Mumbai Indians will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 51st game of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, May 3. Mumbai Indians, who stand little to no chance of making it to the playoffs, come into the game on the back of three consecutive losses.
In their last match against LSG, Mumbai managed to accumulate only 144 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Nehal Wadhera top scored with 46 runs while the rest of the batsmen failed to make any impact. Captain Hardik Pandya has been inspiring so far, both as a captain and an allrounder. Amidst the team’s struggles, Jasprit Bumrah stands out for his consistent performances.
KKR, on the other hand, comfortably won their previous game against the Delhi Capitals and are at the second position in the points table. Varun Chakaravarthy picked up three wickets to help keep Delhi to a low total. In reply, Phil Salt’s explosive innings of 67 runs played an important role in steering KKR’s easy win.
In their IPL history, Mumbai and Kolkata have clashed 32 times. Mumbai have dominated with 23 wins, while Kolkata Knight Riders have secured victory in only nine matches. Mumbai’s highest score against KKR is 210, whereas Kolkata’s highest total against MI stands at 232.
