The Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday will play host to a must-win encounter between the Mumbai Indians and the Kings XI Punjab in the eleventh edition of the Indian Premier League.

Both teams come into the game on the back of defeats, but it won’t be difficult to say which of the two sides would feel more demotivated at present. R Ashwin’s outfit, touted by many only a week ago to breeze into the Playoffs, right now find themselves in a desperate change in tide after suffering a 10-wicket mauling at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday.
