PBKS vs MI Match Preview:
Time is fast running out for both PBKS as well as MI to get into the playoffs race. Both teams are languishing in the bottom half of the points table and need a remarkable turnaround to progress ahead of the league stage. Both teams will be hoping that the upcoming game is the beginning point of that turnaround.
Hosts PBKS have managed to win two of their first six games in IPL 2024 so far. They began their season with a win over Delhi Capitals before losing two games in a row. In the fourth game, they registered a thrilling win over Gujarat Titans before losing two more games. In their last game, they defeated at home against Rajasthan Royals.
On the other hand, MI have also managed to win just two of their first six games this season. The five-time champions began their journey under new captain Hardik Pandya with three losses in a row before registering two thumping victories at home.
However, they could not sustain that winning momentum and suffered a 20-run loss against Chennai Super Kings in the last game. Both PBKS and MI will be desperate for a win as another loss will take them further away from the playoffs.
IPL 2024 points table:
With two wins from six games, PBKS are at the seventh spot in the points table. On the other hand, MI are at the eighth spot with two wins from six games as well. Rajasthan Royals are currently leading the points table with six wins from seven games followed by Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

PBKS vs MI Match Prediction Today:
Over the years, the rivalry between MI and PBKS have been quite competition. Of the 31 games between the two teams so far, MI have won 16 while PBKS have won 15. Even the current form is not enough to separate the two teams as both of them have won two games out of six.
In such a scenario, PBKS will be starting the game as slight favourites because of being the home team. At the same time, the team batting second will have the slight advantage and is expected to win the game.
