KKR vs MI IPL 2016 Match Preview

Two teams play against each other with an uncanny similarity. Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, both were featured in a one-sided match in IPL 2016. The only difference is, Mumbai Indians were on the losing side against Rising Pune Supergiants and Kolkata Knight Riders were the winners against Delhi Daredevils. Let us see who wins out of these two tonight at the Eden Gardens. Watch KKR vs MI IPL match live streaming on HotStar mobile app. Catch the live telecast on Sony ESPN HD, Sony Six and Sony Max TV channels with live Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali and English commentary.

Kolkata Knight Riders, with a big win under their belt will play today's match as favourites. Home ground, crowd support and high at confidence - three factors that make them the favourites tonight. KKR captain Gautam Gambhir, who is hardly seen smiling wore a smile after defeating Delhi Daredevils on Sunday. This is what a win does to you! That not only brought joy but a sense of relief on his face. KKR were at the top of points tally after 12 matches and suddenly they lost way to finish on the fifth spot. They couldn't even qualify for the knock out stage. 

Kolkata's pitch would certainly support the spinners. Piyush Chawla and Brad Hogg did a perfect job in last match. With the mystery spinner Narine available for the match, Gautam Gambhir will have to make some changes in the playing XI. Noteworthy, Sunil Narine has two four wicket hauls against Mumbai Indians.

On the flip side, Rohit Sharma has scored the highest individual score for all the KKR vs MI contests. He scored 109 runs off 60 balls at the Eden Gardens. So he would love to bat here again! Kolkata team would be wary of this fact.

As far as the head to head stats is concerned, Mumbai Indians are far ahead. Out of the 16 KKR vs MI matches, Mumbai Indians have won 11. With spin a friendly option on the Eden Garden's pitch, Harbhajan Singh would be eager to bowl. As far as the batting is concerned, the impetus shifts to Rohit Sharma, Simmons, Pollard and Butler. They need to score this time if they have to get rid of the slow 'winning starts' they generally have in the recently concluded IPLs.

We have another exciting match coming up tomorrow. CSK team mates will lock horns against each other in the form of Gujarat Lions vs Rising Pune Supergiants match.

Kolkata Knight Riders have seen better days under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. A win loss record of 16-24 was improved to 44-33 under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir. Not to forget, Kolkata Knight Riders have won IPL twice under Gambhir. 

Delhi Daredevils have always pitched in strong players but never manged to win the trophy. They finished 2012 IPL as table toppers, but it was KKR who clinched the title in 2012. Last three seasons have been really bad for the Daredevils. They finished in the bottom two these three years. 

As it happened every single year, Kolkata Knight Riders will rely heavily on Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa and Manish Pandey to score runs at the top. The bowling department will be spin heavy with the likes of Sunil Narine and Piyush Chawla.

For Delhi Daredevils, Zaheer Khan would be the new captain. He would receive a good support from the likes of team members like JP Duminy, Quinton de Kock, Shreyas Iyer, Chris Morris and Amit Mishra. The sensational player who won loads of hearts in the T20 world cup, Carlos Brathwaite will also be a part of Delhi Daredevils this year.

Head to head, KKR leads the numbers 9-6 against Delhi Daredevils. Last year, KKR emerged as winners in both the matches against Delhi Daredevils. Let us wait and watch, who would win today's match.
