MI vs KKR Probable Winners:

Mumbai Indians had to fight hard to get their first win of the campaign against Delhi Capitals and we expect them to be given another good game in this match. Kolkata Knight Riders have been very entertaining with their batting but currently look a little under-strength with their bowling attack. Overall, we are predicting a close contest with Mumbai Indians getting the victory. Considering the team combination, Mumbai Indians are expected to win this match.
