Crucial match between MI and Kings XI tomorrow

Mumbai Indians and Kings XI PunjabCENTURION: The match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab is going to be held tomorrow. This is a crucial match for both the teams as each one wanted to win it to ease ones's path to semi-finals. In the points table both are looking similar. Mumbai Indians has managed 09 points while Kings XI has got 10 out of 10 matches each. However, as far as run rate is concerned, it is not very much different.

Sachin Tendulkar's men endured a three-match losing streak before finally managing a win against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday night. Punjab's team looking more balanced now after Australian pacer Brett Lee, who impressed with both bat and ball in the nail-biting win over Deccan Chargers in his first IPL match this season, joined the side. Among the batsmen, Mahela Jayawardene scored a fifty against Deccan and will have to play a key role in the middle order. Kumar Sangakkara and skipper Yuvraj Singh have been in good touch and it would be quite a task for the Mumbai bowlers to contain them if they get going.
