KOL vs MI Match Preview
On Wednesday, the 14th match of IPL 2022 will pit Kolkata Knight Riders against Mumbai Indians. KKR has won two of their three matches so far in the competition, but this is set to be their hardest test. They’ve only won 7 of the 29 games they’ve played against MI, and they’ll be hoping to change that. Pat Cummins, the Australian Test skipper, arrived at the KKR camp last week and will be eligible for selection. It would be intriguing to watch how the team manages to get him into the playing 11.
On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have yet to win a game in the competition. MI’s hitters failed to chase down a 194-run mark in their previous encounter against Rajasthan Royals, losing by 23 runs. Suryakumar Yadav could be included in the playing 11 for this game, bolstering their middle-order.
