MI vs KKR, DY Patil Stadium. The last time when Mumbai Indians played Kolkata Knight Riders, Pat Cummins scored 35 off one over of Daniel Sams. An over to remember for the Aussie Test Skipper, but an over to forget for Daniel Sams. This is why MI vs KKR is the second El Clasico of the IPL after MI vs CSK.
MI has nothing to lose in this game, but if KKR loses this game, playoffs will be difficult for them. So, Shreyas Iyer must put all the tricks out of KKR's bag. Pat Cummins should be included in the team as he has stolen matches from MI's hand on multiple occasions.
Interestingly, MI has lost the lowest number of powerplay wickets fallen, 12, in the IPL 2022. In contrast, KKR has lost the most powerplay wickets, 23, in the IPL 2022. Matchups of the KKR bowler against MI top order say that MI should lose the powerplay wickets tonight.
Tim David and Daniel Sams will be crucial if early wickets are falling. M Ashwin and H Shokeen should be in the playing 11. Shokeen provides decent batting in the middle order, and Ashwin has good matchups against KKR batters. SKY and Tilak Varma are more important batters than Rohit and Ishan tonight. Both of them are more consistent and confident than the openers, and both plays spin very well.
