Mumbai Indians return to Eden Gardens after a long hiatus, aiming to salvage some pride in a disappointing IPL 2024 campaign. Kolkata Knight Riders, in contrast, seek to strengthen their playoff bid with a confident stance. KKR’s strong powerplay batting contrasts with MI’s struggles, with the former boasting impressive performances from Phil Salt and Sunil Narine. Despite KKR’s consistency, MI’s recent win over Sunrisers Hyderabad offers a glimmer of hope for a strong finish amidst their batting woes.
