Punjab hope for massive turn of fortunes
Kings XI Punjab have had theost disastrous IPL season one can imagine.

They have a massive task at hand against Mumbai on Sunday where their odds of a win stand at 2.35
After a formidable season so far, Mumbai Indians are at the top of the points table and ready to make this season their own. They have had some extraordinary performances from their individual players across disciplines and are in line to grab another win against KXIP with their odds at 1.55
Overall record in favour of Mumbai Indians
Despite the contradictory records of the two teams in the last few years in the IPL, the overall head-to-head record of Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians aren’t that different. Punjab have won 11 matches as against Mumbai’s 14 in IPL history. Since 2018, it is 4-1 in favour of Mumbai.
RECOMMENDED BET: MI have the strongest side in the tournament as their record this season shows and they have odds of 1.55 to win.

Keep an eye on…
Mumbai pacers: Mumbai attack early with the ball as evident from the statistic that says that their bowling strike-rate and average is the best among all eight teams inside the powerplay. From Trent Boult to Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jasprit Bumrah, MI have a strong pace attack.
KL Rahul: The orange cap holder this season, KL Rahul has played quite a few good knocks but hasn’t really been able to finish off matches. The Punjab skipper appears self-restraint and will possibly need to free himself up a bit to perform at his best.
TIPS: Mumbai Indians have lots of big hitters and have better odds of 2.00 to hit more sixes
