IPL 2023 weather update: Mumbai weather report on April 16 for today's MI vs KKR clash
Fans can expect an uninterrupted contest when Mumbai Indians (MI) lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 16.
KKR have blown hot and cold so far in IPL 2023, winning and losing two apiece. Kolkata lost their opening game against Punjab Kings (PBKS), before beating the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) in back-to-back matches.
Nitish Rana and Co. then lost their last game against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and are currently fifth in the IPL 2023 standings. However, KKR have played some competitive cricket this season and will hope to return to winning ways as soon as possible.
MI, on the other hand, have only won one out of their three games and are stranded in ninth spot. The five-time IPL champions got off the mark by beating Delhi Capitals (DC) after starting their campaign with two consecutive losses.
Although Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan showed glimpses of returning to form against DC, the think tank will be worried about Suryakumar Yadav's sub-par displays this season. MI will also be concerned over the fitness of Jofra Archer, who has missed the last two games because of a flare-up of an elbow injury.
