Kolkata Knight Riders will face Mumbai Indians in the 14th match of the Tata IPL 2022 on April 6th at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.

Kolkata has won 2 of their 3 matches so far in the Tata IPL 2022, but this is set to be their hardest test. They’ve only won 7 of their 29 games against Mumbai, and they’ll be hoping to change that. Pat Cumminsarrived at the Kolkatatraining camp recently and will be eligible for selection. It would be interesting to see how the team manages to get him into the playing 11.

If we look at Mumbai’s situation, they have yet to win a game in the competition. MI’s hitters failed to chase down a 194-run total in their last encounter against RR, losing by 23 runs. Suryakumar Yadav will be included in the playing 11 for this game, bolstering their middle-order.
