IPL 2019, Match 47 – KKR vs MI: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

If there was one thing to avoid, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) would’ve hoped to skip playing with Mumbai Indians (MI). Their record against the Rohit Sharma-led side is not so good and play them twice out of the three games left in the league stage. While MI look set to qualify for the playoffs, KKR are struggling completely with a six-match losing streak. They need to win their remaining three matches and then hope for other results to go their way to have a chance of going through.

It seems like KKR’s woes are not ending any time soon. They botched up a strong position against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and can now become the first team to be knocked out of the tournament. The changes in their line-up look inevitable and Kuldeep Yadav is likely to come in for Prasidh Krishna after a two-game break. Matt Kelly might also make his IPL debut at the expense of Carlos Brathwaite whose role doesn’t seem to be clear at the moment. MI will most likely go unchanged after their victory over CSK at the Chepauk.

Match Details:

The 47th game of the IPL between RR and SRH will be hosted by the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

The match starts at 08:00 PM local time (14:30 GMT).

The game will be live on Star Sports in India. (Live streaming on Hotstar).

Weather Conditions

The temperature will be hovering around 29-30 degrees Celsius in Kolkata during the game. There will be a lot of humidity and the dew will also play an important role, especially in the second innings. Whichever team bats first, they will have to score 20 runs more in order to negate the effect of dew. No wonder, the team winning the toss will opt to field.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Eden wicket looked different in the previous encounter. The new ball moved around but the conditions got easier to bat on after the first few overs. Teams have to plan accordingly and if they manage to do that, another high-scoring game will be on the cards. Chasing will be preferred without a doubt.

Average first-innings score: 196 – 4 night IPL matches in 2019
