MATCH    : KKR VS MI ; MATCH-5, IPL 2020

DATE       : WEDNESDAY, Sep 2020

TIME        : 7:30 PM (IST)

VENUE    : Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

MATCH PREVIEW:

Kolkata Knight Riders are going to play their first match of this league against the defending champions Mumbai Indians. After the loss in their first match, we hope Mumbai Indians to bounce back to break of streak of 6 losses in UAE. If you observe the KKR management are very happy after their success in a CPL previously this year. They hope that this improves the morale of the team management to perform efficiently in the Dream11 IPL.

The KKR looks very strong with the new addition of Morgan, Tom Banton and Cummins. It will be real headache for the KKR selectors and Dinesh karthik about the 4 foreign players they should choose. There will be a lot of pressure on cummins due to his price tag. We would like to see how kuldeep will bounce back after having a bad season in IPL 2019. Don’t underestimate Russell who can be match winner at any moment.

Mumbai Indians are very poor in fielding against CSK which made them lose their match. They expect their pace spearhead to perform to improve the confidence in MI. They expect their strong middle order to perform efficiently so that they don’t face a bad collapse like the previous match. Even Abu Dhabi is nowhere near to Wankhade in boundary size. As it is the beginning of the tournament, they should be well adapted to the situation as they are going to play majority of matches here.

POINTS TO NOTE:

Mumbai enjoys a very good success over the years against KKR. Winning 19 out of 25 matches, they are ahead of KKR in this number game.

Rohit sharma should score 90 runs to join the prestigious 5000 club.
