Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders: Predicted Playing XIs

Here’s a look at the pitch conditions at Wankhede ahead of the match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders:
The surface at the Wankhede Stadium is quite a bit supportive for the spinners instead of batters. It would be very tough for the batters to post a big total but the dew factor could make it easy to chase the target in the second innings. Considering that, the team winning the toss will definitely want to bat first.
