Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, IPL 2024, MI vs KKR Live Score: Daren Ganga: “For this clash between Mumbai Indians and KKR, the conditions seem perfect for cricket. The boundary sizes vary, with the shorter square boundary measuring 60 meters to my right and 65 meters to the left. Down the ground, it’s 74 meters. Overall, the pitch looks conducive to good cricket.”
Michael Clarke: “From this end, the pitch appears dry, which could favour spin bowling. However, there’s potential for pace and bounce from the other end due to the even grass covering. Winning the toss will be crucial, especially with the expected dew. Both teams have their strengths, with Mumbai relying on their quicks and KKR favouring spinners. We can expect a high-scoring game with good batting conditions.”
