MI vs KKR: IPL 2024 team news

Mumbai have been Kolkata’s bogeyman at the IPL, with the former enjoying a record 71.8 win percentage. The numbers dip further for Kolkata when it comes to playing at the Wankhede, as their only win in ten outings came way back in 2012. However, on recent form, Kolkata are comfortably placed second on the points table with six wins in nine matches. Meanwhile, the hosts are reeling at ninth, managing only three wins from 10 games.

Lately, Mumbai Indians have been swapping Suryakumar Yadav for Nuwan Thushara, and that is likely to continue.

For Kolkata, Harshit Rana will miss this game due to his suspension. Either Vaibhav Arora or Chetan Sakariya could replace the fast bowler. Regarding Impact Player, they have been flexible based on matchups and conditions: for instance, Suyash Sharma against RCB, Anukul Roy against right-hand dominated PBKS or Vaibhav Arora against Rajasthan. Although Mitchell Starc’s form is a concern, he will likely take the new ball.

MI vs KKR: Prediction for today’s IPL match

Kolkata have momentum on their side. Expect them to break their 12-year jinx at the Wankhede. Notably, Sunil Narine starred with 4-15 during their last win at the venue. All eyes will be on him as he has had an excellent all-round season, so far.
