KKR vs MI, IPL Toss Result: Today's match players list, teams & umpires for Match 14
According to the IPL 2022 schedule,The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 14 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Wednesday. Kolkata have begun the season in impressive fashion, registering wins in two of their first three games. In contrast, Mumbai are still looking for their first points, having tasted two defeats.
In their previous match, Kolkata thumped the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six wickets. Umesh Yadav was brilliant yet again with four wickets while Tim Southee claimed a couple as Kolkata restricted Punjab to 137. Kolkata’s spinners have also been excellent. Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine choked the opposition once more. The batting is a concern, though. They needed an Andre Russell special to lift them to victory against Punjab.
For MI, bowling is a major issue. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no bowler looks like a certainty in the playing XI. Mumbai conceded 177 against Delhi and 193 against Rajasthan. The batting department, which is stronger in comparison, will have to lift its game.
