Abu Dhabi, Dt
When Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab clash tomorrow, both will be looking to regain the winning momentum after a shocking defeat in the final despite a stellar performance in the Indian Premier League. The teams led by Rohit Sharma and Rahul have tremendous power-hitters, which is why cricket fans are expecting a high-scoring encounter tomorrow.
The match in Abu Dhabi will start at 7.30 pm Indian time. The last match between Delhi and Hyderabad played at this ground was low scoring and the players of both the teams were upset due to the slow pitch. Which is why it remains to be seen how the Powerhitters will play on this pitch tomorrow.
In the match against Bangalore, Mumbai Indians almost snatched the match thanks to the explosive batting and massive partnership of Ishaan Kishan and Pollard, but Bangalore won the toss and elected to bat. Kings XI Punjab, on the other hand, put up a massive 4 against Rajasthan with the help of Mayank Agarwal's century and Rahul's half-century, though they could not maintain it.
Both teams are now hoping for better batting and bowling performances. The Mumbai team has devised a special strategy to control the in-form batsmen of the Kings XI. Two centuries have been scored so far in IPL-2020 and both Punjab batsmen have been scored by Rahul and Agarwal. The bowling department is a cause for concern for Punjab. Tewatia made a sensation by hitting five sixes in an over of his top fast bowler. Against Rajasthan, Shami took 4 wickets and gave away 4 runs. Leg-spinner Bishnoi also gave up 3 runs and could not get a wicket.
Mumbai Indians batting line-up is very strong. All-rounders like Captain Rohit, Suryakumar, Ishaan Kishan as well as Pollard and Hardik Pandya have the ability to break the back of a bowling attack.
However, this season, Mumbai are worried about the ups and downs of their top fast bowler Bumrah. Bumrah has taken just three wickets in three matches so far and his bowling performance has not been as good as before. This is the first match of the Kings XI team in Abu Dhabi. While Mumbai have the experience to play a match here, that too can affect the outcome of the match.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (capt), Aditya Tare, Anmolpreet, Anukul Roy, Chris Lynn, Dhawan Kulkarni, Digvijay Deshmukh, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, James Pattinson, Jaspreet Bumrah, Jayant Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Kirron Pollard Khan, Coulter-Nile, Prince Rai, De Cock, Rahul Chahar, Saurabh Tiwary, Rutherford, Suryakumar Yadav and Trent Bolt.
Kings XI Punjab: Rahul (Captain), Agarwal, Cottrell, Gail, Maxwell, Shami, Mujib, Karrun, Neesham, Puran (VK), Ishaan Poral, Arshdeep, M. Ashwin, Gowtham, Harpreet, Hooda, Jordar, Sarfaraz, Mandeep, Darshan N., Ravi Bishnoi, Simran Singh (VK), J Suchith, Tajinder Singh, Wiljons.
