IPL 2020: MI VS KXIP, MATCH 36, PREDICTED PLAYING XI AND ANALYSIS

MI: Predicted playing XI: Rohit Sharma, Quinton De Kock, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah, Rahul Chahar, James Pattinson,

KXIP: Predicted playing XI: KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Chris Gayle, Sarfaraz Khan, James Neesham, Murugan Ashwin, Sheldon Cottrell, Mohammad Shami, Ravi Bishnoi

Venue: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

Toss: 7:00 pm (IST)

Match: 7:30 pm (IST)

Analysis: In MI, the opening pair’s consistency (Sharma and De Kock) can be well stabilized as it is known for the years-old consistency. Ishan Kishan, who played selflessly, can be the match-winning factor for the team. The middle-over batsman, Hardik Pandya, always reminds of the aggressive knock he played against Pakistan in the CT17. Moreover, who can forget the sixes by Pollard for Zalmi in PSL’s last season? They have the perfect batting line-up and the likes of bowlers such as Trent Boult, toe-crusher Bumrah, Chahar, and Pattinson can be troubling for their opponents.

KXIP’s skipper, KL Rahul is not lesser than anyone as his run-scoring tricks are not hidden. Further players, Mayank Agarwal on top-order and Maxwell, Pooran, and Nair can be the treasures in mid-overs. Their bowlers, Neesham, especially Shami, Cotrell can be the spoiling duo for the rivals.
