MI vs KKR Match Prediction: An exciting match is going to be held for cricket lovers on Monday, when Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face each other at the famous Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match will start at 7:30 pm Indian time. Both the teams are finding their rhythm this season, but the journey so far has not been easy for them.
Mumbai Indians have not tasted victory yet. The team’s morale is a bit low after losing against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT). On the other hand, the story of Kolkata Knight Riders has also been mixed. After losing to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), KKR registered their first win by defeating Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Mumbai dominates MI vs KKR head-to-head
If we look at the statistics, Mumbai Indians have always had the upper hand against Kolkata. So far 34 matches have been played between the two teams, out of which Mumbai has won 23 times, while KKR has been successful only 11 times. Not only this, KKR’s highest score against Mumbai has been 232 runs, while MI’s highest score against Kolkata is 210 runs. These figures clearly show that Mumbai seems to be slightly ahead in this battle.
Rohit and Rickelton’s form is a matter of concern for Mumbai
The biggest problem for Mumbai Indians is the form of their former captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit’s bat has been silent this season, which has become a matter of concern for the team. At the same time, South African batsman Ryan Rickelton, who is playing his first IPL, has shown a glimpse of his talent, but he has not been able to do wonders on Indian pitches yet. Fans hope that both these batsmen will soon return to form and strengthen the team.
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.
