Kolkata Knight Riders will take on Mumbai Indians in the 14th Match of IPL 2022. Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune will host this fixture on Wednesday, April 6. The fourteenth match of the season will see Kolkata Knight Riders take on Mumbai Indians for the first time in the current season. KKR is currently ranked second whereas MI stands in the eighth position.
KKR won the toss and chose to bowl, stopping Punjab Kings on 137 runs and taking all of their wickets thanks to Umesh Yadav’s incredible performance, in which he took four wickets for only 23 runs and helped his side win the match.
MI lost their previous match against RR, losing two games in a row while chasing a 193-run target. Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma both scored half-centuries, but MI only managed 170 runs after losing 8 wickets. They are missing Suryakumar Yadav, so the middle order appears to be very weak and has failed to overcome any total so far.
