Ben Dwarshuis was expensive – 1 for 51 in four overs – in his first game of the season, but PBKS are likely to stick with him in place of Xavier Bartlett. They are set to go with the same line-up that lost to Delhi Capitals on Monday.
PBKS XII (probable): 1 Prabhsimran Singh (wk), 2 Priyansh Arya, 3 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 4 Cooper Connolly, 5 Marcus Stoinis, 6 Shashank Singh, 7 Suryansh Shedge, 8 Marco Jansen, 9 Ben Dwarshuis, 10 Arshdeep Singh, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal, 12 Yash Thakur
Hardik Pandya is likely to miss out again due to back spasms, but there is also uncertainty around MI’s stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav. He had travelled to Mumbai for personal reasons after their previous game in Raipur on Sunday, while the rest of the squad went to Dharamsala. Suryakumar could join the team on Thursday; if he isn’t available, Robin Minz or Danish Malewar could come into the XI.
MI XII (probable): 1 Ryan Rickelton (wk), 2 Rohit Sharma, 3 Naman Dhir, 4 Suryakumar Yadav (capt), 5 Tilak Varma, 6 Will Jacks, 7 Raj Bawa, 8 Corbin Bosch, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 AM Ghazanfar, 11 Jasprit Bumrah, 12 Raghu Sharma/Krish Bhagat
