Match Details:

The 13th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will be played between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians at the 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 telecasted on the Star Sports Network (Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Bengali). Also, live streaming will be available on Disney+ Hotstar.

Preview:

The Kings XI Punjab will be back on the field once again during the IPL 2020, this time, to take on the Mumbai Indians. In three games thus far, the Kings lost two and have got themselves to blame for the loss against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Sharjah. They would be moving to another new venue in the tournament for this match while the Mumbai Indians already played a couple of games in Abu Dhabi.

Rohit Sharma and his men also do not have the winning momentum on their side as they gear up for this game. They did everything they possibly could against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) but failed to deliver in the super over. Thus, both these sides will be eager to get back to the winning ways. It is going to be a wonderful chance at redemption for both of them and they are expected to compete hard.

KXIP vs MI Weather Report for Match 13:

The temperature will be around 34 degrees Celsius at the start time of this game and will go down slightly as the evening progresses. While there is no chance of precipitation, the humidity levels will be high.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The track at Abu Dhabi has enough on offer for both the batsmen and the bowlers. With long boundaries, the teams should focus more on twos and threes. From what Shreyas Iyer said after the last game, the pitch was two-paced in the second half with the odd-ball holding up.

Average first innings score:

165 (At this venue thus far in the tournament)
