MI vs PBKS IPL 2026 live: The IPL 2026 season continues with another evening clash as Mumbai Indians take on Punjab Kings. Both teams are coming into this match with very different momentum, which makes this one slightly more interesting than it looks on paper.

Current form and what to expect
Mumbai Indians haven't really got going this season. They've lost three of their first four matches, so things aren't looking very settled right now. Rohit Sharma is likely to miss this match due to a hamstring issue, which does affect the top order.
Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had a better start. They've picked up wins and look more confident as a unit. That recent chase of a big total also shows their batting is in a good place at the moment.
Head-to-head record
If you look at past meetings, it's been quite even between the two sides. At Wankhede as well, both teams have managed to win games over the years.
Even so, form matters a lot in T20 cricket, and right now, PBKS seem to be in a slightly better position going into this match.
If you are planning to watch, the timing and streaming options remain the same as other IPL fixtures, so you won't have to look around much.
