KKR vs MI Head-to-head Stats

The Kolkata Knight Riders and the Mumbai Indians have played 33 games against each other. The Mumbai Indians have their noses way in from this point as they have won 23 of these games, while KKR has just managed ten wins. But in the last five matches, the Kolkata Knight Riders have won four and have dominated their nemesis. 

In their last encounter, the 51st match of the IPL 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders faced a challenging start to their innings. However, the stellar performances of Venkatesh Iyer (70 off 52) and Manish Pandey (42 off 31) turned the tide in KKR's favour. Their partnership not only rescued the innings but also set the stage for a competitive total of 169/10 in 19.5 overs. 

Mumbai Indians started the chase moderately, but they kept losing wickets throughout the innings and fell away from the chase. Suryakumar Yadav (56 off 35) was the only resilient MI batter. They were ultimately restricted to 145 before being bundled out in the 19th over. KKR won the game by 24 runs. 

With the Mumbai Indians already out of the tournament, this game does not have much significance to their campaign. However, as one of the most successful teams in the tournament's history, MI will look to bow out with their heads held high. On the other hand, KKR will be looking to finish the league stages in the top two, so they must win this game.

Mumbai Indians Heavy Fantasy XI

• Tilak Varma has been the most consistent batter for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024. Barring a few matches, Varma has scored runs in most of the games. He will be one of the safer choices for the fantasy contests of the game. Suryakumar Yadav has picked up form with incredible knocks in the last two matches. He, too, would be a safe pick for the game. 
• Among the MI bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah is a must-pick, as he is one of the most successful bowlers in the tournament. Piyush Chawla could be a decisive choice, as he picked up form with the ball in the last game and knows the wicket from his time with the KKR franchise.
