TOSS— Shreyas Iyer calls it right at the toss as Punjab Kings decided to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in match no. 24 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. However, the big news at the toss came from the MI camp, where the former five-time IPL-winning captain, Rohit Sharma, will miss the clash.
Mumbai Indians have hit a roadblock in their IPL 2026 season. After winning their first game of the season against the Kolkata Knight Riders, the five-time champions have suffered a three-match losing streak. On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have been flying high, being the only undefeated team in the tournament so far. As the two teams meet at Wankhede Stadium, it will be a crucial clash for the hosts. Another loss could see them playing catch-up for the rest of their matches. Meanwhile, PBKS with a win could jump to the top of the points table.
Mumbai Indians find themselves at the bottom of the points table, just one point clear of Kolkata Knight Riders, who are in 10th place. With only a solitary win in four games, the Hardik Pandya-led side is in troubled waters. The lack of wickets for their ace bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, would be a big concern. Former MI skipper and opening batter, Rohit Sharma, too, would be missing the clash after picking up a hamstring injury. His replacement at the top of the order will be under the spotlight.
Punjab Kings, like last season, have started the IPL 2026 season with pure domination. The Shreyas Iyer-led team is the only undefeated team in the tournament so far. In four games, PBKS have won three, while their clash against KKR was washed out. With seven points next to their name, the Kings are placed third on the points table. A win would take them to the top of the IPL 2026 points table.

Shardul Thakur came to bowl the 11th over and continued to be expensive. The medium pacer went for 18 runs as Prabhsimran Singh completed his half-century.
Both Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer have shared a strong stand. The two right-handed batters have brought up a fifty-run stand for the third wicket. They are taking the game away from the Mumbai Indians. The last four overs after the power play have gone for runs. Hardik Pandya came on to bowl the 10th over and was struck for a couple of fours.
Jasprit Bumrah returned to bowl his second over of the clash, closing out the power play. The right-arm pacer was struck for a couple of fours with both Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh making most use of the fielding restrictions.
Allah Ghazanfar is on a roll. The Afghan spinner on his return to the playing XI has picked up yet another wicket. Cooper Connolly was his latest victim as he dismissed the Aussie batter after being hit for a six in the over. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer got off the mark with a four off the first ball he faced.
Jasprit Bumrah dropped a fairly straightforward catch to give Prabhsimran Singh a second life at the crease. Hardik Pandya, bowling the fourth over, induced a false shot on the first ball, but Bumrah, despite getting both his hands to the ball, could not hang on to the catch. To make matters worse, Cooper Connolly struck a four and a six to get going in the over.
Allah Ghazanfar, on his return to the playing XI, has bowled an exceptional over for the Mumbai Indians. The Afghan spinner gave only a solitry run in the third over and even picked up the wicket of Priyansh Arya.
Jasprit Bumrah came into the attack early in the innings as the Mumbai Indians went searching for the wickets. The right-arm pacer bowled a tight over despite being struck for a boundary by Priyansh Arya. The second over went for only five runs.
Deepak Chahar’s return to the playing XI was not as fruitful as he would have hoped for. The right-arm pacer went for 21 runs in the opening over. Prabhsimran Singh struck a couple of fours on the trot before Priyansh Arya smashed the first six of the innings. Closing out the over, Arya struck yet another four on the final ball of the over.
The Mumbai Indians, after a topsy-turvy first 12 overs, have been restricted to a score of 195 runs. Despite a century from Quinton de Kock in his first game of the season, the five-time champions could not go past the 200-run mark. Meanwhile, the official broadcasters have talked about how the dew has already started to drop. With dew coming in before even the first ball of the second innings is yet to be bowled, it will be a tough task for the MI bowlers to restrict this dangerous PBKS batting order.
