PBKS vs MI IPL 2026: Punjab Kings will look to end a four-game losing streak to return into contention for a berth in the Playoffs in the IPL 2026 season as they take on Mumbai Indians in match no. 58 at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Five-time winners MI are already out of the race to qualify for the Playoffs with only 3 wins so far.
Last year’s finalists PBKS had been dominant in the first half of the season, maintaining an unbeaten record but have slipped up badly in the last four matches, failing to win a single game in this period. Shreyas Iyer’s side are now in the danger of missing out on a possible berth in the Playoffs as well.
Punjab Kings have moved to 4th place in the Points Table with 13 points, just one point ahead of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals – both of whom have 12 points respectively. But a win over MI in their 12th match of the season. Questions have been raised on social media about the attitude within in the team as well as leadership under Shreyas Iyer.
However, PBKS and co-owner Preity Zinta have categorically denied these charges and will be looking to end the season on a high. One of the biggest causes of concern for PBKS will be their fielding, having dropped a number of catches in their last few matches.

“We have dropped, yes I agree to it. There could be a lot of reasons including the crowd behind, the lights and everything. But at this elite level, yes those catches need to be taken. There is no doubt that we have been dented by them. But we are on it. You can see the practice is on till late. We are working very hard on it and hopefully we will set it right,” PBKS assistant bowling coach Trevor Gonsalves said in the pre-match press conference in Dharamshala on Wednesday.
Asked about the external pressures on the team, Gonsalves said, “We are only concerned and worried about tomorrow’s game and how we are moving forward in the cricketing part. Ricky is a thorough professional with all these parts. And he also knows who he is dealing with. The top elite cricketers are also very professional and it’s really great to see how he handles it. He doesn’t beat upon it.”
PBKS enjoy a slight edge in head-to-head matches against Mumbai Indians with 18 wins as compared to 17 losses. The Punjab franchise also won the only match against MI at Dharamshala back in IPL 2013 season.
