Both teams hoping to get back to winning ways
Punjab will be up against Mumbai in Match 13 of the Dream11 IPL 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Thursday. Both sides will be heading into Thursday's contest after having lost their respective encounters. The 2014 finalists were comprehensively outplayed by Rajasthan on Sunday night where they chased down a mammoth target of 224 and ended up registering the highest successful run-chase in the tournament's history. The defending champions, on the other hand, went down to Bangalore in a high-voltage Super Over on Monday.
Therefore, both teams will be looking to rediscover their rhythm and get back to winning ways by adding those two precious points in their tally.
Head-to-head record
According to the Punjab vs Mumbai head to head record, the two teams have competed with each other on 24 occasions. It is Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians who slightly edge KL Rahul's Punjab,13-11. During the last edition of the cash-rich league, both teams managed to defeat each other once. While Punjab won their home game by eight wickets, Mumbai won the reverse fixture by three wickets.
The two sides didn't meet each other during the initial phase of the 2014 season, which was conducted partly in the UAE. This is the first time that Punjab will take on Mumbai in the country. As far as Thursday's fixture is concerned, both the teams will leave no stone unturned to secure a win as a victory in this fixture will catapult them to the top of the table.
Players to watch out for
According to the Punjab vs Mumbai head to head record, KL Rahul has 486 runs to his name against Mumbai. It gets even better as his average against them is a whopping 69.4 and his strike rate is above 130. On the other hand, for Mumbai, it is skipper Rohit Sharma who leads the top-scorers charts against Punjab with 590 runs. Rohit Sharma has also scored five fifties against KL Rahul's men.
KL has been in sensational form in the Dream11 IPL 2020, having already scored one century and one fifty. The Karnataka batsman's form will be key for the Punjab franchise in Thursday's fixture against Mumbai. Rohit Sharma, who played a match-winning knock in their second match against Kolkata, failed to perform in the rest of the games. The 'Hitman' has a great chance to get some runs under his belt against an opponent, who he has performed brilliantly against in the past.
As far as bowlers from the current squads are concerned, Murugan Ashwin, Hardus Viljoen, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are the leading wicket-takers for Punjab against Mumbai with 2 scalps to their names. On the other hand, for Mumbai, it is Jasprit Bumrah who has bagged the most number of wickets against Punjab with the right-arm pacer accounting for 12 wickets. The Punjab vs Mumbai live game has some prominent T20 hitters, which is why a high-scoring game is on the cards.
