Team Preview of Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders
The Mumbai Indians are almost out of contention to qualify for the knockout stage. Right now, they are in ninth position with only two wins, which has been the situation for the Mumbai Indians for the last three seasons, during which they failed to stay at the top of the table. The leadership of Hardik Pandya has been a big concern for them because under him, many players do not feel confident, and also he does not change the plan, which was already mentioned by Kevin Pietersen, who said that a captain should have plans A, B, and C.
Mumbai lost their last match against Lucknow by four wickets. Once again, their top order failed to perform, and it was Nehal Wadhera and Tim David who fought till the end to put up a total of 144. However, Hardik Pandya did great bowling as he picked up two wickets and gave away only 25 runs with an economy of 6.50, which is good news for the Indian team.
Kolkata Knight Riders won their last match against Delhi Capitals quite easily by 7 wickets. They bowled out the Delhi side for just 153 runs and chased down the target in 16.3 overs. Rishabh Pant’s decision to bat first on the ground with too much dew was not good. The bowling unit of KKR was amazing as Vaibhav Arora and Mitchell Starc took two early wickets of Delhi’s batters.
After failing to defend the 262 target against the Punjab Kings, the KKR side brought back their pacers, Vaibhav Arora and Mitchell Starc, who bowled quite well against Delhi Capitals. It is going to be an interesting match between the MI and KKR.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, has been batting-friendly, but in the initial overs, the ball does swing, which is a good sign for bowlers as most of the IPL match pitches are against them and in favor of batters, which is why every team is scoring 200+ easily.
This surface is a lot drier and when you use the same pitch consecutively then the wicket will show some semblance of dry patches. It still looks a beautiful wicket, not a wicket where you get rolled over for a 100 odd runs. There will be runs but today we could see the spinners play in the powerplay. They are spraying some anti-dew substance onto the outfield, but dew could play a factor. You certainly want to be chasing on the surface, suggests Ian Bishop and Kevin Pietersen.
