IPL 2026 MI VS PBKS Live Streaming: How to watch Mumbai vs Punjab clash live in US, Canada and UK - Preview, Start Time, Venue, Squads and More

IPL 2026 MI VS PBKS Today Match Live: A struggling Mumbai Indians (MI) side will look to revive their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign while waiting on Rohit Sharma’s fitness ahead of a crucial clash against a in-form Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Mumbai on Thursday. Rohit Sharma hobbled off after a hamstring injury in the previous game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and his availability remains uncertain, leaving MI dependent on collective response. The team’s campaign has been inconsistent, with repeated failures in the powerplay overs costing them momentum despite a promising squad built for balance before the season.

In four matches, including a rain-shortened fixture against Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai have managed only three wickets in the first six overs, exposing their bowling inefficiency. Jasprit Bumrah has been economical but surprisingly wicketless, while Trent Boult and Hardik Pandya have also failed to deliver consistent breakthroughs.

With the bat, MI have struggled in the powerplay, putting pressure on Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, whose returns have been modest so far. Tilak’s form has dipped significantly with low scores across recent games, while the absence of Will Jacks further weakens their middle-order depth. Despite having quality personnel, Mumbai Indians have been unable to execute plans effectively, leading to three consecutive defeats.


Punjab Kings, meanwhile, have emerged as one of the tournament’s strongest sides under Shreyas Iyer, dominating with fearless batting approaches. Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have formed a dangerous opening pair, while Cooper Connolly adds depth and Arshdeep Singh looks below his best with the ball.

MI will need a collective effort and sharper execution to halt their slide against a confident PBKS outfit in this must-win encounter on Thursday night.
