PBKS vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis
Rajasthan Royals are cruising away at the top of the 2024 IPL table at present but, ahead of this game, both Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians are only four points behind the group of sides in second place.
Neither side have had the start to this year's tournament that they would have hoped for but Mumbai Indians in particular have turned things around and look set for a strong campaign.
Mullanpur has produced close contests so far in the competition and we could well be in for another tight 40 overs of IPL cricket in this game on Thursday evening.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Punjab Kings Preview
Although Punjab Kings were delighted to welcome Liam Livingstone back to their XI for their last game, it did not mean they were back to full strength as skipper Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out with a shoulder injury. The news is that he will be out for seven days so stand-in skipper Sam Curran is expected to continue in the role for this match.
Dhawan's runs will be missed at the top of the order, particularly as Jonny Bairstow has been in very poor form, which will mean that pressure will grow on the all-rounders in the middle order to deliver with the bat.
Fortunately for Punjab Kings, their bowling attack has been on form so it will all come down to how their batters show up on Thursday evening.
PBKS Over/Under Betting Tips
The stand in captain of Punjab Kings, Sam Curran started the tournament on a good note but since then he has struggled to score runs. Curran has scored 40 runs in the last three matches. With his team in desperate need of a win and his record against Mumbai Indians (133 runs in 4 innings) suits up well for this contest and we back him to come good and score over 17.5 runs.
Punjab Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Atharva Taide, Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Liam Livingstone, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh

Mumbai Indians Preview
Rohit Sharma must have wondered what he needed to do in the last game as he struck 105 not out from 63 balls but still ended up on the losing side against CSK in Match 29. He will need more in this clash though but with a batting order that includes Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Tim David and Romario Shepherd, this will surely not be a problem.
Jasprit Bumrah has been impressive with the ball over recent games and even when he goes wicketless he is rarely expensive across all-formats. Mohammad Nabi will be an excellent pace-off option and is likely to keep Piyush Chawla out of the team once again. Along with that pair, Hardik Pandya and Gerald Coetzee are likely to be danger men with the ball in hand.
MI Over/Under Betting Tips
Mumbai Indians on average hit 11 sixes per game this season and in four of the six matches played they have smashed over 9.5 sixes. The kind of power hitters Mumbai Indians have in their ranks, we back them to score over 9.5 sixes in today's IPL match.

Winning Prediction
Mumbai Indians had been on a winning run before their defeat against CSK in their last match but we are backing them to get back to winning ways in this game. Punjab Kings are a weaker side without Shikhar Dhawan and we expect his absence to be crucial.
