VIVO IPL 2021, Match 5: KKR vs MI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Team, Playing 11, Pitch Report, Weather Conditions and Injury Update

Match Preview for KKR vs MI Dream11 Contest:

Match 5 of the VIVO IPL 2021 will be played between the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Chepauk in Chennai on April 13th at 07:30 PM IST.

For the ninth time in a row, defending champions MI lost their opening game of the IPL season, this time against RCB on the very last ball. KKR, on the other hand, have had a great start to their campaign with a win over SRH.

KKR vs MI Dream11 Prediction:

As far as head-to-head is concerned, MI have had the wood over KKR as no other side has beaten them as many times as the defending champions have. This certainly gives them the edge to bounce back in IPL 2021 with their first win.

Weather Report:

A warm evening is expected with the temperature expected to be around 29 degrees. The humidity as expected in this part of the world will be as high as 63%. But there might also be a gentle breeze blowing at about 18 kmph.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Chepauk has been traditionally good for batting while the ball is hard and new. If there is no dew later in the game, the pitch would tend to slow down and assist the spinners more. Anything in excess of 170 might prove to be a match-winning score.

KKR Probable Playing XI:

Rahul Tripathi, Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan (c), Shakib Al Hasan, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Andre Russell, Pat Cummins, Harbhajan Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Varun Chakravarthy.

MI Probable Playing XI:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Piyush Chawla, Marco Jansen, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah.

Captain: Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav looked to be in top form but unfortunately couldn’t make his great start of 31 count. He will be itching to go out there and get a big score this time.

Vice-captain: Jasprit Bumrah

In the opening game where most of the MI bowlers looked rusty and out of ideas, Jasprit Bumrah proved why he is considered world-class by bowling economically and picking up two wickets. He will definitely be an exciting vice-captaincy option.
