Mumbai Indians have played like the best team of IPL 2020 thus far in the UAE. They have registered brilliant performances in their last five encounters, resulting in as many victories. Various players have won them different games, which is always a tremendous sign for any franchise.

Also, they have made the least changes in their playing XI over the eight matches. Nathan Coulter-Nile played the last game but had a below-average outing. As a result, James Pattinson might make a comeback in the side.

KXIP skipper KL Rahul

The performance of Kings XI Punjab has been exactly opposite to that of the Mumbai-based franchise. They have managed to register just two wins in their eight clashes thus far in IPL 2020. But KL Rahul and co. witnessed a nail-biting victory in their last encounter against Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

After finally crossing the winning line, KXIP will have some momentum in their dugout while coming to this match. Moreover, Chris Gayle’s performance in the last game will give them even more confidence against the MI Paltan.
