8. Final Prediction
Both teams have power-packed lineups with high-quality players. PBKS will look to bounce back with their all-round strength, while MI are riding on better recent form and head-to-head advantage. The outcome might depend on how the PBKS middle order handles Bumrah and how MI tackle spin in the middle overs.
Prediction: Mumbai Indians have a slight edge due to their experienced core and better recent form, but expect a close finish if PBKS bowlers strike early.
