Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 56 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at Dr 🔯DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai on Monday.
The five-time champions have been officially eliminated from the playoffs race to become the first team of the fifteenth season to miss out. The Rohit Sharma-led side has only w꧙on two games out of 10 matches and will now play for their pride i💝n the remaining fixtures.
Similarly, the Knight Riders are also struggling badly, losing seven out of 11 matchesꦰ to be positioned at the eighth spot🌌. Though KKR are still in the playoffs race, it would be really difficult for them to stay in the fight due to their poor net run rate.
Pitch report:
The tracℱk at the DY Patil Stadium offers good support to both batters and the bowlers. The dew factor will again have a say in the choices made by the captain.
