KKR vs MI Dream11 Grand League Team, Team News: IPL 2019

Kolkata Knight Riders after slumping to six straight defeats are in jeopardy of finishing among the top four as they are currently placed at the sixth position on the points table. They will next face the three-time champions Mumbai Indians for their 12th game of the season.

Mumbai Indians who notched up their second win over Chennai Super Kings of this season are raring with confidence as they have now grabbed the second spot in the points table. They will head to the Eden to daunt Kolkata Knight Riders who haven’t won a single game at home from the last seven.

A win here and Mumbai will grab the numero uno position on the points table as they have a far better net run-rate than the current toppers Chennai Super Kings. On the other hand, a win for KKr will keep their hopes alive in the tournament, but a loss and KKR will pack their bags.
