MI vs PBKS: Top 5 Dream11 fantasy picks for match 24 of IPL 2026
The MI vs PBKS match of the IPL 2026 will be played in Mumbai on Thursday.
Mumbai Indians (MI) are scheduled to face the table-topper Punjab Kings in match 24 of Indian Premier League (IPL). This contest will begin at 7:30 PM IST on April 16 at Wankhede Stadium. PBKS are in the top half of the points table with their undefeated streak. They are looking good for another win.
On the other hand, MI have suffered three consecutive defeats and have slipped to the ninth spot on the table. Rohit Sharma is unlikely for this clash, which will be another blow to them.
However, MI have always bounced back under pressure. Both sides have several superstars, as Mumbai-born Shreyas Iyer will lead PBKS against MI.
Hence, we have suggested five players from the MI vs PBKS clash who could be a perfect choice for your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.
Top Dream11 fantasy picks for the MI vs PBKS clash
1. Priyansh Arya
If a player has an ability to strike at over 250, then he should be a part of a Dream11 team. That is what Priyansh Arya brings to the game.
The left-hander has scored 103 runs at a strike rate of 264.10 with ten sixes in just 39 balls he has faced. He is coming off a 16-ball fifty in the last game and is striking the ball pretty well.
2. Prabhsimran Singh
Priyansh’s opening partner Prabhsimran Singh has been another in-form batter for PBKS. He has scored 131 runs in three innings at 43.66 and a strike rate of 157.83. Singh has been in good form and is giving good starts to the team in the powerplay.
He is also the keeper and has taken three catches with the gloves. His dual role makes him a good choice for a Dream11 team.
3. Shreyas Iyer
The PBKS captain, Shreyas Iyer, is the man to watch. He plays his domestic cricket for Mumbai and has played a lot at Wankhede Stadium. He is coming into this game with two consecutive match-winning half-centuries and is a very confident batter.
Iyer has always performed well against MI. In fact, he won the Man of the Match award the last time these two teams met.
4. Suryakumar Yadav
The Indian T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has been short of runs. But he has always been MI’s top performer in crucial games. He was the second-highest scorer last season with 717 runs.
This season as well, he has one half-century. Even in the last game against RCB, he looked good for his 33 off 22. So, he is also a good pick to have.
5. Hardik Pandya
The MI captain, Hardik Pandya, is one of the key players for this team. His ability to win games in all three departments makes him a key player for any Dream11 team. Against RCB, he was also good.
He scored 40 off 22, took one wicket, and also took a catch. So, he is someone who can earn points in all departments, which makes him an ideal choice for a fantasy team.
