Fresh from their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Punjab Kings (PBKS) now take on Mumbai Indians (MI) in an IPL 2023 match in Mohali.

With five wins in nine games, PBKS occupy the sixth spot in the points table, and look to register back-to-back wins only for the second time this season.

PBKS have struggled at the top of the game, barring the game against CSK. In the reverse fixture last month, PBKS defeated Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium.

Here's what we think could be PBKS' playing XI vs MI: Shikhar Dhawan's return was a boost for PBKS, while young opener Prabhsimran Singh also continues to impress.
