Mumbai Indians (MI) will square off against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on Sunday (April 16). While MI registered a win over Delhi Capitals (DC) in their previous game, KKR faced a defeat against Sunrisers Hyder🍒abad (SRH) in their🔯 last encounter.

Rohit Sharma was the standout performer for the Mumbai-based team in their maiden win of the season, as he played a brilliant knock of 65 runs off 45 balls in the run chase. Piyush Chawla and Jason Behrendorff also played a significant role in MI’s victory over Delhi by picking up three wickets each in the first innings. On the other hand, Nitish Rana (75) and Rinku Singh (58) scored quickfire half-centuries for KKR in their match against SRH. At the same time, Andre Russell contributed with the ball and scalpedꩵ three wickets for his 🥂team.

Mumbai will look to move up in the points table and carry the 𒈔momentum they got in their last game when they face KKR on April 16. Meanwhile, Kolkata would be eying a comeback with a win against Mumbaꦐi.
