PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report IPL 2023 Match 46 | PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction Today | Mohali Pitch Report

Another day, another crucial match in IPL 2023. Punjab Kings (PBKS), who have struck three 200+ totals in a row, meet Mumbai Indians (MI) who are looking to keep the runs in check as they seek to join the bunch of teams currently on ten points.

One of those teams is PBKS, who have performed quite well so far this season. Their last effort was a stirring win over CSK, chasing over 200 thanks to Sikandar Raza’s final ball three to seal a vital victory. If they can display the same fight here, anything is possible in the quest for consistency.

MI are also coming off a super win, also chasing 200+. Tim David was the star, hitting three sixes in the final over to seal the win, sparking comparisons with the great Kieron Pollard. But, the key question for MI is whether they can win if they bat first, and they must do so against a team who beat them by 13 runs earlier this season.
