Preview
In the 51st IPL 2024 match, Mumbai Indians vs. Kolkata Knight Riders (MI vs KKR) will be playing for a must-win situation. They will benefit from the fact that the game will be played at Mumbai’s Wankehede Stadium. Another advantage for the home team is their head-to-head record. In faceoffs, the five-time winners have dominated the two-time winners. Even yet, MI will not fancy their prospects of defeating KKR in the forthcoming game.
In the league’s opening games, MI had a number of batsmen that contributed significantly. With the possible exception of Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera, none of their batters have been reliable during the past five games. Their bowling is heavily reliant on Jasprit Bumrah, if that’s not enough. Realising he poses a threat, the opposition plays him out and looks to get runs off other bowlers. To remain in the tournament, the home team must perform at their highest level at Wankhede Stadium.
Conversely, KKR’s batting has been their sole stronger suit. They have a solid duo in Sunil Narine and Phil Salt at the top. Great finishers like Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, and Rinku Singh are positioned lower in the ranking. When it comes to bowling, Narine has been the key to their success. KKR would be the early favourites because of the strength and performances of both teams. However, the record against each other almost balances out the edge.
