MI vs PBKS LIVE
Mumbai Indians will look to avoid their fourth successive loss of the season as they face the in-form Punjab Kings today. Mumbai suffered a heavy defeat against rivals Bengaluru in their last match and slipped to 9th position in the points table.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are the only unbeaten team in the IPL 2026. Sheyas Iyer's captaincy is doing wonders for them, and another win today will take them to the top of the points table.
Mumbai Indians lost both games against Punjab Kings last season and are in dire need to win today to keep their hopes for the playoffs alive this season. So, let's get ready for a thrilling encounter in Mumbai today.

Arshdeep Singh wins POTM award
Arshdeep Singh wins the Player of the Match award ahead of Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh for his 3 for 22 figures today.
"Feels good, it goes back to having a chat with Ricky. Told him the ball didn't feel right when it left the hand. Had a good session yesterday and the control returned, ball was seaming and swinging. The chat was nothing technical, I was expecting too many things from myself. He told me you're coming off a high from the WC win and you can't maintain that all the time. (Rickelton ball) The wobble ball is what I've worked on, still not there yet but I'm working on that as a variation. Wasn't the way I was expecting to get him out but you accept whatever comes in T20s. Wide yorkers I've been bowling a lot, wides too, but the plan is simple if the batters are set and there's a longer boundary."

Hardik Pandya reflects on MI's loss
"To be honest, I don't have much to say. We need to go back and see where we're lacking - if it's individuals, groups or planning and work it out. Credit to PBKS, ball started reversing. Dew came in the second innings but they beat us. They bowled and fielded better. We need to see if we need to make difficult calls or see if we continue and turn things around. Ownership has to be taken."
