Match Preview
We are halfway through the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League, and in the upcoming clash, we will see five-time winners Mumbai Indians clashing against Kolkata Knight Riders. The match is slated to take place on May 3, Friday, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Mumbai Indians, the joint-most winners are having a disastrous season thus far as they have been able to secure only three wins out of the nine games they played.
KKR, on the other hand, performed like underdogs, and with three losses in their account, they came on the top second spot of the points table. While KKR would aim to hold on to the second spot, MI, who are on the verge of elimination, would try to turn around their previous defeat.
Toss Prediction
Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders have played 32 matches in the IPL so far. If we consider their last five matches, Kolkata’s captain won three tosses, whereas Mumbai’s captain came on top of two tosses. If we talk about the upcoming toss, we think home skipper Hardik Pandya would win the toss, considering that the game will be played at Mumbai’s home ground.
Win Possibility
Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians have rubbed shoulders with each other 32 times in the IPL so far. In those matches, MI have maintained a clear edge over their rivals with 23 wins in their account. The Kolkata-based franchise have been able to win only nine games over the five-time IPL winners. It clearly describes how dominant Mumbai have been over KKR.
If we talk about their current performance, this season has been nothing less than a nightmare for them. The Blue Jerseys haven’t been able to make a mark and are currently hanging out at the bottom of the standings. KKR, on the other hand, emerged as one of the most lethal and powerful teams. They have defeated several dominating teams, and with it, are seated on the second spot of the points table.
While the records state that MI is a dominating team, their recent performances support KKR’s dominance, and considering this, we think the visitors would emerge victorious.
