16 Apr
Summary
- Mumbai Indians aim to end losing streak against Punjab Kings.
- Punjab Kings remain the only unbeaten team this IPL season.
- The match is held at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Mumbai Indians are set to confront the unbeaten Punjab Kings in IPL 2026, Match 24, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are currently on a three-match losing streak, having started the season with a win.
Punjab Kings, under captain Shreyas Iyer, are the only team yet to taste defeat this season, with one match being washed out. Iyer, playing at his home ground, will be eager to lead his team to victory against Hardik Pandya's side. Last season, PBKS defeated MI in a qualifier en route to the final.
Both teams face challenges. PBKS's batting is in strong form, but their bowling has struggled to contain opponents. Similarly, MI's premier bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, is yet to take a wicket this season. Nehal Wadhera, a former MI player now with PBKS, highlighted the Kings' positive mindset and past success against Mumbai.
The match will commence at 7:30 PM IST on April 16, with the toss at 7:00 PM. It will be broadcast live on Star Sports network and available for streaming on JioHotstar.
