Punjab Kings head into the IPL 2026 encounter against Mumbai Indians at Dharamshala on Thursday with momentum firmly behind them.
Starting off as one of the standout teams this term, PBKS suddenly find themselves at the tight end of the playoff race after their fourth straight defeat with Monday's three-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals.
MI, on the other hand, are already knocked out of this edition of the tournament.
The five-time winners demonstrated some good form, like chasing a high score against Lucknow Super Giants, but they fell just short against the likes of Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings, who exposed Mumbai's inconsistency with bat and ball alike.

PBKS can keep almost everything intact despite the losing streak. Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh should be their opening choice, while Shreyas Iyer should continue playing as the captain and a middle-order player.
The big question here is whether PBKS add another fast bowler for the Dharamshala conditions or if Yuzvendra Chahal will find a place in the XI.
Already eliminated, MI would more or less stick to their core experience players. Rohit Sharma's fitness had come under question earlier during the season, but he would be playing at the top of the order along with Ryan Rickelton.
Hardik Pandya might remain an option, while the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah are likely to keep their places.
Punjab Kings are the favourites to win this IPL 2026 match at 1.77 on Dafa, while the odds for Mumbai Indians to win are 2.06.
