Mumbai IndiansKolkata Knight RidersThe IPL 2024 has turned out to be a nightmare for the team and the franchise. To qualify for the playoffs, Mumbai Indians need to win their remaining of fixtures with high margins so that their net run rate can also witness an improvement. However, it will be a huge task for the team as the players have been inconsistent in their performance.
Tilak Varma is their highest scorer with 336 runs in 9 matches at an average of 48. Rohit Sharma has also performed well enough with 311 runs in 9 matches at an average of 38.88 but his strike rate has been 160.30. His presence at the top order is always a danger to the opposition.
Jasprit Bumrah has become the leading wicket-taker in the league this year with 14 wickets in 9 matches at an economy of 6.63. Gerald Coetzee has also been effective on his debut with 12 wickets in 8 matches at an economy of 10.10.
Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Jasprit Bumrah are the key players for the team.
Predicted Lineup: Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya (c), Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Tim David, Mohammad Nabi, Piyush Chawla, Jasprit Bumrah
Kolkata Knight Riders are having one of the best seasons in the league this year. They have dominated every fixture and have reached close to qualifying for the playoffs after their win in the previous game against Delhi Capitals.
Bowlers started the game on a positive note and didn't allow the opposition to build partnerships and score quick runs. Varun Chakaravarthy picked up 3 wickets at an economy of 4. Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana scalped 2 wickets each at an economy of 7.25 and 7. Mitchell Starc also contributed with a single wicket but he was expensive at an economy of 14.33.
Phil Salt’s destructive batting style made things easier for the rest of the batting unit. He scored 68 off 33 balls at a strike rate of 206.06. Skipper Shreyas Iyer (33 off 23) and Venkatesh Iyer (26 off 23) finished the game comfortably while 3 overs were remaining. KKR now needs 3 more wins out of 5 of their remaining matches to cement their space in the playoffs.
Philip Salt, Sunil Narine, and Varun Chakaravarthy are the key players for the team.
Predicted Lineup: Shreyas Iyer (c), Philip Salt (wk), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Dushmantha Chameera, Varun Chakaravarthy, Harshit Rana
Mumbai Indians are a much more imbalanced team as of now in IPL 2024. Their top order has not performed up to the mark and the middle order needs to be more consistent.
The bowlers have also been expensive on a lot of occasions. KKR has a good rhythm going on with the batting and bowling unit doing their job well. We predict a win for Kolkata Knight Riders.
