The Mumbai Indians will take on Punjab Kings in match no. 23 of the Indian Premier League 2022. The MI vs PBKS match will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Wednesday, April 13.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are off to the worst possible start having lost all four of their matches in the tournament so far. The qualification for the playoffs already looks difficult for the most successful IPL franchise and they have to start winning immediately if they want to do so. On the contrary, Punjab Kings have had a mixed start to the tournament. The Mayank Agarwal led team has won 2 and lost 2 in the tournament so far and currently sit in the seventh position on the league table.
