Rain delayed start of the IPL match between PBKS and MI on Sunday.
Punjab Kings had opted to bowl against Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier 2.
Veteran leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is back in the playing eleven while left-arm seamer Reece Topley replaced injured Richard Gleeson in the Mumbai Indians line-up.
Winner of this match would face RCB in the final on June 3.
An eight-wicket hammering at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a one-sided Qualifier 1 may have eroded some amount of confidence in Shreyas Iyer's Punjab Kings, who are now in a do-or-die situation as they dream of winning a maiden IPL trophy.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians took another stride towards a potential sixth title with a comprehensive victory, which knocked out title favourites Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator.
