MI vs PBKS Match Prediction - Predicted Winner of IPL 2023 Match 31

A buoyant Mumbai Indians side will take on Punjab Kings in a crucial IPL 2023 encounter at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday (April 22). The two teams are currently mid-table and are pushing for the playoff spots.

Mumbai won their previous match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, while Punjab Kings fell to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore. MI are on a three-game winning streak and PBKS need to get themselves out of a muddle as they have lost three of their last four matches.

MI vs PBKS IPL 2023: Match Prediction

Mumbai Indians have found their cutting edge back after two defeats in the first two games of the season. Their batting looks good and the bowling has considerably improved. Key players like Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan have also found form which is a massive positive for the Paltans.

Punjab have somehow lost their momentum after a very bright start. They have been below par with their bat, and missing Shikhar Dhawan through injury has taken its toll. The return of Liam Livingstone will certainly bolster the batting, but they will be taking on a rampant MI side who have hit the accelerator button.

MI definitely look stronger on paper but the Kings from Punjab have the potential to punch above their weights, which they have already shown in their wins over Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants.

But in this match, Mumbai Indians are favourites and they are expected to win the match.
