Mumbai Indians (MI) are going to host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 22 of IPL 2023 at iconic Wankhede cricket stadium. This will be the first game of the Sunday double-header. MI are coming into this game after a brilliant win over Delhi Capitals (DC). With Roht Sharma among the runs already, MI look a solid batting lineup suddenly. One of the concerns for them however is the form of Suryakumar Yadav, who has had a tough time with the bat since the ODI series vs Australia. SKY scored another golden duck in the game vs DC, which is his fourth in 6 games. MI will hope Surya's poor run ends against KKR at their homeground.
On the other hand, KKR suffered a defeat in hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), two night ago. Captain Nitish Rana said, after the loss, that they are still a confident side and will be aiming for a win against Mumbai to get their campaign back on track. KKR's little worry can be the top order. They could be tempted to bring in Jason Roy in place of Afghanistan's Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the opening slot. Promoting Rinku Singh up the order can also be a good decision, knowing the good form the talented batter is in right now.
