IPL 2022: MI vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Possible Playing 11, Match Prediction

Mumbai, May 8: Mumbai Indians will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in match number 56 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Monday (May 9) at Dr DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.

Mumbai Indians have been officially eliminated from the playoffs race and the five-time champions became the first team of the season to miss out. The Rohit Sharma-led side has just two wins in 10 games and will be looking to play for pride in their remaining matches.

After losing eight games on the trot, Mumbai Indians have won two consecutive games in the tournament.

Kolkata Knight Riders - who had a tumultuous journey in the season - suffered a humiliating 75-run defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants after getting bundled out for 101 in the run chase of 177.

The Shreyas Iyer-led side faltered in all three departments of the game but it was KKR's batting that was a big letdown. Their batting struggled from the onset of the run chase. They still can keep them in the playoffs race if they go on to win their remaining games.

Here is Dream11 Prediction, Possible Playing 11, and Match Prediction for the MI vs KKR match.
