IPL 2019, MI vs KXIP preview: Mumbai Indians need Rohit, de Kock to fire

KXIP come to the match with three consecutive wins in their home ground, while Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous encounter. Mumbai Indians’ pacer Joseph Alazzari took six for 12--the best bowling figure in IPL history. Rohit Sharma will look to lead by example at the top of the batting order along with Quinton de Kock after failing to put on a quality show so far. While KXIP are placed at the third spot in IPL points table 2019 with four wins from six games, MI are fifth with three wins from five games. With the league closing in on the middle stage, each team will now look to grab the advantage and surge forward.
Mumbai Indians team news: The main concern for Mumbai Indians are form of their batters at the top as they don’t have anyone in the top-20 run-scorers' list in IPL 2019. However, they have a superior fast bowling attack bolstered by the inclusion of West Indian pacer, Alzarri Joseph, who blew away Sunrisers with his record-breaking haul of 6/12 in Hyderabad. Mumbai Indians have a formidable pace attack with Jasprit Bumrah and left-arm Jason Behrendorff also there, along Hardik, to utilise the bounce and carry on the Wankhede track.
