SERIES: Dream11 IPL, 2020 (KXIP VS MI)
VENUE: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

KXIP VS MI Preview:
Two of the greatest teams will be combating in the 13th match of the Dream11 IPL 2020. The Kings have surprised all other teams by their consistency in scoring huge totals. At the same time we have the Mumbai Indians, which lost its previous game in a super over, which displayed its talent by the youngsters that it had on the other hand. Now moving forward, we see that the Kings XI Punjab are at the 4th position having won only one out of their three games played. The Mumbai Indians too have managed to win only one out of their three, having secured 2 points and they occupy the 5th spot on the table. It will be quite interesting to find out which team can cross the border on to the top four teams.
Pitch Report:
The Sheikh Zayed Stadium has hosted 45 T20I matches in the last ten years, where the highest team total has been 225/7. The pitch has been good for batsmen, but the spin bowlers often trouble them on this ground. The average run rate in T20I games played in Abu Dhabi is 7, which shows that anything above 140 will be a par score. The surfaces at the UAE are all slowish and hence make it very difficult for the batsmen to hit the biggies.

KXIP VS MI SUPER 9:
Top Picks:
- Rohit Sharma
Number one stands our MI captain Rohit Sharma. The right handed batsmen has not had a great season so far where he only shined in one game out of the three. The vintage Rohit will be looking to strike well in this match against the Kings. He would also be the top picked player in Dream11.
2. Jasprit Bumrah
On number two we have the god of death overs, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah too hasn’t had a great season as compared to his previous bowling figures, but has turned out to be economical with the ball. His last game against RCB will teach him a lot more to improvise in this game.
3. Glenn Maxwell
On number three stands the tall man Glenn Maxwell. Maxwell has got very few opportunities to bat for his team, as the entire job is carried over by the openers itself. Maxwell has hit the ball well until now, of the very few chances that he has got. He has been handed over the ball in the bowling section as well, and has never failed to impress there too.
Captain Choices:
- KL Rahul
In this section the top choice would be the Kings XI skipper KL Rahul. The present captain recently created a record breaking innings of 132 against RCB, making him the highest individual run scorer among Indians. The other two match that he played also averages more than 50, making him the owner of the orange cap.
2. Mayank Agarwal
On number two stands the opener and Karnataka player Mayank Agarwal. The right handed batsmen proved his credits in his very first match when he brought his team to inch the taste of victory by his 90. He is also the first centurion of the IPL 2020. Therefore he is player to watch out for amongst the flocks.
3. Quinton De Kock:
Last but not the least is our MI’s very own wicket keeper left handed opening batsmen Quinton De Kock. He has played a decent innings so far in the tournament and has given a good start for his team. He needs fancy his chances and utilize it wisely on the upcoming games.
Budget Picks:
- Ishan Kishan
On top stands our MI’s overnight star, who won the hearts of many, even after being on the loosing side. Ishan Kishan (8.5 credits) played a beautiful innings against the RCB scoring 99 of just 58 deliveries. Although he had managed to bring his team to the finishing line, destiny had something else written on that particular day.
2. Ravi Bishnoi
On number two we have the spin bowler Ravi Bishnoi (8 credits). The 19 year old youngster has managed to take 4 wickets out of the 3 matches played with a best bowling figures of 3/32. This emerging player will surely look to grab the eyes of many unless he stops bowling a lot of wide deliveries.
3. Surya Kumar Yadav
On number three, we have our youngster Suryakumar (8.5 credits) who is an emerging player and is very reasonable in the DREAM11 as well. We can place him in our fantasy team in almost all the matches as he has great potential. He played extremely well against the Knight Riders and will look to entertain us in this encounter against the Mumbai Indians.
