MI vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today, Dream11 Playing XI, Match 31, IPL 2023

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for 31st match of the IPL 2023 between MI and PBKS to be played in Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians (MI) play host to Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match no. 31 of IPL 2023 on 22nd April at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

Having won three games each, Mumbai Indians are a notch above PBKS at 6th position and have also played a game less than PBKS. Punjab Kings have played six games and have won three games, they are in the 7th spot.

It was Cameron Green's show for MI in their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad as the Aussie all-rounder scored 64* (40) and also accounted for the crucial wicket of Aiden Markram. All in all, in the end, it was a perfect team effort that got MI across the winning line.

On the other hand, PBKS had an inconsistent campaign so far. After starting well in the tournament, the franchise staggered to get going. In the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, the batting unit has looked threadbare. Although Liam Livingstone has joined the group, after a not-so-impressive outing in the last game against RCB, the team will hope for better returns from him and the larger group.

MI vs PBKS: Pitch Report:

The flat surface and close boundaries at Wankhede Stadium are well-known for favouring batting in T20 games. High-scoring games occur because batters may play their strokes freely. Evening games may also be affected by the dew factor, which makes it simpler for the side batting second to pursue a goal.
