MI vs KOL Dream11 Match Preview

Mumbai Indians after struggling in their first 8 matches have found good form and have won two matches in a row. Their batters, especially the openers have played well and it’s a great sign for them. They are already out of the play-offs race and will play freely. The middle-order was in form throughout the tournament with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma performing consistently. Tim David has strengthened the batting order. 

The bowlers have been in good form recently. They defended 9 runs in the last over of the last game and will be high on confidence. Jasprit Bumrah is yet to find his mojo but expect him to do well. Daniel Sams have been excellent while RIley Meredith too has bowled well. Kumar Kartikeya has brought variety in their spin attack. Mumbai will look to play freely and win this game as well.

Kolkata Knight Riders have been struggling very badly this season. They are at the 8th position and have won only one match in the last 5 games that they’ve played. Opening has been a major issue for them. Shreyas Iyer too has failed to play big knocks and perform consistently. Nitish Rana and Rinky Singh have done well in the middle-order while Andre Russell has performed in most of the games with the bat. KKR needs consistency from the batting unit. 

The bowlers have been decent for KKR. Tim Southee has bowled well for them while Umesh Yadav has picked wickets in almost every game. Shivam Mavi has been average. Sunil Narine has been exceptional and has bowled very economically. Andre Russell has chipped in with wickets whenever he has got the chance to bowl. KKR will look to perform as a team and win this game.
