Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians prediction

After a tough first-half to the league stage, KKR have now enjoyed four victories in five matches. They need to win their final two games and hope pretty much every result goes their way, including the weather perhaps even getting involved on their behalf.

They take on a Mumbai Indians side that have struggled throughout this campaign but they did earn their fourth win, and second in three matches, as they chased 201 down against the Punjab Kings the other day, with an excellent unbeaten 75 hit by Tilak Varma.

The Mumbai Indians head to Eden Gardens in reasonable and improved form but KKR are rallying, perhaps too late, and should be the side sided with here.
