Five-time champions Mumbai Indians began their campaign with defeats against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and the Wankhede respectively. Their trip to Delhi however, proved fruitful as they produced an all-round show to defeat the Capitals by six wickets, with skipper Rohit Sharma rising to the occasion with a fine half-century and Tim David and Cameron Green finishing the game.
KKR, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of a narrow defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring game at the Eden Gardens on Friday. KKR, who hammered RCB by 81 runs at home before pulling off an unlikely victory over Gujarat Titans thanks to one Rinku Singh, fell short of the massive 229-run target set by SRH despite fighting half-centuries from skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku.
Though Mumbai dominates the head-to-head rivalry against Kolkata, KKR will be buoyed by the fact that they managed to defeat MI twice last season — the first time they managed to pull off a season double against the most successful side in the history of the league.
