Mumbai Indians 8/10
Kolkata Knight Riders 11/10
Selections:
Kolkata Knight Riders win at 11/10
There is nothing on current form that suggests KKR should not be favourites for this game and they are very much in the playoff mix whereas I think Mumbai have mentally accepted they are not going to make it and this may take the edge off.

Top Mumbai Indians Bowler Jasprit Bumrah at 16/10
The danger with backing Bumrah is that teams try and play him out without losing wickets but I am hoping the Knight Riders try and attack him opening up wicket taking opportunities.
Player of the Match Suni Narine at 7/1
He is capable of being a match winner with bat and ball and has looked in great form in this tournament.
