MI vs KKR Dream11 Prediction: A high-profile encounter on the cards in the city of Mumbai as the iconic Wankhede Stadium will host the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders in match number two of IPL 2026 on Sunday. Hardik Pandya-led MI will look to shed their image of being the perennial late bloomers of the tournament by getting off to a winning start.
While Kolkata Knight Riders will seek to replicate their campaign from the 2024 edition, where they emerged as undisputed champions.
Toss: The match toss between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders will take place at 7 PM IST.
Time: March 29, 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Wicket-keepers: Finn Allen (vc), Quinton de Kock
Batters: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Ajinkya Rahane, Manish Pandey
All-rounder: Hardik Pandya, Cameron Green (c), Sunil Narine
Bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult
The match will be live telecast on the JioHotstar app and website, with telecast available on the Star Sports Network.
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium will assist pacers with some swing on offer initially, but it will last for the first few overs only. Some grass covering on the wicket, but it is only there to hold the surface. Winning the toss and chasing is the best chance for anyone to win on this ground with the inevitable dew factor.
