MI vs KXIP Dream11 Grand League Team, Team News: IPL 2019

It’s time for Kings XI Punjab’s first home game where they will face the three-time champions Mumbai Indians in a bid to secure their second win of the season. Although having won the first game against Rajasthan Royals by 14 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the Kings XI Punjab have looked a bit rusty in their approach which they would want to rectify here in their own den.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians are coming into this contest after pipping Royal Challengers Bangalore in a mouthwatering contest by 6 runs amidst a last ball no-ball drama. This was their first win of the season after they got tamed at their home in their tournament opener against Delhi Capitals by 37 runs.

Kings XI Punjab’s second outing came against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden where they made as many as 4 changes in the setup which definitely fired them back. Too many experimentations hindered their run and were taken down by 28 runs while chasing a score in excess of 200.

Head-to-Head

If we look at the head-to-head battles between these two sides, Mumbai Indians have had the better of Kings XI Punjab as they have won 12 games from 22 encounters while Kings XI Punjab has got 10 wins to their name. The stats favour MI in PCA Stadium as well as they have won 4 out of 7 games and lost only 3.

The last battle between these two sides took place at the Wankhede Stadium where Mumbai Indians escaped with a 2 wicket win over Kings XI Punjab.

Here in this article, we have come up with some Grand League Teams depending on the current scenarios and match situations to help you win big with minimal investments.

Pitch report:

The PCA Stadium in Mohali is one of the fastest tracks in India. Pacers do enjoy bowling on this surface as they get ample bounce from the wicket. The stroke makers do make merry of the surface as the ball comes onto the bat quite nicely.

Team news

• Mumbai Indians finally get going in the last game, therefore, changes in their eleven seem quite reluctant.
• Kings XI Punjab’s ploy of 4 changes in the last game did not pay any dividends.
• They can bring in Mujeeb in their eleven after their bowlers took some toiling last time around.
• David Miller, Chris Gayle and Andrew Tye are the three overseas who are unlikely to be benched.
• Varun Chakravarthi might make way for Ankit Rajpoot who looked decent in the opening game against Rajasthan Royals.
