Match Preview
The 60th clash of the Indian Premier League will have Kolkata Knight Riders clashing against Mumbai Indians. The match will be played at Kolkata’s home Eden Gardens on May 11, Sunday. Kolkata Knight Riders are almost on the verge of sealing a playoff berth, which they would want to make happen in the upcoming game. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, became the first team to be eliminated from the 2024 season with a below-par performance.
While they have nothing to lose now, the five-time winners would wish to end the bitter-sweet season by winning most of their remaining games.
Toss Prediction
Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians have already clashed once in the current season of the Indian Premier League. The last time they were up against was on May 3, and the game was played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The thrilling contest saw MI skipper Hardik Pandya winning the toss over Kolkata’s captain. Considering this, we think, Shreyas Iyer would come up and win the toss to level the tally 1-1.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians have already played a game against each other in the IPL 2024. The match saw Iyer and Co. thrashing their counterparts to register a 24-run win. Apart from that, both teams have faced each other in 33 games in the IPL, where Mumbai registered 14 wins, whereas Kolkata came out victorious 10 times. The Kolkata-based franchise turned around their records and won their first away game against MI for the first time in 12 years in their reverse fixture.
This says enough for the form KKR have been in and with the playoffs spot on stake, we think the two-time IPL winners will be at their best and save themselves a qualifiers’ berth.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The upcoming match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians will take place at one of the most unique and popular stadiums, the Eden Gardens. The stadium has hosted 91 IPL matches with a first-inning average of 164 runs. In the upcoming match, the first-inning score is expected to be around 185-195. The powerplay score is likely to hover around 60-65.
