KKR made a fine start with Iyer going all guns blazing. MI chipped in with regular wickets. Iyer smashed his maiden IPL ton and became only the second centurion ever for KKR in the history of IPL. MI spinners bowled tightly in the middle-phase, trying to pull things back and they probably did a bit as no other batter could get going. Can MI get there? We shall find that out soon.

    Best batter and bowler prediction

    Best Batter of the Match: Rohit Sharma

    Rohit Sharma enjoys a terrific record against KKR in IPL. He has scored 1020 in 31 matches at an average of more than 40 with six fifties and a century to his name. Moreover, he is also coming off a brilliant half-century in the chase against DC in the previous outing.

    Best Bowler of the Match: Piyush Chawla

    Mumbai Indians' bowling might be inexperienced as a unit but they have a veteran in Piyush Chawla in their team. The leg-spinner is coming off a three-wicket haul in the previous game and will play a key role in this game too. There is a big match up for him against Andre Russell who has been dismissed by leg-spinners so far in this IPL season.

  • 2:30 PM (IST) Posted by Varun Malik

    Pitch and weather conditions

    Wankhede Stadium has so far hosted only one game this season and it was between MI and CSK. The chasing side won the game comfortably while there was turn and bounce for the bowlers in the first innings. Hence, the team winning the toss will look to bowl first.

    Weather forecast is set to be clear for this crucial encounter between MI and KKR. Humidity is likely to trouble players more with this being an afternoon game. There is no chance of rain whatsoever.
