MI vs KKR: Kolkata Knight Riders would be looking to grab a crucial win when they take on Mumbai Indians in the 56th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday (May 09) at Dr DY Patil Stadium.
The five-time champions have seen a horrible season as they have won just 2 out of 10 matches and are languishing at the bottom of the points table. They managed to defeat the table-toppers Gujarat Titans in the last game by 5 runs after scoring 177 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. They would be looking to sustain their winning momentum and spoil the fate of other teams.
Last year’s runner up Kolkata Knight Riders is on the brink of elimination. They endured a massive loss against the Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent encounter as they failed to chase the score of 177 and were bundled out for just 101 runs. They are sitting in the number 8th position in the points table currently and from here on they need to win their remaining games with a huge margin to stay in the contention of the playoff race.

MI vs KKR Pitch Report
The wicket at Dr DY Patil Stadium will offer assistance to the quick bowlers in the initial hours of the game. However, as the game proceeds, spinners will come into the picture. The batters will have to set their foot before going for big shots. We have already seen a couple of high scoring games at this venue and the same is expected on Monday. Considering the dew factor, both teams will look to bowl first after winning the toss.
