Mumbai Indians will square off against Punjab Kings in the 31st match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday. MI is slowly but surely getting into a groove and they will be looking to continue their winning impetus against Punjab Kings, who have struggled to get going in the last few matches.
MI has registered three wins on the bounce and they will be looking to carry the good show. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, could not chase down 175 runs against RCB in their last outing and would want more from their batters against in-form MI.
