The Indian Premier
League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Mumbai Indians clashing with
Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhade
Stadium, Mumbai. The contrast between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai
Indians was there to see on Monday. After a run of six consecutive wins, Knight
Riders lost their previous two games while Mumbai Indians racked up consecutive
wins.Both teams would want to finish in the top two to boost their chances of
making the final and avoid the eliminator.
Mumbai Indians :
Mumbai Indians return to Wankhede Stadium after two away games. They have lost
four out of seven home matches this season, and Harbhajan Singh has said that
they haven't known what to expect from the Wankhede pitch. Sachin Tendulkar
could miss the match as he is expected to take his oath as a Member of
Parliament in the Rajya Sabha in New Delhi.
Mumbai Indians' on-field behaviour has been appalling this
season. Last game Mumbai's Rayudu losing his entire match fee for his bust-up with
Harshal Patel of Royal Challengers. Munaf has, in fact, been downright boorish,
having arguments with umpires and several batsmen.Mumbai Indians have a home
win-loss ratio of 1.54 in the IPL; Knight Riders have an away win-loss ratio of
1.00. Mumbai's batting is always been struglling. Their openers not giving good
start to his team.

Kolkata Knight Riders
: Knight Riders' batting, dependent so much on Gautam Gambhir's golden run
this season. He's getting runs in every single inning. He's showing real class
in this IPL season. Gambhir has made six half-centuries this season. The rest
of his team mates have just contributed three.
While Jacques Kallis is usually a steady scorer, this season
has been a crawl even by his modest standards. A strike-rate of 104.94 in 13
innings has gone largely unnoticed due to Gambhir's brilliance. Kallis,
however, has taken 10 wickets at an economy-rate of 7.45. Mcculum is also giving good start to Kolkata
knight Riders, But he's struggling to score a big run. Both teams bowling
attack is good.
