Background
Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders is a blockbuster game on any day of the week. This fixture was dominated by MI over the years. In fact, Kolkata Knight Riders were not able to register a win against Mumbai Indians for the first three seasons of the IPL. Mumbai Indians’ head-to-head record against KKR is also very good. Mumbai has 21-6 in their favor.
MI will go head to head for the 28th time in the IPL against Mumbai Indians at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match-5 of the IPL will begin at the usual timing of 7:20 pm IST on Tuesday, 13 April, 2021. Mumbai Indians will play this match in the backdrop of a loss against RCB. While KKR are fresh off a win against SRH. Thus, there will be different feelings in both the camps, but it will be interesting to see who comes out victorious.
Rohit Sharma's men would be looking to register their first win of the tournament. While Morgan's men would be excited to go in the match to improve their record against Mumbai Indians. Personally, for captain Rohit Sharma, this fixture has been a special one. He has seven fifty plus scores in KKR vs MI matches. His highest score of 109 also came against Kolkata.
Conditions look just like the way they have previously at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Captain who wins the toss will look to bowl first and chase.
