THE PREDICTION
A fascinating encounter awaits in Dubai as the in-form Mumbai Indians face off against a desperate Kings XI side who need to put a run of wins together now. Mumbai have won their last five matches in a row and they are benefitting from good continuity in their side having only used 13 players after they brought Nathan Coulter Nile in last time out. They are high in confidence and the overall quality of all facets of their game is excellent right now. They face off against Kings XI whose IPL experience has been a stark contrast. They have used 20 players, too many of their players are far from their best, and they are finding ways to lose matches rather than win. They did win last time out against Royal Challengers Bangalore and that match saw the inclusion of The Universe Boss Chris Gayle come into the side and hit a fifty. This will be a completely different proposition though against the Mumbai bowling attack and with the Indians batting line-up looking stronger by the game, it is hard to see anything other than this game going with form. Expect Mumbai to pick up another comfortable victory.
