MI VS PBKS Match 24 Dream11 Team Prediction for Indian Premier League 2026 Preview: For the first time since 2012, Mumbai Indians started an IPL season with a win. They recorded their highest IPL chase of 224 runs against KKR. But it was followed by three consecutive defeats. They lost to DC, RR, and RCB in consecutive matches. In fact, they not only lost those games; those were complete hammerings. There is no use of having Jasprit Bumrah in the squad if the other bowlers are giving away runs at an economy rate over 10-12.
In the last two games, MI have conceded 390 runs in just 31 overs, which is almost 13 runs per over. MI don’t have weaker or inexperienced bowlers. In fact, they have one of the best attacks on paper. But now, it is time to relook at their bowling plans, because they will face another strong batting unit in the next game. MI are scheduled to face Punjab Kings on Thursday (April 16) at Wankhede Stadium at 7:30 PM IST.
PBKS have been in incredible batting form, and are the only team that have not lost a single match this season. In the previous game only, they chased down 223/4 in 18.5 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya are in excellent form. Shreyas Iyer is giving them solidity in the middle overs. Their bowling is also a little concerning as they have conceded 200 or more in the last two completed games.

MI VS PBKS Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Both sides have struggled with the ball. That is why the toss will be important. The last game played at Wankhede Stadium saw 460 runs in 40 overs, and we might see another high-scoring clash. Generally, there will be dew in the second innings, and there are chances that both teams will look to bowl first. MI have a strong batting unit, but they have looked out of form in recent matches.
Rohit got injured in the last game, and his availability is a little concerning. Rickelton, Suryakumar, and Tilak have not looked at their best. Hardik and Rutherford are playing way down the order to make any match-winning impact. In contrast, PBKS have a solid top four, and all four batters have scored match-winning half-centuries this season. Hence, Punjab Kings will start this game as favorites, purely on their form.
