Five-time champions Mumbai Indians' class and pedigree will once again be tested when they take on an unpredictable Punjab Kings in a must-win fixture on Wednesday. A win will give MI the much-needed push on the points table, while a loss will see them slip further and chart a familiar course like the previous edition.

MI had finished 10th and last in the previous edition. The side are currently placed seventh with eight points from eight matches and things are not looking great for Rohit Sharma's side.
