Cricket News: IPL 2020 - Punjab to face Mumbai in Abu Dhabi

Punjab will lock horns against defending champions Mumbai at the Sheikh Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi. Both teams have won one and lost two out of 3 matches. KL Rahul led Punjab team failed to defend a massive target of 224. Mayank Agarwal has been their top performer with the bat and skipper KL Rahul too has been in top form. Punjab's spearhead Mohammed Shami was taken to the cleaners. Except for leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, Punjab bowlers had a poor outing against Rajasthan. Punjab is likely going to replace Sheldon Cottrell in the bowling attack after the Caribbean medium-pacer emerged as the most-expensive bowler against Rajasthan. Four-time champions Mumbai lost their previous nail-biting encounter against Bangalore in super over. Mumbai's batting looks strong with Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishen and Kieron Pollard in terrific form. In bowling, Jasprit Bumrah will be supported by Trent Boult, James Pattinson, Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard while the spin workload will be shared by Rahul Chahar and Krunal Pandya.
