PBKS find themselves in an IPL playoffs after 11 years and a win over MI at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday will make them the first team to secure a top-two finish in the points table. But Iyer & Co. are coming after failing to defend 206 against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
What will also keep PBKS worried is that leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal hasn\u2019t been available due to a small niggle. \u201cPunjab Kings\u2019 batting looks good \u2014 that\u2019s one area that\u2019s fairly organised. Bowling is the worry.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLet\u2019s hope Chahal gets fit quickly because when you have someone like Omarzai bowling the 18th over and Stoinis the 20th, you leave yourself open to being defeated in tight matches. That\u2019s an area they really need to work on,\u201d said Manjrekar on JioHotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In Chahal\u2019s absence against DC on Saturday, uncapped left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar stepped up to pick 2- 41, but it wasn't enough for PBKS to avoid a defeat. As of now, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has been the leading wicket-taker for PBKS this season with 16 wickets at an economy rate of 8.70 in 13 matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chahal and Marco Jansen have 14 wickets each, while Brar has nine scalps. After that defeat to DC, PBKS captain Iyer admitted the side went a bit overboard in bowling bouncers and failed to execute their plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
