Mumbai vs Kolkata have been fascinating encounters in the past. KKR have won their first match against Gujarat in grand style with Chris Lynn playing one of the memorable innings of IPL. If he continues to be in that form, KKR would be strong contender for the title as they have very good bowling attack. Mumbai will be eager to have services of Malinga, Southee making way for him. Loss of A Rayudu will be a big blow for MI as Rohit is yet to find form. For KKR, Shakib is available, but with S Narine and Chawla playing seems that he will have to wait. Woakes may play his second game today.
Key players for fantasy team:
MI – Rohit Sharma, Parhiv Patel, Malinga, Buttler, H Pandya
KKR – Lynn, Gambhir, Pandey, Narine, Woakes
Lynn, Gambhir, Parthiv, Buttler would be popular choices for captian, vice captain selection.
My prediction for this match would be a KKR win with another good performance from Lynn.
