The action continues in IPL 2026 as Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Punjab Kings on April 16 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Mumbai Indians have had an inconsistent start to the season, with just one victory out of their four games played so far. They have not done well recently and will definitely be aiming for better results, especially playing at their home ground.
