The 46th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will see the Punjab Kings (PBKS) take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the PCA Stadium in Mohali on Wednesday, May 3. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the PBKS vs MI Dream11 prediction.

The Punjab Kings have been the surprise package this season, winning five out of their nine matches so far. They have beaten the likes of Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants and are on course for a top-four finish. PBKS' home record has not been great and they will be keen to improve it towards the business end of the tournament.

The Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, come into the game on the back of a big win against the Rajasthan Royals. While Jofra Archer's return adds some much-needed firepower to the bowling front, Mumbai Indians will rely on their batting unit to deliver the goods yet again.

The reverse fixture saw the Punjab Kings pull off a big win against Rohit Sharma and Co. But with both teams looking well-matched on paper, another entertaining game is on the cards in Mohali.
