Topmost Picks for PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Punjab Kings

• Shikhar Dhawan –  Shikhar Dhawan is the leading run scorer for PBKS this season so far, with 138 runs, but he has not set the stage on fire yet.
• Arshdeep Singh – Arshdeep Singh also needs to come good for PBKS now. He has blown hot and cold but has mostly performed below expectations.

Top Picks – Mumbai Indians

• Rohit Sharma – The experienced opener was back to his best in the last game with 11 fours and five sixes. He has now hit eight centuries in this format across his career.
• Jasprit Bumrah – The right-arm pace bowler went wicketless in the last game but he is a top performer and had taken seven wickets across the two previous matches.

PBKS vs MI Probable Winners:

Support MI to win. They have a stronger team on paper. Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klassen, Aiden Markram, and Travis Head form a lethal batting lineup, while Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Natarajan lead a formidable bowling attack. PBKS has been inconsistent, particularly with the bat. It will be a huge challenge for PBKS to defeat MI, who are clear favourites to win. Considering the team combination, Mumbai Indians is expected to win this match.
