The stage is set, the lights are on, and the countdown for the showdown has begun. The awaited contest between the Mumbai Indians and the Punjab Kings is ready to escalate the excitement of the spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium. But Mumbai is concerned over one thing: Trent Boult's performance against the Punjab Kings at the IPL. The Kiwi speedster complements the Indian star pacer Jasprit Bumrah from the other end. But against the Punjab Kings, it seems like Boult has been restricted from creating an impact in the IPL.

Boult Vs Punjab Kings
When playing against the Punjab Kings, Trent Boult hasn’t performed very well for Mumbai Indians. Over a total of 17.1 overs bowled against PBKS, Boult managed to get only 1 wicket, resulting in an economy rate of 10.83. At 186.00, his bowling average illustrates how much trouble he had bowling against Bangladesh. His only wicket came in 2020, when he got rid of lower-order batter Ravi Bishnoi. He didn’t do well against PBKS while at MI, which means they usually dominate him.
