Former champions, Mumbai Indians (MI) take on defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match 51 of the 2015 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. KKR have already qualified for the playoffs as they sit comfortably on the top of the table, while MI are still in pursuit for a playoff berth. Live Updates: Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders
One must say that MI have done remarkably well to bounce back in the tournament and put themselves in a position where they have a chance to make it through. Starting off with four defeats, it was never going to be easy. They managed a string of victories before an AB de Villiers special demoralised them. Live Scorecard: Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders
With KKR playing their battery of four tweakers, it could mean that MI would have a tough task. Sunil Narine seems to be back in good form. Brad Hogg and Piyush Chawla have been good with their respective wrist-spin. Johan Botha keeps it tight with his fastish off-spin. Preview:Â Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders
