Topmost Picks for MI vs KKR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Mumbai Indians

• Tilak Varma – Tilak Varma has also looked in decent touch at times but failed to score big. However, he still has 343 runs to his name, including three fifties.
• Gerald Coetzee – Gerald Coetzee has also picked crucial wickets, even though he has been a tad expensive with an economy of over 10 runs per over.

Top Picks – Kolkata Knight Riders

• Sunil Narine- the 35 year old has been producing with both bat and ball on a consistent basis in IPL 2024 season and Friday’s game was another with four overs costing only 24 runs as well as hitting 13 boundaries.
• Mitchell Starc- the Australian left-arm pace bowler has been expensive in the tournament but he is a very dangerous bowler and KKR could do with his attacking mentality with the ball in this game.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for MI vs KKR Dream11 Team:

Philip Salt, Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(VC), Tilak Varma, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine(C), Hardik Pandya, Gerald Coetzee, Vaibhav Arora, Jasprit Bumrah

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for MI vs KKR Dream11 Team:

Philip Salt(C), Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma(VC), Ishan Kishan, Tilak Varma, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Hardik Pandya, Gerald Coetzee, Mitchell Starc, Jasprit Bumrah

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Philip Salt, Sunil Narine

Vice-captain – Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav

Wicketkeeper – Philip Salt

MI vs KKR Probable Winners:

We predict KKR to win. The team has been ruthless, playing aggressive cricket, particularly on flat surfaces. MI lack confidence, and the majority of their players are out of form. We believe KKR is a better bet to win this match. Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee have been in excellent wicket-taking form, and MI will need them to perform at their best against KKR. Rohit Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav will be MI’s batters to watch. Rohit’s only century this season came at Wankhede, and he could repeat the feat on a belter of a pitch. Considering the team combination, Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this match.
