In a most dramatic contest, comprising two Super Over deciders, Kings XI Punjab held their nerve to eke out a heart-stopping win over reigning champions Mumbai Indians to most deservingly win two points and stay in the race for the IPL playoffs. After the scores were levelled at the end of the regulation two innings of 20 overs each, the contest slipped into a Super Over. However, this decider, too, ended in a tie, and it took another Super Over decider the winner. The second time around, ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle effectively sealed the win with the first-ball six. The hero of the thriller at Dubai International Cricket Stadium was KXIP captain-cum-wicket-keeper-cum-batsman KL Rahul, who was adjudged the Man of the Match, not just for his 51-ball 77, but perhaps also for his effective captaincy. (SCORECARD)
They have been in rampaging form with five straight wins but Mumbai Indians can ill afford to be complacent against a Chris Gayle-inspired Kings XI Punjab side in their IPL game in Dubai, UAE on Sunday. A win for Mumbai Indians will virtually seal them a spot in the playoffs while a loss for KXIP could send them out of contention. Mumbai Indians have steamrolled opposition teams with an explosive batting line-up complemented by a lethal bowling attack and the latest side to bear their brunt were the Kolkata Knight Riders who suffered an eight-wicket defeat on Friday.
MATCH HIGHLIGHTS IPL 2020, KXIP (176/6) Beat MI (176/6) in Dubai
Tabble-toppers MI boast of top batsmen such as captain Rohit Sharma – 251 runs and his opening partner Quinton de Kock – 269 runs and both are in good touch, while the middle-order is manned by the likes of Suryakumar Yadav – 243 runs and Ishan Kishan – 186 runs. In the bowling front, pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have formed the most successful pair this IPL with 12 wickets apiece from eight matches so far. Spinner Rahul Chahar chipped in against KKR with two wickets for 18 runs.
On the other hand, KXIP are languishing at the bottom of the table despite having the top-two leading run-getters of the tournament in skipper KL Rahul – 387 runs at a strike rate of 134.84 and his opening partner, Mayank Agarwal – 337 runs. KXIP’s problem has been that their batting and bowling have not fired in unison on most occasions even though their confidence has been boosted by the return of Gayle.
