Mumbai Indians are all set to take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in a mouth-watering contest at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. Both teams haven’t had the best of runs in the tournament so far and KKR are on the verge of joining MI as the team to have lost the chances of making the playoffs of IPL 2022. Mumbai Indians have managed to win their last two games despite a disastrous start and they will certainly look to finish the tournament on a high.

On the other hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders started off the tournament brightly, but since then, it has been a downward spiral for them with six losses in the last seven games. With just four wins in 11 games, KKR do not have much time to reassess their plans and they will need to bring their A game out soon. Aaron Finch and Baba Indrajith’s combination at the top is not working and they are likely to bring in Ajinkya Rahane and Sam Billings to provide stability.
