Match Preview
In the 36th game of IPL 2020, defending champion Mumbai Indians will take on revived Kings Eleven Punjab. After eight games of both the teams so far, they are placed at the two ends of point table; MI is at a top place with 12 points and good NRR while KXIP at the bottom of the table with just 4 points so far. However, we expect it to be a good and high scoring battle as both teams are coming into this game on the back of a convincing win in their last match. Mumbai Indians, a most IPL franchise has done a stupendous job, they got the IPL 2020 best bowling group and power-hitter in their rank. MI’s Opening duo of Rohit Sharma and Q De Kock is in great touch and providing solid opening stand consistently. Rohit Sharma and co. will be aiming for another clinical performance and register yet another win.
On the other hand, after losing few close games earlier, KXIP pulled off a great win against RCB in their last game and registered second win of the IPL 2020. Ones again, skipper K L Rahul was a key architect while chasing the score of 172. K L Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are in amazing form, the opening duo is the most successful pair of IPl 2020 so far. The batting-duo has scored 70% of the run and both have smashed a century in IPL 2020. However, the inconsistency in middle-order batting has hurt KXIP on many occasion and they will look to rectify it. KXIP will be hoping to carry on the momentum and play fearless cricket against formidable MI.
