With Lasith Malinga again within the playing XI in place of Alzarri Joseph, who was once taken to the cleaners by means of Buttler in their earlier stumble upon at the Wankhede Stadium, there hardly ever seems to be any chink in MI's armour.
While the world's very best bowler Jasprit Bumrah will take to the bottom with assurance of cast fortify from the opposite end, the world's very best rising seamer Archer should take on the problem single-handedly.
In powerplays and in death overs, Archer's execution has been immaculate, unlike that of Dhawal Kulkarni and Jaydev Unadkat. Royals' head coach Paddy Upton mentioned, "Archer is able to structure his six balls, he seems to know what balls to bowl at what time."
