By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians match. We are covering KXIP vs MI Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.

After a good start to the season, Kings XI Punjab lost their second match to Kolkata Knight Riders by 28 runs due to the brilliance of Andre Russell. Bowling first, Punjab failed to restrict Kolkata leading to a target of 218 runs. All bowlers failed to give any threat to the opponent. Chasing the target, Mayank Agarwal and David Miller played good knocks of 58 and 59* respectively but were left behind by 28 runs. Mandeep Singh also played his role of a finisher to perfection scoring 33* runs in 15 balls in losing cause for his team. Punjab will play their first home ground match tomorrow and will be determined to put a good show against mighty Mumbai Indians.

Mumbai Indians defeated RCB in their second encounter to open their account in IPL’19. Batting first, Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav played handy knocks of 48 and 38 respectively and were supported by a whirlwind cameo of 32* runs in 14 balls by Hardik Pandya to lead the team to a total of 187. Defending the target, Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is No.1 T20I bowler taking three wicket-haul to ensure the first victory for his team. Mumbai Indians will be determined to continue the momentum and will expect a similar unison effort from all players against Kings XI Punjab.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
