KKR vs MI Match Preview
The table toppers Kolkata Knight Riders are set to host the already eliminated Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
KKR have won 8 games, claimed 16 points and the top spot after their 11 outings, and now the Shreyas Iyer-led side will be aiming to win the match number 60 against Mumbai Indians to become the first team to book a playoff berth.

Jasprit Bumrah has been MI’s lone consistent player in bowling department, while Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav also played some decent cricket, but it hasn’t been enough to guide the team win plenty of games.
