MI vs KKR: Match Preview:
With three wins from seven games, MI’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs are extremely low. Even if they go on to win their remaining four league games, their fate will depend on other teams’ results. And to at least remain in the playoffs race, they will have to first beat KKR and end their three-match losing streak.
The five-time champions have lost their last three games and will be desperate to get back to winning ways. In their last game, they suffered a four-wicket loss against Lucknow Super Giants. MI’s batters failed to impress once again as they managed to score a modest 144/7 before LSG chased down the total with four balls remaining.
KKR, on the other hand, will come into this game full of confidence and will be eyeing another crucial win to further bolster their playoffs chances. KKR thrashed DC by seven wickets in their last game and will be fancying their chances of beating MI and improving their terrible record at the Wankhede Stadium.
