After an 18-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians are set to cross swords against Punjab Kings in match 24 of the IPL 2026. The high-profile encounter will be played at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. 

Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings are at the opposite ends of the spectrum as far as their performance in the IPL 2026 is concerned. While Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings claim the second position on the IPL points table, Mumbai Indians are reeling at ninth on the ten-team standings. 

Ahead of the match, here is a look at the MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction, the fantasy cricket tips, the top player picks and the best-predicted Dream11 team today. 

Hot Picks For MI Vs PBKS Dream11 Team Today- IPL 2026, Match 24

Mumbai Indians

Hardik Pandya

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya is the most valuable player of the team for his all-round attributes. His power-hitting and wicket-taking abilities make Pandya a must-pick in MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction team. 

Sherfane Rutherford

West Indies batter Sherfane Rutherford had a memorable outing against RCB, hammering a belligerent fifty. As Mumbai Indians' batting lineup has been slightly vulnerable, Rutherford could be a handy pick in the MI Vs PBKS Dream11 team today. 

Suryakumar Yadav

Explosive Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav can play shots all around the park. With Tilak Varma sustaining a lean patch, Surya can be a crucial player for the fantasy contests. 

Punjab Kings

Priyansh Arya

Destructive batter Priyansh Arya has showcased remarkable form, amassing 103 runs at a blistering strike rate of 264.10. As Mumbai Indians' bowling unit hasn't been up to the mark, Priyansh can be a dangerous customer for the five-time champions. 

Shreyas Iyer

Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer is the backbone of their middle order. The fact that Iyer will play at his home ground in Mumbai and his ability to play impactful knocks make him a must-pick in MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction team. 

Yuzvendra Chahal

Veteran spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is a proven performer in the IPL. He can bamboozle the batters with his guile and could be a game-changer against Mumbai Indians. 

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai- Record of chasing teams

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is expected to favour the batters. While the fast bowlers might get some swing early on, the track will mostly remain flat throughout the match. 

Statistically, the chasing teams have been more successful than teams batting first, having won 69 out of 127 IPL matches at Wankhede Stadium. So, considering the playing conditions tend to favour the chasing teams, the toss-winning side will likely opt to bowl first.

MI Vs PBKS Risky picks- IPL 2026, Match 24

Marco Jansen

Marco Jansen has had a topsy-turvy IPL 2026 campaign. The South African allrounder has picked up only two wickets and scored nine runs in three matches. This is why he could be a risky pick in the MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction team. 

Nehal Wadhera

Young batter Nehal Wadhera has struggled with horrible form. Wadhera has scored 27 runs in three innings and hence he could be a risky pick in MI Vs PBKS Dream11 team today. 

Tilak Varma

Tilak Varma's IPL 2026 journey has been far from ideal. The southpaw has amassed 35 runs across four innings, and therefore, he could be a risky pick in MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction team. 

MI Vs PBKS Differential picks- IPL 2026, Match 24

Naman Dhir

If Rohit Sharma misses out on selection due to a hamstring injury, Mumbai Indians might send Naman Dhir up the order. In that scenario, the Punjab-born batter could be a differential pick in the MI Vs PBKS Dream11 prediction team. 

Xavier Bartlett

Australian pacer Xavier Bartlett has been impressive, courtesy of his wicket-taking abilities. Bartlett's ability to generate seam movement and extra bounce makes him a differential pick in the MI Vs PBKS Dream11 team today. 

Shardul Thakur

Veteran pacer Shardul Thakur has a knack for picking crucial wickets. He will likely bowl in the middle and death overs and might emerge as a differential pick against Punjab's formidable batting unit.
