MI vs PBKS LIVE
Mumbai Indians will look to avoid their fourth successive loss of the season as they face the in-form Punjab Kings today. Mumbai suffered a heavy defeat against rivals Bengaluru in their last match and slipped to 9th position in the points table.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are the only unbeaten team in the IPL 2026. Sheyas Iyer's captaincy is doing wonders for them, and another win today will take them to the top of the points table.
Mumbai Indians lost both games against Punjab Kings last season and are in dire need to win today to keep their hopes for the playoffs alive this season. So, let's get ready for a thrilling encounter in Mumbai today.
