he has only claimed one wicket, resulting in a high economy rate of 10.83. His bowling average of 186.00 highlights the challenges he has faced, with his sole wicket against PBKS occurring in 2020 when he dismissed Ravi Bishnoi. This history suggests that the Punjab Kings often have the upper hand against him.
