Mumbai Indians have already qualified for the playoffs and their next target will be to finish in the top two. Owing to a superior NRR, they will finish in the top two if they win this match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Also, since momentum is such a crucial thing in this format, they would want to win this match convincingly.

“We got some work to do in the batting department, Quinny [Quinton de Kock] has been good but we need help from the other batters. The confidence is there and we need to understand what’s the par score at a venue and I thought we did 70-80 percent of the basics right in the batting, only a few games we let our batting collapse a little bit but we are hoping to get better,” Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma wants his batting to be more consistent.

Here is Mumbai Indians predicted XI against KKR:

Quinton de Kock(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Evin Lewis, Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga, Rasikh Salam
