IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, match 56
At the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the Mumbai Indians will face the Kolkata Knight Riders in a thrilling match. Both teams haven't had the best of starts to the competition, and KKR is on the verge of joining MI as the IPL 2022 squad that has lost all hope of entering the playoffs. Despite a poor start, the Mumbai Indians have won their past two games and will be looking to conclude the season on a good note.
The Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, had a strong start to the tournament but have lost six of their last seven games. KKR do not have much time to rethink their strategy with only four wins in 11 games, and they will need to bring their A game out soon. The top-order combo of Aaron Finch and Baba Indrajith isn't working, so they'll likely put in Ajinkya Rahane and Sam Billings to provide steadiness.
