MI vs KKR Match Prediction: On Monday, the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will square off at Mumbai’s renowned Wankhede Stadium in an intriguing match for cricket fans. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Indian time. This season, both teams are getting into their groove, but they haven’t had an easy ride thus far.
The Mumbai Indians have yet to experience triumph. After losing to the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the team’s spirits are a little low. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders’ story has also been conflicting. Following their setback against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), KKR defeated the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to record their first victory.
Mumbai wins the head-to-head match between MI and KKR
The Mumbai Indians have consistently outperformed Kolkata, according to the statistics. In the 34 games that have been played between the two teams thus far, Mumbai has won 23 of them while KKR has only won 11. Furthermore, MI’s greatest score against Kolkata was 210 runs, while KKR’s highest score against Mumbai was 232 runs. These numbers unequivocally demonstrate that Mumbai appears to be winning this war by a small margin.
Mumbai is concerned about Rohit and Rickelton’s form
The performance of their former captain, Rohit Sharma, is the Mumbai Indians’ main issue. This season, Rohit’s bat has been quiet, which has caused the squad to worry. Ryan Rickelton, a South African batsman playing in his debut IPL, has displayed some promise at the same time, but he hasn’t yet been able to perform well on Indian grounds. Supporters are hoping that both of these batters can quickly get back to their best and help the club.
Probable playing-11 of both teams
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Verma, Will Jacks, Hardik Pandya (captain), Naman Dheer, Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, Trent Boult, Vignesh Puthur.
Kolkata Knight Riders: Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Spencer Johnson, Vaibhav Arora, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakraborty.
