Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 51 of IPL 2024 at the Wankhede in Mumbai on Friday, May 3. MI are down at ninth in the points table, with only six points from 10 matches. KKR, meanwhile, have had an impressive run, winning six of their nine games.
After three consecutive losses and four defeats in their last five matches, Mumbai Indians are on the brink of elimination. Right from the first game when new captain Hardik Pandya was booed by the crowd, MI's campaign has seemed like a doomed one. In their last match, they came up with a poor batting effort and scored 144-7. Lucknow chased down the target with four wickets in hand.
In their previous match, meanwhile, Kolkata thumped Delhi Capitals by seven wickets at the Eden Gardens. Bowling first, Varun Chakravarthy starred with 3-16 as DC were held to 153-9. Phil Salt then clubbed 68 off 33 as KKR raced past Delhi's total in 16.3 overs.
