19:07   PBKS opt to bowl vs MI
Toss: Punjab Kings skipper Sam Curran opts to bowl against visitors Mumbai Indians

Speaking at the toss, PBKS skipper Curran said, "We're hoping to bowl really well and put some early pressure. Shikhar is not here, so that's our only injury concern. Rilee comes in for Jonny and Taide drops out. Couple of tactical changes, hope it works out."

Meanwhile, MI skipper Hardik, said, "We would've wanted to bat first, so it's a good toss to lose. (Season) We don't judge. Couple of times we had the game in our grasp but we didn't finish. But IPL is the kind of tournament that tests you - if the game isn't over it isn't over. We have to go out and give our 100%. We've spoken to the team and we've said make sure go out and give more than our 100%. Not from one individual, everyone has to step up. Same playing XI."

Pitch: There's light covering of grass and Anjum Chopra at the pitch report says there might be some help for seam bowlers.

18:30   PBKS, MI lock horns in battle for survival
Hello & welcome to the live coverage of match no. 33 of the ongoing IPL season. In tonight's clash Punjab Kings will host Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur.

Punjab and Mumbai will be desperate to resurrect their faltering campaigns in the Indian Premier League when the two bottom-rung teams face-off.

Only a few decimal points separate the two teams after six matches each with Punjab's marginally better Net Run Rate of -0.218 keeping them at the seventh spot in the IPL points table, one above Mumbai Indians (-0.234).

Both Punjab and Mumbai have lost four matches each and are coming off defeats in their respective last outings, which mean pressure will be high on both the camps to get their act together.

For Punjab, the challenge of getting the best out of their top order has compounded with regular skipper Dhawan being sidelined for 'seven to 10 days' due to a shoulder injury.

The only bright spot for PBKS this season has been resolute displays from their unsung Indian players Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who both bat lower in the order and have had to make up for the shortcomings at the top more than once.

Mumbai Indians would know they have enough firepower in the camp to turn the tide but a collective effort on a consistent basis is the need of the hour.

Two wins at home against Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru did end their three-match losing run, but a loss to Chennai Super Kings despite Rohit Sharma's century meant the five-time winners have forced them to go back to the drawing board.

Rohit and Ishan Kishan's form has become crucial for Mumbai Indians, for whom Suryakumar Yadav has produced mixed results.

Stay tuned as we bring you all the action. Toss to be held at 7:00pm IST.
