MI vs KKR Dream11 Grand League Team, Team News: IPL 2019

The final league of Indian Premier League 2019 will witness a pulsating clash between two champion sides. The three-time champions Mumbai Indians will collide against the two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders at their home ground in Wankhede.

Stakes will be high for the visitors KKR who are just one win away from booking a place into the playoffs. Although their record against Mumbai is nothing to be proud of but the grit they have shown in their last two games against MI at home, and Kings XI Punjab away from home makes them a force to be reckoned with.

Mumbai Indians meanwhile, are in a happy space as they are already through to the playoffs and a loss here would not harm them. However, if the dice rolls in their favor and they script a win here, they could end their league stage among the top two spots which will give them one more chance to feature in the final.

Which team will prevail in this palpitate contest? Can KKR make it to the playoffs, or will Mumbai Indians maintain their supremacy over them? We will get the answers tonight.
