MI vs KKR: Match Details

MI vs KKR Match Preview:

Mumbai's batting has got a big boost as it finally included Tim David in the middle order. The firepower is there to smack any type of bowling. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan looked in great touch in the last match. This could be another good batting outing for MI. 

The Mumbai think-tank might include a pacer in the playing XI watching KKR batters struggle against high speeds, especially short balls. Basil Thampi might be given a go in place of Kumar Kartikeya. 

KKR's batting is going nowhere. They have a collective weakness against high pace bowling. The consistency is lacking. The batting order isn't set, and we might see at least two changes again today. 

Only Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are doing their job to perfection in this season. Russell has smashed bowlers left, right, and center but hasn't got enough support from the other end. Narine has been economical and could leave an impact with the bat as well.
