PBKS vs MI Dream11 Prediction IPL 2026: Punjab Kings (PBKS) turn hosts as the Mumbai Indians (MI) travel to the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium. MI comes to this game on the back of multiple off-field controversies, including their skipper, Hardik Pandya. Meanwhile, PBKS have not had the best of a time as well. The players from the Shreyas Iyer-led unit have come into focus for reportedly gaining weight, skipping practice sessions, and roaming around with their partners. For the hosts, they would want to break their four-match losing streak as soon as possible, and facing a down-in-confidence MI might be the best team to face.
The pitch and conditions at HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala will be under the scanner for the PBKS vs MI clash. With rain predicted in the city, the overhead conditions could play a bigger role than what the pitch offers at the venue. The HPCA Stadium has often been a paradise for the batters over the years. However, with overhead conditions being cloudy skies there could be some assistance to the fast bowlers.

Punjab Kings (PBKS): Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Cooper Connolly, Shreyas Iyer (c), Marcus Stoinis, Shashank Singh, Suryansh Shedge, Marco Jansen, Xavier Bartlett/Lockie Ferguson, Yash Thakur, Arshdeep Singh
Mumbai Indians (MI): Ryan Rickelton (wk), Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Will Jacks, Raj Angad Bawa, Corbin Bosch, Deepak Chahar, AM Ghazanfar, Jasprit Bumrah
PBKS vs MI Impact Players: PBKS will likely use Yuzvendra Chahal, while MI could continue with Ashwani Kumar as the impact player.
Cooper Conolly: Among the two teams tonight, it is Cooper Conolly who has scored the most runs. The young Aussie batter has been pretty consistent and on a batter’s pitch should be a must-have player in PBKS vs MI Dteam11.
Shreyas Iyer: In the last four games nothing has gone PBKS’s way, however, their skipper, Shreyas Iyer would be itching to have a huge impact with his batting.
Safe picks: Shreyas Iyer could be a safe pick for captaincy while Marco Jansen for a vice-captain slot.
Risky picks: Priyansh Arya has been relatively quiet in the last few games and could be a risky pick for tonight’s captaincy pick. Ryan Rickelton has a poor form outside Wankhede Stadium but could change that tonight on a good batting pitch.
Wicketkeepers: Prabhsimran Singh, Ryan Rickelton (VC)
Batters: Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (C), Cooper Connolly, Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir
