IPL 2020 Match 13 - KXIP vs MI Fantasy Preview

October is upon us and the first game of the month in IPL 2020 is Match 13 where Kings XI Punjab is in action, currently in the second half of the points table with 1 win in 3 games, though they’ve managed to let two extremely narrow games go through their fingers, including being unable to defend a 220+ score in the last game against Rajasthan, which would’ve crushed their confidence.

They’ve got a strong batting lineup and they go up against Mumbai Indians today, they latter also having 1 win in 3 games in IPL 2020. Mumbai lost their last game to RCB in a super over and regardless of the strength of these two teams, we think it’s the toss that will matter the most, with no one winning the toss going on to win the game!

Numbers

In 12 matches so far this season, 9 were won batting first.
Last 5 IPL games head to head, Mumbai leads 3-2.
KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal – 222 and 221 runs respectively so far.

Kings XI Punjab

This Abu Dhabi pitch is the slowest among the three IPL 2020 venues and thus, we don’t want the heavy sloggers but the smart batsmen who can settle in and play the long innings. One such player is Mayank Agarwal who shifted gears perfectly in the first game and has 2 fifties in 3 games this season already. His opening partner and captain KL Rahul is also right up there in terms of runs, currently the tournament leader!

Now while those are the popular picks, let’s look at some KXIP vs MI Dream11 picks that can win you the big bucks. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has only 4 wickets in 3 games but he can be a real match winner on his day, with 17 scalps in 6 games at the U-19 World Cup earlier this year. I’m not big fan of Murugan Ashwin but he has 4 wickets in his 2 games and I’m picking him because of the slow nature of this pitch!

Mumbai Indians

While the Pandya brothers have been the hype all through the last few years, the two of them together have only 51 runs in 3 games each, while Krunal has 1 wicket and Hardik hasn’t bowled, so I’m leaving them both out. Kieron Pollard is also playing as a specialist batsman but he can’t be dropped seeing the way he changed the game against RCB, also doing something similar at CPL 2020 last month.

Trent Boult is their leader with the ball with 5 scalps but I’d like to have Rahul Chahar in my team instead as a specialist bowler, who has 4 wickets so far. Nathan Coulter-Nile is yet to be cleared as 100% fit for this game but wait for the toss and if he’s in, pick him in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team ahead of James Pattinson, who has only 3 scalps in 3 games in IPL 2020 so far!
