MI vs KKR Fantasy Cricket Tips

Mumbai Indians Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varm has been the highest run-scorers for the team in the tournament. Keeping both team will be beneficial in the fantasy contests. While Rohit Sharma might be a slightly risky pick, Tilak Varma is must-pick given the consistency he has shown with the bat. 
  • Jaspirt Bumrah has been the stand out bowler from the team. Bumrah should be the first choice bowler from the MI team. Alongside Bumrah, you can have Gerald Coetzee and Piyush Chawla in your fantasy XI. 

Kolkata Knight Riders Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Sunil Narine has been the MVP for KKR in IPL 2024. His batting has been a revelation for the team and he has also made decent contributions with the ball. Alongside Narine, Phil Salt has also been in good touch with the bat and could be a rewarding choice.
  • Among the KKR bowlers Harshit Rana has done a decent job in the tournament. However, he will not be a part of this game because of the suspension he has received for breaching the IPL code of conduct. So, Varun Charkravarthy and Vaibhav Arora could be the options to go with for this game. 


MI vs KKR Winner Prediction

Kolkata Knight Riders have faltered against the Mumbai Indians over the years. However, this year the Knight Riders have been in great form and in the recent past they have dominated this clash. Although it is still difficult to defeat MI at their home ground, the advantage will be with KKR because of the current form.

Sunil Narine (KKR)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 372 Runs and 11 Wickets in 9 Matches
  • The Trinidadian all-rounder has had a great impact on the team's performance in the tournament. Sunil Narine is the second highest run-scorer and the highest wicket-taker for his team in IPL 2024. His all-round ability makes Narine the safest choice for the game.

Andre Russell (KKR)

  • IPL 2024 Stats: 179 Runs and 9 Wickets in 9 Matches
  • The Jamaican all-rounder has looked good in IPL 2024 in the opportunities that he has got. However, a game-chaninging performance from Andre Rusell is still due.

Given the nature of the Wankhede wicket and the form of the players, a 1-5-2-3 or a 2-3-3-4 combination could be rewarding for the game. Try and keep more top order batters from the team that is chasing.
