IPL 2020: MI vs KKR Preview – Mumbai aim to continue their dominance
Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians and Dinesh Karthik’s Kolkata Knight Riders will take on each other at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Match 32 of IPL 2020. Mumbai Indians have 5 wins to their name in 7 matches, while Kolkata Knight Riders have won four matches. Mumbai Indians are coming off a 6-wicket win over Delhi Capitals. Meanwhile, KKR were decimated by 82 runs by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Mumbai Indians have had a smooth start to the campaign. They are one team that is not reliant on just 2-3 star players. They have had a different Man of the Match every time they’ve won. Their net run rate is also the best as of now. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, have had a mixed run so far. However, their net run rate is a huge concern after their loss against RCB. They would look to win games with a huge margin now onwards. The last time the two teams played against each other this season, Mumbai won the match by 49 runs at Abu Dhabi.

Team News:
Mumbai Indians:
Mumbai Indians have chosen to not participate in the mid-season transfers. This goes to show that the Rohit Sharma led side has full faith in its players, and that they do not believe in chopping and changing their team frequently. They are likely to go with the same playing XI against Kolkata, not disturbing their winning momentum. With Delhi taking the top spot once again, they would be looking to get back at the top with a win here.
Kolkata Knight Riders:
Kolkata Knight Riders are in a spot of bother after that huge loss against RCB. It has exposed a lot of the problems in the management, and their over-reliance on Sunil Narine. Dinesh Karthik has hinted that Narine won’t return to play till his action is officially cleared by the BCCI Suspect Bowling Action Committee. KKR could consider trying out Chris Green in place of Tom Banton.
