Mumbai Indians scored a convincing 48-run victory over Kings XI Punjab in Dream 11 IPL’s Match 13 at Abu Dhabi. With this, Mumbai has bounced back to head the points table.
After being sent in to bat first, MI posted 191 for 4. In reply, KXIP could score only 143 for the loss of 8 wickets.
Kings XI Punjab, playing for the first time in Abu Dhabi, had won the toss and captain K.L. Rahul opted to bowl.
