MI vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Prediction- Who Will Win?
Kolkata will enter the MI vs KKR match of the IPL 2024 on the back of a convincing win over Delhi Capitals where their batters chased the target of 154 in just 16.3 overs, winning the game by seven wickets. All of KKR batters have fired at one point or the other in the IPL 2024 season. Their openers, Sunle Narine and Phil Salt have been getting the team off to wonderful starts and then their middle order carries on the momentum further. Barring Mitchell Starc, their bowling has been effective too.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have had a wretched campaign so far as they have only managed to win three matches out of the 10 that they have played. Their batting and bowling, both have let them down. They have not looked like they are on the same page as a team during the matches and that reflects on the IPL 2024 points table. Despite MI having a head to head record of 23-9 in 32 games against KKR, Kolkata look favorites for the MI vs KKR clash in IPL 2024.
