The Punjab side would be more battle weary than the well-rested home team going into tomorrow's clash, but do have the wherewithal to put aside their opening match blues and put it across MI after two straight losses at this venue. KXIP had beaten MI by 6 wickets in 2012 at Wankhede, but suffered back-to-back losses in 2013 (4 runs) and last year (5 wickets), and thus have a chance to come out trumps again on a track which is expected to offer bounce and some turn.
In their opening games, both the teams recovered from poor starts and would be hoping for some stability at the top-order tomorrow. Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma, who has all the strokes in the book, made a superb 98 not out off just 65 balls against KKR at the Eden Gardens and had a splendid support from growing-in-stature New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson (55 not out in 41 balls) that bailed out MI from a poor 37 for 3. The home team would expect the likes of Aaron Finch, Aditya Tare and Ambati Rayudu to contribute more tomorrow than what they did in Kolkata.

Mumbai Indians (MI) will face off against Kings XI Punjab
(KXIP) in the seventh match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 at
Mumbai on Sunday. Both teams are playing their second match, with MI
having lost their opening game to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and KXIP going down to Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Mumbai will be disappointed at their loss, given that the batsmen —
led by Rohit Sharma and backed up by Corey Anderson — managed to put up a
decent total. They will be concerned at their bowlers’ inability to
make frequent or telling breakthroughs. Harbhajan Singh was a far cry
from his usual canny self, while Pragyan Ojha was largely ineffective.
Vinay Kumar and Lasith Malinga bowled reasonably well, but even they
were unable to keep the runs down at the death.
