This match of MI vs KKR has always been high-profile, as the owners and fans of both the franchises are very excited about it.
MI have not been able to register any win so far this season, due to which this match will be very important for them. At the same time, KKR made a comeback with a great win against Rajasthan Royals and would like to register their second consecutive win in this match.
Mumbai's team has looked quite disorganized in the tournament so far. Their playing eleven has looked unstable due to constant changes and wrong strategies. The decisions of the batsmen to send themselves down in crucial situations have also surprised fans and cricket experts. At the same time, despite having big names like Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Hardik Pandya and Mitchell Santner in the bowling department, the performance has not been satisfactory.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders made a tremendous comeback after losing their first match and showed excellent performance in all departments. The team hopes that Sunil Narine will return fully fit in this match, as he has an excellent record against Mumbai Indians. However, KKR's middle order still needs improvement so that the team can move forward strongly on the path of defending its title.
