🏏IPL Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match 34 🏏

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships❤️ Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work. Let us wish the best team will win today like always.❤️

Mumbai Indians are set to cross swords with Kolkata Knight Riders in Match No.34 of the 2021 Indian Premier League on Thursday, September 23 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Their face off is one of the most one-sided rivalries in the history of the T20 league, or any tournament!!

Defending champions Mumbai Indians would look for inspiration from skipper Rohit Sharma, who is set to return to action, when they take on a rejuvenated Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League match on Thursday. Mumbai were without the services of Rohit and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya in their 20-run defeat to Chennai Super Kings on Sunday as both were rested as a precautionary measure due to having niggles.

In their last 13 meetings, MI have won as many as 12 times.

KKR, on the other hand, have registered a dominating nine-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore in their opening game of the second leg of the league.

In the second leg, both teams have had contrasting starts. The Mumbai-based team went down to the Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs. MI didn’t have Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya in their team and their absence was well and truly felt.⭐️

They kept hanging in the middle of the points table. The Knights, on the other hand, will be going into the next game after a nine-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore. Despite the victory last time, the Men in Gold and Purple are placed sixth and need more wins to get into the top four.

Let us ope this game will be more interesting and enjoy the game with zest.

Pitch Report:

The Sheikh Zayed Stadium is a batting-friendly surface and is expected to assist the batsmen once again here. Pacers might get some benefit towards the latter half of the match while the wrist spinners may come in handy in the middle overs.

Average 1st innings score:

The average first innings score on this wicket is 165.

Record of chasing teams:

The team batting second has great records here. They have maintained a winning percentage of 60 on this ground.
