MI vs PBKS Highlights, IPL 2023: Curran's 55, Arshdeep's 4-fer drives Punjab Kings to 13-run win vs Mumbai Indians

Short and Prabhsimran to open for PBKS. Meanwhile, Tendulkar will bowl the first over for MI.

MI: Ramandeep Singh , Kumar Kartikeya, Shams Mulani, Vishnu Vinod, Nehal Wadhera

PBKS: Nathan Ellis, Mohit Rathee, Sikandar Raza, Rishi Dhawan, Gurnoor Brar

MI: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim David, Tilak Varma, Arjun Tendulkar, Hrithik Shokeen, Jofra Archer, Piyush Chawla, Jason Behrendorff

PBKS: Atharva Taide, Prabhsimran Singh, Matthew Short, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran(c), Jitesh Sharma(w), Harpreet Singh Bhatia, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh

After winning the toss, MI captain Rohit said, "We are going to have a bowl first. Really nice to have some wins under the belt, winning is always nice and the atmosphere is good but the job is not done. Quite surprisingly nice and pleasant. Looking forward to this game. We have had some injuries but Jofra is back and that is the only change. Wankhede is a good pitch to bat on and it gets better as the game goes on, hopefully we restrict them and chase it down later."

Meanwhile, PBKS stand-in skipper Curran said, "Back to back games and not much time to think about it. No Shikhar, that's why I am here but he's recovering and should be back soon. Great opportunity for the others to put their hand and we are going with the same team. Lot of close games for us. We would have bowled as well, that is the trend but hopefully we do well. Have a good powerplay and then take it from there."

Mumbai captain Rohit wins the toss and opts to field.

Toss is upcoming and is scheduled for 7:00 PM IST! STAY TUNED FOLKS!

Dhawan's absence has proved to be costly for PBKS. The PBKS captain is their highest run scorer this season with 233 in four matches and is also ninth in the Orange Cap race.

Chasing teams at the Wankhede have won 11 of the last 14 matches, including the last five in a row.

It is a chasing ground and teams batting second have been more successful at the Wankhede Stadium. Spinners get a lot of help then fast bowlers here.

For MI, Archer could replace Meredith as the Impact Player option, if he is fit. Otherwise, MI will use Varma and Meredith as their Impact Player options.

Meanwhile, PBKS will use Prabhsimran and Chahar as their Impact pair.

MI are currently sixth in the league standings with six points in five matches, packed with three wins and two defeats. Meanwhile, Punjab are seventh with six points in six games, including three wins and three losses.

For the upcoming match, PBKS will be without Dhawan and Rabada. The PBKS captain will need around 2-3 days to be fully fit.

Also, MI will be hoping for Archer to be fully fit after showing discomfort in his right elbow after the match.

MI openers Rohit and Kishan have given MI strong starts in IPL 2023. Among openers, who have opened at least three times this season, the duo's scoring rate of 9.61 is second only to Buttler and Jaiswal's 9.75.

Curran was PBKS' stand-in captain in their last IPL match. Ahead of the MI match, he said, "We'll come back on Saturday. We are playing in Mumbai on Saturday, it's a good wicket out there and we're excited to play over there."

Ahead of the match, MI pacer Behrendorff said, "If I bowl my fours overs upfront and would then be able to walk off, it would be nice, wouldn't it? I think it is a good opportunity to give guys games. We had the same with Rohit when he was under the weather. Those sorts of impacts are really beneficial for the game."
