PBKS Team News & Playing 11
PBKS Team News
The biggest debate for Punjab Kings ahead of this game will be whether or not to select four overseas players in their team or give themselves some flexibility in the use of impact substitutes. After a season of injuries and unavailability, Punjab Kings have a full squad to select from.
PBKS Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan - The right-handed opener has been impressive in the IPL 2023 and is scoring his runs at a much faster rate than in previous seasons.
- Liam Livingstone - The English batting all-rounder hit his highest score of this year’s tournament in the last game, an innings which included four sixes.
- Arshdeep Singh - The left-arm swing bowling Indian international is in joint second place in the wicket takers list this year and is a threat across the innings.
- Sam Curran - The England all-rounder has been displaying good form this season. He has scored 192 runs and picked 7 wickets so far. He is a key player for all the PBKS matches.
PBKS Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Matthew Short, Sikandar Raza, Rishi Dhawan, Mohit Rathee, Shivam Singh
With three overseas players in the predicted XI, Matthew Short or Sikandar Raza could both come in. Short is a powerful batter with Raza equally competent with bat or ball.
PBKS Team Form
Punjab Kings have won three of their last five matches but will be looking to make it two victories in a row in this game.

MI Team News & Playing 11
MI Team News
There were two changes in the bowling department for Mumbai Indians ahead of their win over Rajasthan Royals in Match 42. Out went Arjun Tendulkar and Jason Behrendorff with Jofra Archer and Arshad Khan taking their places. Both are expected to retain their places in the side.
MI Key Players
- Suryakumar Yadav - When at his best he is one of the most exciting batters in the world and we saw Yadav hit 55 runs from only 29 balls in the last fixture.
- Cameron Green - The Australian all-rounder has been in the best form of any of Mumbai Indians’ batters over recent weeks and is averaging 48.60 in the tournament.
- Piyush Chawla - It has been a brilliant return to IPL action for the experienced spinner who made his IPL debut back in 2008. He comes into this game with a strike-rate of 14.31.
- Tim David - Tim David is being hailed as the next Pollard for this team. He is the key behind Mumbai’s current momentum. David can be a hard-hitting finisher for this match. He has scored 158 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 169.89.
MI Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Nehal Wadhera, Ramandeep Singh, Vishnu Vinod, Shams Mulani, Arjun Tendulkar
Arjun Tendulkar can consider himself a little unfortunate to have been left out of the side as he has shown himself to be a genuine wicket taker in recent games. Vishnu Vinod can come in to replace either batters or the keeper.
MI Team Form
Mumbai Indians have won three of their last five games but ended a run of two successive defeats with their victory over Rajasthan Royals on the weekend.
MI Predicted Playing 11
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma. Tim David, Piyush Chawla, Jofra Archer, Kumar Kartikeya, Riley Meredith, Arshad Khan

🏆 PBKS vs MI Prediction
We are expecting to see a high-scoring close contest on Wednesday evening in Mohali. It may be too much to ask for the total of 458 runs from Friday’s game to be beaten but it would be no surprise if both teams made totals of 200+. Punjab Kings have some excellent hard-hitting batters but we think that Mumbai Indians have the edge with their range of strikers of the ball. Overall our prediction is for Mumbai Indians to win.
