Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Mumbai Indians, Match no. 22 , IPL 2023
After losing back-to-back matches at the start of the season, the Mumbai Indians managed in their latest fixture, as they defeated the Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets. The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan finally managed to get some runs under their belts and got the team off to a brisk start. They will be hoping to put up a repeat performance here. Tilak Varma has been pretty solid at number 3. However, the form of Surya Kumar Yadav as well as Tim David and Cameron Green remains a cause of concern for the team. Jason Behrendorff picked up a 3-wicket haul against the Delhi Capitals and will once again lead the pace attack along with Riley Meredith. Piyush Chawla is the lone full-time spinner in the team.
The Kolkata Knight Riders will be pretty disappointed with the outcome of their latest fixture, played against the Sunrisers Hyderabad as they lost out to them in a high-scoring encounter. Nitesh Rana played a brilliant knock under pressure and Rinku Singh scored a quick-fire half-century to show that his match-winning inning against the Gujarat Titans was not a fluke.However, the top order will need to perform better here. N Jagadeesan and Venkatesh Iyer have squandered away good starts this season. They will need to stay longer on the crease and play a big knock to be more helpful to the team. The Knight Riders will have to get back Tim Southee back in the mix soon to add bite to their pace attack. In the meantime, they will depend on Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy to bowl well during the middle overs.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai offers a good pitch to bat on. The boundaries are on the shorter side and the consistent bounce allows the batsmen to play their shots. The average first-inning score here is around 170. However, teams batting first will be hoping to get closer to 200.
MI VS KKR TOSS PREDICTION
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first here.
