Table toppers Kings XI Punjab are already guaranteed a playoff place, having won nine of their 11 Indian Premier League games this season.
Mumbai were the first team to defeat the powerful Mohali side in IPL 7, back on May 5, when Kieron Pollard stuck a match-winning six to complete an impressive chase of 169.
Pollard was again the star of the show in Mumbai’s last match, using athleticism, awareness and juggling skills to dismiss fellow West Indian Kevon Cooper with one of the greatest catches of all time.
That catch helped Mumbai to a 25-run victory over Rajasthan Royals on Monday, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive, albeit only just.
Kings XI were also in action on Monday, chasing down 165 to overcome Delhi Daredevils by four wickets with two balls to spare.
Mumbai must win all three of their remaining games to have any chance of finishing in the top four.
They will again be without specialist death bowler Lasith Malinga, who is on international duty and produced figures of 4-0-28-3 as Sri Lanka beat England by nine runs in last night’s T20I in London.
Prediction: Mumbai’s top order fired in their last outing, but they have been far from reliable for most of this season. I firmly expect Kings XI to win, scoring a boat load of runs in the process.
