Hosts
Mumbai Indians will fancy beating a floundering
Kings XI Punjab
when both sides face-off in a must-win match today.
After a string of losses initially, Mumbai's hopes of making it to the last four were revived after three straight wins, but their eight-wicket defeat against
Rajasthan Royals on Sunday has again put them on the back foot.
While Mumbai are in sixth position with five wins from 12 games, a stuttering KXIP - have slumped to the fifth spot with 12 points having suffered their fourth defeat on Monday in five games.
Mumbai, with an excellent net run-rate, need to put behind the humiliation by the Royals and come out with all guns blazing against an equally jittery KXIP, who have lost their way in the second half of the tournament after starting strongly.
Here are the details of when, where and how you can follow all the action from the
IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab to be played today at the
Wankhede stadium
in Mumbai.
