The prediction is tilted a little heavily in the favour of Mumbai Indians because their captain Rohit Sharma has enjoyed playing against this opposition in the IPL career and has several match winning knocks. Also, with the match being hosted in the red soil pitch of Wankhede, the pitch will have some extra bounce which will not work in favour of KKR who have a poor record against short balls and bouncers. Although KKR has some crafty spinners up in their ranks and if they get in the game, they can overturn the small factors and bring the game in to their favour. IPL 2023 Points Table Updated With Net Run Rate

In 31 meetings in the IPL, Mumbai won 22 times with KKR winning only 9 times. In the recent past KKR has covered some lost ground back with winning 3 times out of their last 4 meetings since 2022.
