Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match 51 | Pre - Match Show
Mumbai Indians will lock horns against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 51st match of the IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Following their tough defeat at the hands of LSG away, MI are staring down the barrel as far their IPL playoff chances are concerned. Meanwhile, KKR got back to winning ways with a stunning performance at home against DC, to showcase why they are still one of the teams to beat in the IPL 2024.
Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai was last used nearly three weeks ago in the ongoing season of the IPL due to MI’s four consecutive away matches, which is why the pitch for their upcoming match against KKR will be fresh, loaded with runs for the incredibly strong batting lineups of both teams. With that, the average first innings score of 170 at this venue in the history of the IPL, could be very hard for either MI or KKR to defend when they take the field on May 3.
MI Probable XI: Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Gerald Coetzee, Kumar Kartikeya, Jasprit Bumrah (Impact Substitute: Naman Dhir)
KKR Probable XI: Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Andre Russell, Rinku Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Vaibhav Arora, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakaravarthy. (Impact Substitute: Angkrish Raghuvanshi)
