Mumbai Indians will host Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Monday (March 31) – here's what the Betfair Sportsbook’s odds for the match MI vs KKR are.
After losing their tournament opener, against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at home, KKR turned things around with a comfortable win against the Rajasthan Royals at Guwahati. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have lost both matches, against the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans, but now they will play their first match at home. They are also traditionally slow starters.
MI hold a 23-11 record against KKR. Their win-loss ratio of 2.090 is the best among any pair of teams that have faced off at least 30 times. At Wankhede, the record reads 9-2 in MI’s favour. At the same time, KKR has won four of the last five clashes between the sides including the last two. A contest between history and form, then.
MI seek elusive win
Despite having power-packed line-ups, MI are yet to cross 160 in the 2025 IPL, something they would want to address. On paper, that line-up looks formidable, and they are not known for knee-jerk reactions anyway. KKR, too, do not seem to have an obvious problem, and are likely to stick to the same core.
In Betfair Sportsbook's odds, defending champions KKR (11/10) hold an edge over five-time champions MI (8/11).
Which batters will go big?
On a high-scoring venue, expect the batters to run riot. On a high-scoring pitch, MI’s Suryakumar Yadav, the unsurprisingly has the best batting odds (9/2) for the match.
“SKY” is followed by teammate Tilak Varma (11/2), KKR opener Quinton de Kock (6/1), and former MI captain Rohit Sharma (13/2) on Betfair Sportsbook.
