Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will look to strengthen their chances of a top two finish when they host Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 60 on IPL 2024 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday (May 11).
Shreyas Iyer-led first-placed KKR head into the match on the back of a thumping 98-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants, while ninth-placed MI led by Hardik Pandya are fresh from a 7-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.

In their most recent outing, Sunil Narine’s all-round show helped KKR defend 235 against LSG at the Eden Gardens, while MI rode on Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten century to chase down 174 against SRH at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
In the reverse fixture earlier this season, KKR ended a 12-year wait to win in Mumbai Indians’ home ground when they successfully defended a total of 169 after bowling out the hosts for 145 to seal a 24-run victory.
Despite being out of playoff race, MI will take confidence from their overall record against KKR when they clash for the 34th time in IPL history and for the eleventh time at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Here is a look at the KKR vs MI head to head records and stats:

KKR rode on Venkatesh Iyer’s 70 off 52 balls and Mitchell Starc’s 4-wicket haul to seal an impossible win when the two sides clashed in the reverse fixture in Mumbai earlier this season. MI could only get to 145 in response to KKR’s 169. Here is a look at MI vs KKR numbers:
