MIvsKKR:Team Prediction and Head to Head Battle

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) clash in Match No.34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 on Thursday at the Shiekh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. Mumbai have started slowly once again, like they most often do. They were not at their very best in the first half and suffered a loss against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening game of the UAE leg as well. Meanwhile, Kolkata had a splendid start in the UAE with a massive win against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

The 13th edition champions were denied an ideal start in the second phase of the T20 tournament as they suffered a loss to a 20-run loss against arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The franchise is sitting at fourth place in the points table with four victors and as many losses.

Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, had a blistering start to their campaign in the UAE as they defeated the favorites Royal Challengers Bangalore by nine wickets. The team is currently sixth in the standings with three victories and five losses.
