Mumbai Indian will face off against Kings XI Punjab in the 24th fixture of the tournament. Mumbai Indians started their season with multiple failures, but crushing down Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous encounters would have boosted up their confidence.
MI vs KXIP: Preview
Mumbai Indians played their last fixture against a well built Sunrisers Hyderabad, but a surprise package (Alzarri Joseph) by Mumbai Indians didn’t allow Sunrisers even to come near to the targeted score. Chasing down a small target of 137 runs in 20 overs, the Sunrisers struggled in front of the new bowling talent and were bowled out on mere 96 runs. All the credit goes to the Mumbai Indians debutant Alzarri Joseph.
On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab has been through many ups and downs this season. At present, they are sitting at the 3rd position at the points table with four wins in 6 matches. Fortune mostly favours the brave. There are yet plenty of loopholes in this team, but they seem to fix it all the gaps with time.
