Mumbai Indians (MI) take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 22 of IPL 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium on April 16, Sunday. The match starts from 3.30 pm and is a crucial game for both teams.
MI are heading into this contest on the back of their win against Delhi Capitals. This was their first win of this IPL campaign and Rohit Sharma as the skipper of the side would like to build on that.

Skipper Rohit Sharma found some runs in the previous game which is a good sign for Mumbai Indians. He also enjoys playing against KKR and is closing in on 1000 runs against the opponents. With Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav not firing, the batting lineup looks weak.
The Australian duo of Cameron Green and Tim David won them the game in the previous match. The management would bank on them to come good against KKR. They also have Tilak Varma in full form and perhaps the only MI batter in form in this season so far.

Mumbai finished last in IPL 2022 and did not start strongly in the first couple of games. Former cricket experts have counted them out of making the final four. It is from this game that MI need to make a turnaround in their season.
The absence of Jasprit Bumrah continues to haunt the franchise they are now tensed with Jofra Archer’s fitness as well. He has played the first game against RCB and since then is out of the playing XI.
In this article, we predict Mumbai Indians’ likely XI against Kolkata Knight Riders. They enjoy a 22-9 head-to-head count against DC.
