It had been an eventful start for Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2020. The KXIP's first match ended in a Super Over, their captain broke the century record for an IPL skipper in the second game, and the third match saw RR breaking the record for a highest run-chase against the side. KXIP have been impressive in all the three matches but more often than not, the result hasn't gone their way.

Mumbai Indians, meanwhile, will take on the KXIP after a heartbreaking Super Over defeat to Royal Challengers Bangalore. The MI faced an opening defeat to Chennai Super Kings before beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs in a confidence-boosting win. Even as Kieron Pollard and Ishan Kishan led a remarkable fight in their last match in the 202-run chase, RCB triumphed in the Super Over.
Similarly, after losing to Delhi Capitals in their opener, KXIP came back strongly to register their first points by defeating RCB. But, despite a fabulous batting display, they lost to Rajasthan.

KXIP have failed to tighten the screws when it mattered most. In their two losses, they were in a good position but could not grab the moment.
