MI go unchanged

October 01, 2020 19:10

Kings XI Punjab have won the toss and elected to bowl in their IPL match against Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.

K Gowtham comes in place of M Ashwin as Punjab make one change while Mumbai go unchanged.

Coming off heartbreaking losses it will be a test of character for both teams as they look to get back to winning ways.

While skipper KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal have made inspiring starts this season, they were at the receiving end of the highest successful run-chase in the tournament history as Rajasthan Royals overhauled a target of 224 with three balls to spare on Sunday.

Kings XI have failed to tighten the screws when it mattered most. In their two losses, they were in a good position but could not grab the moments.

Mumbai Indians are blessed with a splendid batting firepower with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan at the top-order, followed by the big-hitting Pollard and Hardik Pandya.

Mumbai, though, will have the slight advantage having played a game in Abu Dhabi before.
