Match 33 IPL 2013 –Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians
Date – Wed Apr 24
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Today in the 33rd match of Pepsi IPL 2013 defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will take on the Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens. KKR have won just 2 out of 6 games where as Mumbai has 3 wins out of 6 matches. Both teams need to win this match to move up the points table and to keep the hopes alive.
Mumbai who were demolished by Sehwag in the last match will be hoping KKR captain Gautam Gambhir does not repeat what Sehwag has done few days ago. Also an addition of Brendon McCullum instead of Yusuf Pathan at the top of the order may be worrying Mumbai.
On the other hand, despite having shown some form in the last match, Sachin Tendulkar has not been upto mark so far in the tournament. Fans will be hoping that on his 40th birthday, Sachin pleases them with his master blaster style.
If stats are to be seen, Mumbai are hot favorites as they have won 8 matches out of 10 played against Kolkata, but with the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik and others, KKR is capable of upsetting any IPL team.
