Kolkata Knight Riders will be up against the Mumbai Indians in the fifth match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium at Chennai and will start at 7:30 PM.
Mumbai Indians suffered a loss against Royals Challengers Bangalore in a close contest encounter. There were many flaws in Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai batting in the first game and the team has also not done well in bowling as well. Mumbai Chris Lynn plays as an opener in the first place while their South African brilliance Quinton de Kock was out of the first game.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are coming after an emphatic win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi scored half-centuries for the team and their bowling was also in a better position. Eoin Morgan-led KKR has shown much class in the latter half of the last season and also in the opening match of this year’s IPL.
