Indian Premier League: Game 14
Stadium: Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium
Kolkata coming up with all the good fortunes and playing exceptionally well in the tournament go up against Mumbai who is yet to open their account in this year's edition of IPL. The teams will be fighting for very different reasons, but their end goal is the same. History says that Kolkata have won only seven out of 29 matches in between them throughout the IPL.

Kolkata had a very topsy Turvey tournament so far. They won the first game handsomely against CSK, lost the second game against RCB, and came back strongly to win their third game against Punjab. Currently sitting at the second spot in the table, they will be looking to get some consistency going to sustain themselves on the top half of the table. They will be boosted by the return of Pat Cummins to the dressing room.
Kolkata Knight Riders Predicted Lineup
Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Sam Billings (wk), Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
Mumbai Indians
Mumbai will be looking to get going in this edition of the IPL. They have lost both of their matches in the tournament and are currently sitting in the eighth position in the championship. Like CSK they are lacking in experience at key moments and decision making which they have to improve as soon as possible. All eyes will again be on Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma and who are in good form.
Mumbai Indians Predicted Lineup:
Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Jaydev Unadkat
