Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab
Game analysis and Post match thoughts
Location: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
KL Rahul Rohit Sharma
Match 13 of Dream 11 IPL 2020 was played between the Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab in Abu Dhabi on the 1st of October. The Kings XI have been looking very promising this year with some great performances notably against the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals where they were robbed of a victory in both games in my opinion. Mumbai on the other hand started off poorly against CSK, got back to winning ways vs KKR and almost won but then lost to RCB in the super over. It has been a roller coaster ride for the two teams ever since the tournament started. Let’s get into the game!

Kings XI Punjab won the toss with skipper KL Rahul opting to bowl first. Yet another toss lost for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai’s batting started poorly after Quinton de Kock got out by Sheldon Cottrell who conducted his unique salute celebration. Suryakumar Yadav was next to bat and got off to a good start with the bat but unfortunately got run out by Mohamed Shami. Ishan Kishan the star of the show vs RCB came out to bat with his captain and gave Rohit Sharma strike the majority of the time but did hit a six and a couple of fours but it was not quite his day this time as he got out to a catch near the boundary. Pollard then came to the crease to put runs on the board with his skipper and in that process Rohit Sharma reach a half century, his second of the season showing he was in form. He hit a few more boundaries and sixes after his 50 but soon got out after a brilliant boundary line link up catch between Glenn Maxwell and Jimmy Neesham which was so so unlucky for Rohit but we have to give credit to Maxwell for his awareness and brilliant fielding. Hardik Pandya and Pollard did what they do best in the last three overs hitting 52 runs and securing a total of 191 runs for the Mumbai Indians with the last over being the most entertaining where 4 sixes were hit! Kings XI Punjab needed to have a good opening partnership if they wanted to get the 2 points (win the game) and they do have the opening pair to do just that consisting of skipper KL Rahul and his fellow Indian teammate Mayank Agarwal. Both hammered Trent Boult and James Pattinson in the first few overs but struggled once Krunal Pandya was introduced to the attack. Overall Punjab got off to a decent start but that was cancelled out by a classic Jasprit Bumrah yorker. Karun Nair came next but was only dismissed by Krunal Pandya after he played the ball on to the stumps which was quite unfortunate. Nicholas Pooran came next and hit one of Krunal’s deliveries out of the stadium. That hit probably sent the ball straight to the highway. Pooran got going hitting some beautiful shots while his captain on the other hand for the first time this season, was struggling. KL Rahul’s innings eventually came to an end after a superb Rahul Chahar googly went straight to the stumps as the Punjab skipper attempted to sweep. Next came Glenn Maxwell who also never really got going and Pooran’s game also started slowing down a bit. Pooran would eventually be dismissed a few runs before getting a half century by James Pattinson where the ball edged his bat and went straight to de Kock. It was now all up to Maxwell as all of the Kings XI batsmen were dismissed and only a couple of tail-enders left to come. Unfortunately for the Kings XI, he was dismissed by Rahul Chahar after mis-timing a shot which went straight to Trent Boult who doesn't drop too many catches. Jimmy Neesham soon followed after a high full toss by Jasprit Bumrah which went straight to Suryakumar Yadav. A couple of wickets soon followed and that was the end of the match. The final score for the Kings XI Punjab was 143 for 8 wickets giving the Mumbai Indians a victory by 48 runs and firing them to the top of the table.
Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard
The game was great for Mumbai Indians, not too great for KXIP who have got to up their game if they want to qualify for the knockout stages. The game was decent, more fun when Mumbai was batting and a bit less fun when Punjab was batting. Some of my favourite moments in the game were Maxwell’s and Neesham’s catch, Pollard and Hardik last 3 over spell, Rohit Sharma getting another half century and Rahul Chahar’s wickets. Going forward both teams certainly have to improve but I think Mumbai Indians will have a better chance of finishing in the top 4 this season as compared to KXIP. We have got the Sun Risers Hyderabad game on October 4th in Sharjah, UAE. Let’s go for the win in that game and take advantage of the current form that SRH are in.
Did Kings 11 Punjab miss a trick by releasing Andrew Tye. Andrew was a brilliant in 2018, he went on to win the Purple Cap for the 2018 IPL season for taking the most wickets (24) during the season. Can Rajasthan make use of the experienced campaigner from down under. #Wrong1 #Kings11Punjab #AndrewTye #TyeKXIP #MIvKXIP #KXIP (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFz1mCJHl7Z/?igshid=p5pah5i5uy1n
