Now the scenario is different, the Mumbai side back on winner’s circle, while Kolkata are still doubtful about their playing combinations.

MI vs KKR Match Prediction power play scores:
Mumbai Indians’ openers are in good form and will look to take the batting pitch advantage by scoring well during the power play overs. While Kolkata Knight Riders lack in that department as they don’t have reliable openers and aggressive batters up the order except Aaron Finch, who is out of form. If Mumbai bats first, their power play score is likely to be 50-55 runs. Kolkata can score somewhere around 40-45 runs.
MI vs KKR predicted death overs scores:
The wicket is good for batting and both the team batters will try their best to score as many runs as possible during the death overs. The batters in both the teams have potential to hit big shots in the final overs and considering that we can expect both sides would score 40-45 runs in the death overs.
MI vs KKR predicted overall score:
Mumbai Indians rely on their batting, and except Kieron Pollard all are in good form, so we might expect the overall score in the range of 190-200. Kolkata Knight Riders can face some challenges if their openers again failed to give them a good start but if their middle order batters do good then they can also reach to somewhere around 170-180.
Who will win Today’s IPL Match between MI vs KKR?
It’s a do or die match for the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, their chances to qualify for the playoffs are unlikely if they win all of their remaining matches, but they will try to win to alive their hopes. Mumbai Indians, on the other side, were the first team knocked out from the playoffs race after they faced 8 consecutive defeats, but after winning their last 2 games they are now looking good and will play this game as favourites.

MI vs KKR Today Match Prediction
The bottom of the table team Mumbai Indians, who won only 2 out 10 games so far in this season, have an edge over the inconsistent Kolkata Knight Riders side, as after witnessing 8 defeats in a row MI won their last 2 games and looking confident, while Kolkata even after playing 10 games, they are yet to find the perfect combinations who can won games for the team.
