IPL 2023, PBKS vs MI: Mumbai looking to carry newly-found momentum vs Punjab

Mumbai Indians would be eager to carry their newly-found momentum into the next game as they take on the Punjab Kings in Mohali on Wednesday.

Revenge will be on MI's mind as Punjab beat Rohit Sharma's men at the Wankhede earlier in IPL 2023.

Moreover, with Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David back to smashing sixes, Mohali would be a perfect hunting ground for the Mumbai batters.

In the last match at this ground, LSG posted the highest score of this season against Punjab.

However, Punjab can't be taken lightly as they are also coming off a thrilling win against CSK where they chased down 201.
