MI vs KXIP Preview: Mumbai Indians will be the favourites

Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab will head for a clash today, for an exciting match in Dream 11 Indian Premier League. Kings XI Punjab is in fifth place on the table, and Mumbai Indians are in the sixth place. The win is very crucial for both the teams. Both the teams lost their previous match and look confident of scoring a victory in the current game, at any cost.

So far, in the Indian Premier League, both the teams performed well in the current season. But, with few hiccups with bowling and middle-order batting, the teams lost the matches. Overall, in the IPL, both the teams played 24 games. In these 24 games, Mumbai Indians won 13 games, and Kings XI Punjab won 11 games. Mumbai Indians will have the upper hand, but if Kings XI Punjab makes any considerable changes and get hitters like Gayle in the squad, it will be interesting to watch.

Mumbai Indians lost their last match in a tie. Their top order failed in that game. They need Rohit Sharma and De Kock to give a good start. But, De Kock failed in three matches. Chris Lynn may replace him in the game for better results. The bowling looks good, and they may not make any changes to the bowling department.

Punjab lost their last game to RR. All their bowlers got smacked in that match. But that is a small stadium, and we cannot blame the bowlers. They may go ahead with the same bowling attack. Batting looks solid, but they need big innings from big man Maxwell. The match will be in Abu Dhabi. Since it is a big stadium, a high score can’t be expected.
