Team News: MI Vs KKR
Mumbai Indians :
There is nothing to lose for the most successful franchise as they have only managed to grab two wins in ten games and are at the bottom of the table. The franchise is currently looking to grab points as they can to finish on a high note. Jasprit Bumrah is currently going out of his form and went wicketless in the last game. However, Jofra Archer will join the team next season and that will definitely boost the team’s performance. Although, in the reverse fixture KKR has defeated MI this time the scenario is totally different with Mumbai coming from two consecutive victories in their last two games

Kolkata Knight Riders:
Meanwhile, in the case of the Knights, they have only one option left which is to grab wins in the rest three games and then wait for the other teams to slip down. Although, Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh gifted the knights a victory in the next game they again failed to perform as suffered a humiliation against Lucknow the other day. The top four batters of KKR has failed to perform in the entire tournament with Narine and Russell being the only one who is taking the team to its victory. Like the reverse fixture will they again be able to defeat MI or will suffer a defeat again here at the DY Patil Stadium.
