Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Preview

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians had to wait until the final ball of their third encounter to secure their first win of the season. They do, however, have a plethora of great players who can up their game, and they will be confident going into this encounter.

Jofra Archer was missing the previous two games, the Mumbai Indians have had to rely on their other players to fill the role of attack leader. Tristan Stubbs was left out of the starting XI for the win over the Delhi Capitals, and we expect him to be left out again in this match.

Kolkata Knight Riders

The Kolkata Knight Riders were defeated by the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, but they still demonstrated a lot of character and ability with the bat. They are the type of team that believes in itself till the very end.

Although Kolkata Knight Riders were defeated by Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring classic on Friday, we would be surprised to see any adjustments. Andre Russell is not fully fit, but he should be in good enough shape to play again.
