Kolkata Knight Riders Preview
Kolkata Knight Riders are coming off a stunning win over Lucknow Super Giants away from home. They are sitting pretty at the top of the points table with eight wins in 11 matches and one more win will more or less seal their place in the top two as well.
Moreover, this is their last match at home this season and would be looking to end their season in front of the home crowd on a high.
Kolkata Knight Riders - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Phil Salt is the man in form for KKR this season opening the innings. He has so far scored 429 runs in 11 innings at an average of 42.9 and a strike rate of 183.3 with four fifties to his name.
He has also smashed 50 fours and 23 sixes so far this season. With another flat pitch expected at the Eden Gardens, Salt will be looking to add more runs to his tally.

Kolkata Knight Riders - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Sunil Narine is the best bowler for KKR. He has picked 14 wickets so far in 11 matches and has completed his spell of four overs in every game.
His economy of 6.61 is the best in the season after Jasprit Bumrah. KKR will be hoping that their premier bowler bowls yet another match-winning spell for the side as they aim to finish in top two in IPL 2024.

Mumbai Indians Preview
This is the penultimate game for Mumbai Indians this season and they will be keen on pulling one back after losing to KKR in the previous face-off. The team has struggled this year under new captain Hardik Pandya but played arguably their best cricket against SRH in the last outing. But it won’t be easy for them to beat the in-form KKR side who are the title contenders this time around.
Mumbai Indians - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Suryakumar Yadav has returned to his best, a little too late for the Mumbai Indians. The man slammed a brilliant century in the chase and he will be keen on continuing in the same vein with the bat. Surya has so far scored 334 runs in nine innings at an average of 41.75 with one century and three fifties to his name.
Top Batter Stats - Recent Matches
| Player | MAT | R | BT. AVG | SR |

Mumbai Indians - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Jasprit Bumrah is the purple cap holder this season and despite the team’s poor show, his bowling has been top notch so far. Bumrah has been near unplayable this season and has picked up 18 wickets so far in 12 matches while sending down 47.5 overs conceding runs at an economy of only 6.2 with a five-wicket haul to his name as well.

KKR Vs MI - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
The team winning the toss will opt to bowl first in this clash between KKR and MI at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Chasing is the way to go at this venue with the dew expected to come into play later in the evening.
KKR Vs MI Venue, Pitch and Weather Report
This is the last match of the season in Kolkata. Four out of six matches have been won by teams bowling first and the trend should continue even in this encounter. Today’s cricket betting odds will be in the favour of KKR looking at their current form.
The weather forecast is not great for this match either with rain expected to play spoilsport during the match with the temperature likely to be around 28 Degrees Celsius.
KKR Vs MI Match Winner Prediction
Kolkata Knight Riders are expected to win this match against Mumbai Indians and continue their recent dominance over the five-time champions. KKR have won eight matches so far while MI have just won four and it looks unlikely that Hardik Pandya and Co will be able to go past the Knight Riders at their home ground.
