MI vs KKR Live Updates: Pitch Report of the DY Patil Stadium

 

As the league has progressed the pitches have worn out and have started gripping, giving a lot of support to the spinners and chasing is getting a tad difficult even in night games. The pitch at the DY Patil Stadium also offers a bit of swing early on to the pace bowlers and hence is a good sporting wicket. It will most likely remain the same throughout the match

MI vs KKR Live Updates: Changes that MI need to make to their Playing 11

 

As for the Mumbai Indians, the Kumar Kartikeya Singh experience did not really work and hence either Hrithik Shokeen or Jaydev Unadkat should be brought back as a regular bowling option. Also, Kieron Pollard should be told to play freely because otherwise, he is eating up a lot of deliveries. In fact, given a chance, Dewald Brevis Should be played in his place, but that would be too harsh a call to take for the Mumbai management.

MI vs KKR Live Updates: Changes that KKR need to make to their Playing 11

 

The opening combination has been messed up really bad by the Kolkata Knight Riders management and none of the players that they tried in place of Venkatesh Iyer managed to perform. Even after retaining Venkatesh Iyer, he was not given a proper run and that is where things got messed up. Hopefully, for the last three games, he will be given a good run in the middle with Sheldon Jackson returning as the designated wicket-keeper.

MI vs KKR Live Updates: Mumbai Indians would like to keep the momentum going

 

Thus, this game against Mumbai Indians, who are coming off back to back wins after losing eight on the trot, is more a battle of pride and keeping the bragging right in this long-standing Mumbai -Kolkata rivalry, than anything else for the Knight Riders. And for Mumbai and its skipper Rohit Sharma, it is only about one thing and that is pride and keeping up the winning momentum.

MI vs KKR Live Updates: Numerically KKR could still qualify, but realistically can they?

 

The Indian Premier League is at its business-end five times champions Mumbai Indians and two times winners Kolkata Knight Riders are already out of the race. Speaking numerically, Kolkata are still in it if they win big the rest of their three games, and other teams lose big and then several other permutations and combinations, but realistically even they know that the Playoffs ship has sailed and they could not board it.
