5.28 – Since 2023, Jasprit Bumrah has dominated the powerplay across all T20s (min. 20 innings), with a 63.8% dot-ball percentage while acknowledging boundaries on just 12.85% of deliveries. If talking about IPL, he has been even tighter(6.00 economy, 62.6% dots). However little more expensive (6.93 economy, 53.6% dots) in IPL, Trent Boult remains a powerful new-ball threat. Collected IPL Powerplay economy of under 6.5 over the last two years, building them formidable duo.
2. Explosive Top Order
150.62 – Since IPL 2023, Rohit Sharma (142.15), Tilak Varma (141.02), and Suryakumar Yadav (168.04) have collected for a strike rate of 150.62 in overs 1-14, scoring at 9.04 runs per over. Across all T20s since 2023, they have kept a scoring rate of 8.88 per six balls in this phase. This aggressive approach lays a powerful foundation for Mumbai finishers to take advantage in the death overs.
3. Wankhede’s High-scoring Nature
9.84 – In the last two IPL seasons, Wankhede Stadium has been the 2nd-fastest scoring venue in terms of runs/over, just behind only Eden Gardens of Kolkata (9.98). The highest total recorded in 12 occasions out of 28 since 2023 is 234 for five (MI vs DC in 2024).
