The two in-form sides, Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab, square off in an IPL 2019 tie on Wednesday. Like the previous edition of the Indian Premier League, Mumbai Indians have started inconsistently again this year. After losing two games out of the first three, MI have pulled themselves up and have recorded two back-to-back wins.
Meanwhile, Kings XI Punjab treaded with great caution in their last game to get back on winning ways. Punjab, barring a few concerns, have done well in the competition to emerge playoff contenders. KXIP have won four of the six games they have been involved in thus far.

This MI vs KXIP Dream11 Grand League prediction is high-risk but may you reap rewards if some assumptions come off.
Team 1, 2, 3, 4: Less preferred captain/vice-captain choices
– The likes of Kieron Pollard, Ishan Kishan, Sarfaraz Khan and Krunal Pandya are not the preferred choices for captaincy but can raise their game.
– Stats that matter you can get lucky choosing the vice-captain among KL Rahul who has a liking for MI’s bowling (last five scores – 71, 94, 24, 68,23) or Chris Gayle who can tee off with MI lacking a quality spinner in their line-up.
Team 5, 6: Complete control from either side
– In anticipation of one-way traffic, we are making two teams with 7:4 player ratio.
