Kolkata Knight Riders are in the 6th spot in the league table and in fact, are also on a six-game losing streak. The team is in terrible form, and it is shocking to see how things have turned around for a franchise who was a genuine favourite to win it all at the start of the campaign. The side really needs to get their grip on things or else their free fall will see them lose yet another tie, and end up being the last placed side for this season in the IPL.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians are flying high and it seems that their team is once again operating at their highest. The franchise is coming off a great win over their bitter rivals and defending champions in Chennai Super Kings, and it will be interesting to see if they are going to be able to usurp them for the top spot before the playoffs. There are only three games left in the season, and that objective isn’t going to happen if the team even losses one of these fixtures from this point forth.
