IPL 2026: Who will win today’s match between MI vs PBKS?

MI vs PBKS IPL 2026 Match: MI welcome PBKS in IPL 2026 match number 23. Both teams have had contrasting starts to the season.

MI vs PBKS Live Streaming Info: After beginning the IPL 2026 season with a victory, the five-time winners, the Mumbai Indians, have already lost three straight games. On Thursday, they will play the undefeated Punjab Kings team in match No. 24 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The only team still undefeated this season is Shreyas Iyer’s Punjab Kings, who have dropped only 1 point after a postponed game against the Kolkata Knight Riders earlier this month.

Both Teams have had quite different starts to the season; Mumbai has won only once in four games, while Punjab has dropped only one point—due to weather, their match in Kolkata was cancelled.

IPL 2026 Points Table: Here are the latest standings, Points Table and Net Run-Rate

Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton gave Mumbai a great start in their most recent match against RCB, scoring 57 runs in just over five overs despite chasing a massive 241. However, things changed when Rohit had to quit due to a hamstring strain on the 19th. Given how much the team depends on Rohit to anchor the top order, seeing him stagger out caused obvious concern among the camp and the fan base as MI ultimately lost the game.

Additionally, Rohit became the first Mumbai Indians player to score 6,000 runs. His current IPL career total is 7,183 runs at a strike rate of 132.60. He will be crucial for his squad in tonight’s MI vs. PBKS match if healthy.
