KXIP vs MI Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2020
Mumbai Indians will look to bounce back from their super-over defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore when they take on Kings XI Punjab in the 2020 Indian Premier League. The match, at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, takes place on October 1 and gets underway at 19:30 local time.
Ishan Kishan hit 99 from 58 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore but fell with two balls to spare as Mumbai hit 201/5 in reply to 201/3. RCB won on the super over, to leave Mumbai with just one win to their name so far in this year’s title defence despite some good batting form.
Kings XI Punjab have also lost on a super over so far in this tournament, but bounced back from that initial loss to Delhi Capitals by thrashing Royal Challengers Bangalore. In-form Mayank Agarwal then plundered 106 from 50 balls against Rajasthan Royals last time out, only for them to fail to defend 223/2 in a four-wicket defeat.

PBKS Team News & Playing 11
KXIP Team News
Sheldon Cottrell’s expensive bowling last time out could mean a return for Chris Jordan, who himself was dropped after leaking runs in the opening game.
KXIP Key Players
- KL Rahul: Hit an unbeaten century when these teams last met and has scored 132* and 69 in his last two innings in IPL 2020.
- Mayank Agarwal: Smashed 106 last time out to follow up scores of 89 and 26 in his two previous innings.
- Mohammed Shami: Expensive last time out but he did claim three wickets and now has seven in three games so far in this year’s tournament.
KXIP Team Form
Mayank Agarwal’s excellent batting has now twice gone unrewarded. He hit 89 from 60 balls to lead a recovery against Delhi Capitals only to fall two balls short and, after the resultant tie, for Kings XI to lose in the super over. KL Rahul starred with the bat in a dominant win against Royal Challengers Bangalore next up, but Agarwal’s century, in a total of 223/2 last time out, could still not prevent a four-wicket loss to Rajasthan Royals.
PBKS Predicted Playing 11
KL Rahul (c, wk), Mayank Argawal, Karun Nair, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, James Neesham, Mandeep Singh, Chris Jordan, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Murugan Ashwin
MI Team News & Playing 11
MI Team News
Kieron Pollard could move up the batting order after some big hitting down the order for Mumbai last time out came just to late to salvage a win. James Pattinson was expensive with the ball and Mumbai must decide whether they can afford to use two of their overseas places on opening bowlers. While they do, it leaves Chris Lynn waiting in the wings.
MI Key Players
- Kieron Pollard: Starred when these teams last met and, after showing some fine form in the Caribbean Premier League, has picked up where he left off this season too.
- Ishan Kishan: Came into the team last time out and nearly made himself a hero straight away when he thumped 99 from 58 balls. He was caught attempting the match-winning six off the penultimate ball.
- Jasprit Bumrah: Unusually expensive in two of the three matches so far, if he can get back to his best then so will Mumbai.
MI Team Form
Mumbai have won just once so far, with that victory bookended by an opening defeat to Chennai Super Kings and the super-over loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore last time out. The one win was an eye-catching one though, as Rohit Sharma hut 80 in a 49-run victory against Kolkata Knight Riders.
MI Predicted Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, James Pattinson
PBKS vs MI Head to Head
Kings XI Punjab beat Mumbai Indians for the 11th time last season, but Mumbai bounced back with a thrilling win in their most recent meeting to take their record to 13 victories in this fixture.

Kieron Pollard’s phenomenal 83 from 31 balls made the difference, despite Mohammed Shami taking 3-21.
