IPL 2023: Match 31, MI vs PBKS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings?

After winning three back-to-back matches in the ongoing IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians (MI) are all set to host Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, April 22. Notably, the Kings started the season really well, but their batting unit flopped in the last match against RCB, and that is one area that the team needs to work on immediately. However, skipper Shikhar Dhawan is very likely to make his return against MI, and that will boost their chances of going all the way.

When it comes to MI, their batting has significantly improved in the last few matches. Youngster Cameron Green showed a lot of composure in the last match against SRH, while Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma once again live up to their potential. With the ball, Piyush Chawla once again delivered, while Arjun Tendulkar was brilliant in both the powerplay and at the death.

MI vs PBKS Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Cameron Green:

Mumbai spent a whooping INR 17.50 crore to sign the Australia international in the IPL auction. He took time to get adjusted, but in the last match, he showed his class, and in Wankhede, where the ball will nicely come to the bat, Green can wreak havoc.

Probable best bowler

Piyush Chawla: 

Spin wizard Piyush Chawla is in remarkable form this season. The leg-spinner picked up seven wickets from five matches so far and can threaten PBKS batters, who are not in great form at the moment.
