Both teams have one win each from three matches each in IPL 13.
To do that, both MI and KXIP need to pick the best side possible from amongst the incredible talent they have, and hence, Team COC presents the Predicted Playing XIs for both KXIP and MI for the upcoming match.
IPL 2020: Match 13, KXIP v MI – Fantasy Cricket Tips, Possible Playing XIs, Pitch and Weather
KINGS XI PUNJAB (KXIP)
The KXIP team has tried out a few players in their previous matches in the IPL 2020, but over the past encounter, they have seemed to get the combo right with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal leading from the front. The loss against RR can be put to the fact that in T20 anyone can win despite making any number of runs if the luck belongs to them.
KXIP might not go for any change in the upcoming match against Mumbai Indians, given that they have found a good combination.

Sheldon Cottrell had just a bad over against RR, while Mohammad Shami is dependable as well and the two are quite adept at bowling at the start and in the death as well. However, the trump card for KXIP is the spinners Ravi Bishnoi and M Ashwin, both of whom have bowled amazingly well in tandem with each other during the middle overs.
MUMBAI INDIANS (MI)
Mumbai Indians had a huge heartbreak against RCB in the tied match, which they lost in super over. However, they got a huge positive in the match in form of Ishan Kishan, who smacked a brilliant 99 and thoroughly deserved a century.
Their openers Rohit and De Kock are yet to fire in together, something that is a bit worrying for them, but Suryakumar has backed them up well. The trio of facing the Pandya brothers and Pollard in the death overs is quite intimidating for any bowler.

However, the performance of Jasprit Bumrah has been a concern for MI as he has figures of 3/117 from his full quota of overs in the last three matches and this doesn’t include the super over he bowled against RCB. With Malinga not there, MI has a lot riding on the success of Bumrah and he looks rusty and they need him to get back into top form quickly.
