Mumbai Indians won their last match by 5 runs against Gujarat Titans which must have boosted their confidence a lot. They won’t be qualifying for the playoffs this season but will try their level best to win all the matches that will give them the pride. MI is at just four points, having played 10 matches and if they win the remaining matches, they would reach only 12 points which are still not enough to go to the next stage.

The Two-time winners of IPL, KKR, under new captain Shreyas Iyer, lost against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday by a huge margin of defeat that left them with eight points from 11 games. They have three matches in hand and the maximum points they can reach is 14 which is again something that cannot guarantee even a fourth-place finish. Just like MI, they would also want to play this match for their team’s glory.

MI vs KKR: Match Prediction

MI have won 2 out of 10 matches and are still in the last position in the points table. They defeated Gujarat Titans, the most consistent team in the IPL in the last game by 5 runs after scoring 177 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. They would try their best to give the same performance against KKR. Kolkata Knight Riders started the season with high hopes but lost track after a few games. They lost a match against Lucknow Super Giants in the last game by a huge margin of 75 runs. They are placed at the 8th spot. Mumbai Indians are likely to win the match.

Ishan Kishan from Mumbai Indians only scored 14 runs in the last head-to-head game against Kolkata Knight Riders but can come in handy here.

Rohit Sharma from Mumbai Indians couldn’t prove himself in the last head-to-head match against Kolkata Knight Riders but here he can muster a lot of runs.
