Mumbai keen for victory against Punjab after opening loss

April 12, 2015 19:15

Welcome to the coverage of the seventh match of the eighth edition of the Indian Premier League played between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab at the Wankhede stadium, in Mumbai, on Sunday.

Both teams lost their opening matches of the tournament and would be keen to register a victory.

Mumbai went down to champions Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets, while Punjab were beaten by 26 by Rajasthan Royals.

Punjab had beaten Mumbai by six wickets in 2012 at Wankhede, but suffered back-to-back losses in 2013 (four runs) and last year (five wickets), and thus have a chance to come out trumps again on a track which is expected to offer bounce and some turn.
