Indore: On a roll with four consecutive victories, two-time champions Mumbai Indians would look to continue the winning streak when they take on Kings XI Punjab in an Indian Premier League match, here on Thursday.
Having won four out of the five matches they played so far, Mumbai Indians are placed second with eight points and would certainly start as favourites against Kings XI Punjab, who have managed to win just two of their five games. Even though Mumbai’s top order is yet to click, the middle and lower order have more than made up for the poor starts.
Skipper Rohit Sharma, who did not have an ideal start to the tournament, made a strong comeback against Gujarat Lions with an unbeaten 40 off 29 deliveries, while Pollard continued his fine run, scoring a quickfire 23-ball 39. Young Nitish Rana from Delhi too has been a consistent contributer for Mumbai this season.
