MI vs PBKS, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 23
According to the IPL 2022 schedule, the Mumbai Indians (MI) take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 23 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. Following the Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) 23-run win over the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday, MI remain the only IPL team without a victory in this year’s edition. They will thus be keen to break the jinx.
In the previous match, Mumbai came up with a below-par batting performance, which cost them the game. Batting first, they managed only 151 for 6. They would not have got even that far but for Suryakumar Yadav’s excellent knock of 68* in 37 balls. Kieron Pollard's form is a concern. With the ball, they need better support for Jasprit Bumrah.
PBKS have had a mixed run in IPL 2022, winning two and losing two. They should have beaten the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last match, but crumbled under pressure as Rahul Tewatia slammed Odean Smith for two sixes. Punjab will have had time to reflect on the disappointment and will look to come back stronger.
Today's IPL toss result
Mumbai have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. Speaking about the decision, skipper Rohit Sharma said:
“This looks like a similar pitch to the ones we have played on. There will be help for the pacers, so we need to exploit that.”
MI have made one change to their team, with Tymal Mills coming back in for Ramandeep Singh. Punjab are going in with an unchanged squad.
