Mumbai Indians lead the Head-to-Head race against Kings XI Punjab by a slight margin of 13-11.
Match Details:
The 13th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
This game is scheduled to start at 07:30 PM IST (06:00 PM local time) (02:00 PM UTC). The game will be broadcast on television on the Star Sports Network (available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Bengali). Additionally, the live stream will be available on Disney + Hotstar.
Advance:
The Kings XI Punjab will return to the field once again during IPL 2020, this time to face the Mumbai Indians. In three games so far, the Kings have lost two and have blamed themselves for the loss to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Sharjah. They would move to another new tournament venue for this match, while the Mumbai Indians have already played a couple of matches in Abu Dhabi.
Rohit Sharma and his men also don't have the winning momentum on their side as they prepare for this game. They did everything they could against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), but couldn't deliver in the super. Therefore, both parties will be eager to get back on the winning track. It will be a wonderful redemption opportunity for both of them and they are expected to compete hard.

Field Condition / Report:
