The third umpire took ages to decide whether there was an edge in it or not and when he finally did conclude that there was nothing, the ball tracking showed the ball had pitched outside leg. So the decision stays and Nicholas Pooran survives,.That was mighty close on the naked eye.

OUR TAKE: Who will win between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians?

Karan Prashant Saxena: I think this match is quite evenly balanced as Kings XI Punjab have a great batting line-up, while Mumbai Indians have a great bowling line-up. Abu Dhabi is a slow, treacherous, large ground. The batsmen need to settle in and take their time to get going. I think this match is tilted in Mumbai’s favour, as they have one of the best bowling units in IPL 2020. Jasprit Bumrah, James Pattinson, Trent Boult and add spinners Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar - I like KL Rahul, but I think KXIP will struggle today.

Aritra Mukherjee: This will be a great contest. I’m personally very excited to see KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal face Trent Boult, James Pattinson and Jasprit Bumrah. As far as picking a side for today, I’d go with MI because they are not depended on any 2-3 players, unlike KXIP. I actually want to see how the KXIP middle order react if Rahul and Mayank don’t get them off to a flier.

The Abu Dhabi stadium is quite larger as compared to the ones at Sharjah and Dubai - and hence the spinners will be playing a crucial role for both the teams.

Mumbai Indians bowling coach Shane Bond spoek before the match: “KL Rahul, he’s got runs against us in the last few games as well...We know he’s a dynamic player, scores all around the field. We also know that he takes his time generally through the middle overs, so that’s perhaps an opportunity - if he gets that far - to create some pressure on him and the batsmen in and around him. But we will have specific ideas of how we’re going to get him out. In the end, we just can’t allow him to score in areas where he’s very strong. He scores well over extra cover, the pick-up over fine leg.” - MI bowling coach Shane Bond
