IPL 2017 Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians, Match 7 Preview: Can Malinga stop the KKR juggernaut?

IPL 2017, KKR v MI: Mumbai will look for inspiration from their captain Rohit Sharma as the bowling department looks far settled but batting looks slender

By whatever we have seen till now, Kolkata Knight Riders seem to be the most dangerous side in the tournament after they humbled a equally good side in Gujarat Lions in their own backyard. But what stood out was the way they won the match. Today, high on confidence KKR take on Mumbai Indians, who lost their first match. Mumbai Indians, one have to be vary of Chris Lynn’s striking ability. He was murderous in the last match, hitting 8 sixes. Even a decent score of 184 looked to little as KKR won the match with about five overs to spare.

Mumbai will look for inspiration from their captain Rohit Sharma as the bowling department looks far settled but the batting looks slender and weak. The match starts at 8:00pm, it is the second match of the double-header Sunday.

Match time: 8:00 IST
