The Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians will collide at Eden Gardens in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. With MI (9th) already eliminated from Playoff contention, we’re leaning toward a victory for KKR (8th) as our main prediction.
It’s the last chance saloon for the Kolkata Knight Riders. With 11 points on the board and two games left to play, their Playoff hopes will be brought to an end if they lose this match.
However, KKR have had a much better second-half of the season, as all five of their wins have come in their last six games, with a defeat to defending champs RCB being the only exception.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been the team’s best batsman this season, currently on 422 runs in 12 innings. Kartik Tyagi is their leading wicket-taker with 16 scalps so far.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians have been the biggest disappointment in the 2026 IPL, as their Playoff hopes were ended with three games left to play in the league stage.
MI did win their last match, though, beating the Punjab Kings by six wickets on Thursday, thanks to excellent knocks from Rohit Sharma (84 off 44) and Ryan Rickelton (83 off 32).
The Mumbai Indians beat this opponent earlier this season by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium.
