Mumbai Indians are looking to bounce back after two straight losses. They’ll face the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium. Kolkata had a rough start, but they rebounded with a win against the Rajasthan Royals.
Hardik Pandya’s team has had a tough tournament start. They lost to the Chennai Super Kings and then the Gujarat Titans. Mumbai wants to turn things around. Their playing eleven might see some changes. Rohit Sharma and Ryland Rikleton could open.
Kolkata didn’t start strong either. They lost to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, but then beat Rajasthan. Ajinkya Rahane’s team wants to keep winning. Sunil Narine might return after missing the last match.
Kolkata could play Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, and Raman Singh. Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer are likely to play too. Mumbai might go with Mitchell Santner, Deepak Chahar, and Trent Boult.
