The performance of KKR's top four batters will be a major worry. Venkatesh Iyer has failed to
score in all three games, and Rahane has struggled to score after the first. Shreyas Iyer
appeared to be in good form, but threw it away, and Nitish Rana had a disastrous performance.
The Knights' middle-order duo of Sam Billings and Andre Russell has been outstanding. In this
encounter, KKR will be looking for its batsmen to stand up and play admirably.

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians have lost their first two games of the season. Mumbai is
known for starting slowly, but with ten teams now, there will be a lot of catching up to
accomplish. The Rajasthan Royals got the best of them in their latest encounter, defeating them
by 23 runs. The form of Rohit Sharma and the bowlers are the two main areas of concern for
MI.

PITCH AND STADIUM

Pune, like the rest of the grounds, is ideal for batting. Batters will enjoy themselves here
because the pitch is conducive to batting. There isn't much dew either, so the captains may be
tempted to win the toss and bat first. With the new ball, the pacers will have some help, and the
spinners will come into action as the game continues. The average first-inning score at Pune is
159 runs, and chasing teams have won 20 of the last 40 games.

TOP PICKS

1. Suryakumar Yadav

The right handed batter who will play at 3 will try to make an impact from his first match itself.
He was not available for the first 2 matches and MI must have missed his services. Anmolpreet
who was playing at 3 will make way for the experienced Surya.

2. Rohit Sharma
The indian skipper is always a must pick in any 11 as the whole india knows what rohit is
capable of. Any person making fantasy team would not want to leave Rohit out of squad.

3.Shreyas Iyer

The Indian middle order batsman and fearless captain is also another valuable pick. Although
he has not made a mark in the last three matches he has played but has shown spark and has
potential to turn the game upside on his own.

4.Andre russell

The Caribbean all rounder is always a valuable option for a team. The all rounder bowls medium
pace and also can finish the game with the bat. The star player scored 70 runs in the last match
and single handedly finished RCB.

HEAD TO HEAD

Mumbai Indians have won 22 of the 29 games in which the two teams have met so far, while
Kolkata has only won seven. Although this season is completely different but Mumbai Indians
has always dominated KKR.

Win Probability:

Kolkata knight riders 65 percent

Mumbai indians 35 percent