Unbelievable catch from Punjab captain, Shreyas Iyer! Hardik Pandya goes! Slower ball from Jansen, toe-end, skies it towards long-on. Iyer sprints across, leaps sideways and pulls off a stunning relay catch, lobs it mid-air to Bartlett as he’s going over the ropes. Brilliant awareness, incredible execution. MI skipper Hardik departs after looking dangerous. Mumbai 177/4 in 18 overs vs Punjab at Wankhede
FOUR! Drafted in after being ignored early in the season, gets his chance due to Rohit Sharma’s injury and makes it count straightaway. Lost wickets around him, but De Kock held firm and delivered big. Hardik’s loving it from the dugout. Clever, classy, and brings up a superb hundred in style. MI 169/3 in 17 overs vs PBKS at Wankhede
SIX! Back-to-back maximums — Quinton de Kock is on a rampage! Was it the right call to give Shashank another over? Not looking like it. Length ball around off, QDK shuffles across, gets under it and launches it high over deep square leg. Clean strike, big hit. Mumbai 160/3 in 16 overs vs Punjab at Wankhede
OUT! Shashank Singh does it again; he has developed a habit of breaking partnerships! Naman Dhir departs after scoring a fine half-century. Length ball outside off, Dhir goes for the loft on the up but doesn’t get the elevation. Hits it flat towards long-off and straight to Bartlett. Xavier Bartlett times his jump perfectly, stretches up and takes a sharp catch over his head. Partnership broken at a crucial moment. Mumbai Indians 136/3 in 14 overs vs Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium
De Kock is taking Chahal apart here at Wankhede! FIFTY up — his 25th in the IPL, and it’s come off just 28 balls. Raises the bat, soaks in the applause. Earlier in the over, he danced down the track to a tossed-up delivery on leg and launched it over deep mid-wicket for six. Got to the pitch in a flash and put it away with aplomb. Mumbai Indians 97/2 in 10 overs vs Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium
50 up for the stand! Chahal drops it short and wide, and QDK is all over it — rocks back and pulls it wide of long-on. Hit with authority, no chance for the fielder.
SIX! 15 runs from Vijaykumar Vyshak’s first over! Just the kind of over Mumbai Indians was looking for. It was a length delivery, Naman Dhir clears his front foot and thumps it over long-on for a maximum. Mumbai Indians 48/2 in 6 overs vs Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium
Two in two! Arshdeep Singh is on fire here. He gets it to shape away, Suryakumar Yadav goes hard on the drive but only finds the edge. Flies to the short third man where Chahal moves left and takes a sharp catch. Punjab fans are having a ball here at Wankhede — this is turning quickly. Hat-trick ball coming up for Arshdeep! Mumbai 12/2 in 2.2 overs vs Punjab at Wankhede
WICKET! Arshdeep Singh strikes early, and it’s a big one, Ryan Rickelton gone for 2! Milestone moment — 100 IPL wickets for Arshdeep. Not the best delivery, sprayed down leg, but Rickelton flicks it straight to Shashank Singh at deep square leg. Hit well, but straight to the fielder — MI lose their opener early. MI 12/1 in 2.1 overs vs PBKS at Wankhede
SIX! What a start from QDK! Wide from Marco Jansen outside off, and Quinton de Kock reaches out, throws his hands at it and bang — straight through the line. Lofted cleanly over cover, and that sails all the way. Mumbai Indians 12/0 in 1.3 overs vs Punjab Kings at Wankhede Stadium
Here we go! The umpires are out, and the players follow — game on. Mumbai Indians roll out a fresh opening pair, with Quinton de Kock joining Ryan Rickelton at the top. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand for Punjab Kings. Rickelton takes strike, de Kock at the other end — all set for the first ball.
Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium. In two games at the venue so far, the team batting first and bowling first has won once each. Meanwhile, the big news came from the MI camp, where Rohit Sharma is set to miss a couple of games, including this one. He has been replaced by Quinton de Kock at the top of the order.
Yuzvendra Chahal has dominated past encounters against Hardik Pandya. As the two players set up yet another potential meeting in the middle overs, Chahal would love to continue his dominance over the MI skipper. In 15 innings, the leg-spinner has got the better of Pandya on four occasions. In 75 balls, Hardik has been kept quiet by the wily leg-spinner. The all-rounder has scored only 71 runs against Chahal in the IPL.
