KXIP will host to Mumbai Indians in their 3 match of the season at Punjab Cricket Association stadium. MI won last match against RCB .
Venue/Pitch:
IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali
KXIP won all three of their home games in Mohali last year before moving onto Indore and losing steam, so much so that they plummeted from the top of the table to finish second-last. Their success revolved around KL Rahul and Chris Gayle’s blitzkrieg at the top, and a burgeoning spin attack, led by Ashwin himself, which mined gold with mystery spin on a big ground with even bigger square boundaries.
Average first-innings score: 152 (Last 5 D/N T20 matches)
Record of chasing teams: Won 4, Lost 1
Mujjeb has good record on this ground,he should play today in match.
