Pre-Match Analysis
Mumbai Indians suffered damage right at the start of the tournament when they appointed Hardik Pandya as their skipper in place of Rohit Sharma. The season has almost reached the final league stages and things haven’t settled down yet in the group as Hardik Pandya showing disappointment over the players in the media. Insult to the injury, they haven’t had a great time over the last 10 days where they lost 3 matches in a row and pushed down to the 9th spot in the standings with 6 points.
They need a miracle from now on to qualify for the playoffs with plenty of competition happening among the top rank sides. Their latest defeat was against Lucknow Super Giants by 4 wickets on Tuesday where their batting didn’t click but the bowlers showed a good heart to push the game till the final over.
Kolkata Knight Riders have a good opportunity to strengthen their position in the top half of the standings when they travel to Mumbai for their 10th fixture. They thrashed Delhi Capitals at home by 7 wickets to script their 6th win on Monday. Bowlers did a splendid job to keep the opposition for 153, the lowest total at Eden Gardens this season, and that took them only 16.3 overs to finish the game. Varun Chakravarthy starred with the ball with a 3-fer while Phil Salt shinned with a brisk 68 in 33 balls. With momentum on their side, they will start as favorites against Mumbai.
They will miss the services of Harshit Rana for this match who has been handed a ban after breaching the Code of Conduct in the last game against Delhi Capitals.
