In a highly anticipated clash at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the Mumbai Indians (MI) are set to face off against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024. With both teams eyeing crucial points to bolster their position on the points table, the stage is set for an intense battle on May 3.
MI, led by Hardik Pandya, has had a tough season so far, managing to secure victory in only three out of their ten matches. Currently languishing in the ninth position, MI will be looking to turn their fortunes around with a strong performance against KKR. However, their recent form has been less than impressive, with just one win in their last five matches.
On the other hand, KKR, under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, has been in stellar form this season, winning six out of their nine matches and currently holding the second spot on the points table. With three victories in their last five encounters, KKR will be aiming to maintain their winning momentum against MI.
The toss is scheduled to take place at 7:00 PM IST, with pacers expected to benefit from the pitch’s slight seam movement at Wankhede Stadium. The weather forecast predicts a warm evening in Mumbai, with no chances of rainfall, setting the stage for an exciting contest between two formidable teams.
