Kolkata Knight Riders continue their ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 campaign by taking on five-time champions Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the 60th game of the tournament on Saturday, May 11.
Kolkata Knight Riders have been in exceptional form in the tournament so far, staying atop the IPL 2024 standings with eight wins and three losses. The side holds the number one spot in the points table with 16 points to their name, ahead of Rajasthan Royals on net run rate. The two-time champions will take on MI with three consecutive wins in their previous games.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have already been eliminated from the tournament, and any wins from here will only be a consolation prize. With four wins and eight losses in 12 matches, MI currently occupy eighth place in the standings.
After four consecutive losses, the side managed to win their previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad after a masterclass ton by Suryakumar Yadav. The five-time champions will aim to derail KKR’s plan and grab a consolation win against the table-toppers.
Probable Playing XI:
Kolkata Knight Riders- Phil Salt (WK), Sunil Narine, Angkrish Raghuvanshi/Manish Pandey, Shreyas Iyer (C), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Ramandeep Singh, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Varun Chakaravarthy
