Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are off to a rough start this season, having lost both their matches and finding themselves at the lower end of the table in ninth place. Their latest setback came against Gujarat Titans, where they struggled to chase 197 and ended up with 160-6 in Ahmedabad. The batting unit, which is usually a strong point for MI, hasnโ€™t quite clicked yet. Rohit Sharma is struggling for form, and there are no clear signs of a turnaround. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma have looked promising at times but havenโ€™t delivered a defining innings so far.  Hardik Pandya, meanwhile, found it tough to accelerate in the final overs against Gujarat, with slower cutters keeping him in checkโ€”something he will need to adjust to in upcoming games. On the bowling side, Mumbai have looked more settled. Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult will be relied upon to strike early, while Mitchell Santner and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are expected to keep things under control in the middle phase while picking up wickets.  Kolkata Knight Riders Preview After a disappointing start against RCB, Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back impressively, defeating Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets. On a sluggish track in Guwahati, they kept Rajasthan to a modest 151-9 and comfortably chased it down in 17.3 overs. Quinton de Kock anchored the innings with a superb unbeaten 97 off 61 deliveries. De Kockโ€™s return to form is a massive boost for KKR. He can take apart bowling attacks at the top and has the ability to bat deep. Having played plenty of cricket at Wankhede for MI, he knows the conditions well and averages 34 at this venue. Ajinkya Rahane could be another game-changer, given his experience here. He has piled up plenty of runs at this ground over the years.  KKRโ€™s batting lineup has solid options, including Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, and Rinku Singh. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who is expected to come in as an Impact Player, has already caught attention with his impressive performances and could be a game-changer in the upcoming matches. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is usually a flat deck with plenty of runs on offer. However, the ball does move around under lights and seamers will get assistance with the new ball in the first few overs. If batters can successfully negate that period, they can milk the bowling later on. Spinners usually donโ€™t get much turn or grip here and since this will be a fresh pitch, expect it to be hard and the slower bowlers to be carted around. The weather in Mumbai will be extremely humid and warm, but clear of any rain interruptions.  MI vs KKR Pitch Report The average score batting first at the Wankhede Stadium is 170. The highest total posted at the venue in the IPL is 235-1 by RCB versus MI back in 2015. Last season, four scores over 200 were posted at the venue, with the highest being Mumbai Indiansโ€™ 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals.ย  Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the safer option at Wankhede. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at the venue were won by the team batting first.

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 13th match of IPL 2025 in Lucknow. LSG recovered well from a disappointing start, securing a solid victory in their second outing. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, made a strong statement with a dominant performance in their opening game, proving theyโ€™re a team to watch this season. With both sides eager to build momentum, this contest is shaping up to be a high-intensity clash. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview After a heartbreaking 1-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals in their opening game, Lucknow Super Giants made a strong comeback by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad on their home turf. They restricted the Sunrisers to a modest 190-9 and chased it down in just 16.1 overs. Nicholas Pooran was the standout performer, hammering 70 off just 26 balls and putting the game beyond Hyderabadโ€™s reach within the first 10 overs. He has been in red-hot form for LSG, with his last five scores reading 48*(26), 61 (27), 75 (29), 75 (30), and 70 (26). Mitchell Marsh is another key player to keep an eye on. He smashed 52 off 31 in the last match, setting the foundation for the chase. If LSG wants to keep the momentum going, both Pooran and Marsh need to fire. Rishabh Pant and David Miller havenโ€™t made a huge mark yet, but theyโ€™ve spent enough time at the crease to suggest a big knock might be coming soon. Lucknowโ€™s bowling unit was impressive in their last outing. Shardul Thakur has been a game-changer, already picking up six wickets in two games. Young pacer Prince Yadav held his own, conceding just 29 runs in four overs while picking up a wicket. Ravi Bishnoi remains a potent threat in the middle overs and can change the course of a match in no time. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have only played one game so far but made a strong statement in that outing. They took down Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, putting up a massive 243-5 and keeping the hosts to 232-5 in a high-scoring contest. Shreyas Iyer made an immediate impact for his new team, hammering an unbeaten 97 off just 42 balls. Priyansh Arya (47 off 23) and Shashank Singh (44* off 16) also made valuable contributions with the bat. Punjab’s batting lineup looks dangerous this season. With Shreyas at number three and the firepower of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell in the middle order, they have a unit that can take apart any bowling attack. Shashank Singh, who played a quickfire knock in the opener, adds even more depth as a finisher. His ability to go hard from the start makes him a game-changer for Punjab. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium wonโ€™t be an outright belter but it would be good for batting like most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana does tend to slow down in the middle overs, which brings the spinners into the mix. If dew sets in, however, spinners might struggle to grip the ball and go for runs. The weather in Lucknow will be warm and humid, but since there is no sign of rain, we will have a full match. LSG vs PBKS Pitch Report The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 166. Last season, the highest score posted at the venue was Kolkata Knight Ridersโ€™ 235-6 versus Lucknow Super Giants, a game they won by 98 runs. That, incidentally, was the only 200+ score achieved at Ekana in IPL 2024 across 14 innings. Toss: To Bowl Chasing might be the better option at the Ekana Cricket Stadium as batting becomes easier in the second innings when dew sets in. In IPL 2024, four of the seven games played at this venue were won by the chasing side.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. GT vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will clash in the ninth match of IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad. Both sides are coming off losses in their first games and will be eager to grab their first points. The previous match at this venue saw over 450 runs being scored in 40 overs, and a similar high-scoring contest is expected. The team that attacks with the bat more aggressively is likely to gain the upper hand on this batting-friendly surface. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans started their campaign with a tough 11-run loss to Punjab Kings. The Narendra Modi Stadium played host to a run-fest, with Punjab smashing 243-5 after being sent in to bat. Gujarat fought hard in reply but couldnโ€™t get over the line. Sai Sudharsan (74 off 41) and Jos Buttler (54 off 33) were the bright spots with the bat. Shubman Gill also got off to a fast start but couldnโ€™t convert it into a big score. However, his record at this venue is outstandingโ€”he has nearly 1,000 runs in 19 matches at the venue, including three centuries. Gill will be expected to step up in this game. GTโ€™s lower middle order looks unreliable, with Shahrukh Khan, Sai Kishore, and Arshad Khan filling those slots. If Gujarat loses wickets early, they could be in serious trouble. Bowling is another area of concern. Mohammed Siraj struggled in the previous fixture, conceding 54 runs in his four-over spell. Kagiso Rabada is their most reliable pacer, but he canโ€™t do it alone. Rashid Khan also had an off day, going for 48 runs in his four overs. The only standout was Sai Kishore, who picked up three wickets for 30. Gujaratโ€™s bowling needs to step up, or theyโ€™ll have a tough time in the tournament. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians didnโ€™t have the best start to their IPL 2025 campaign, falling short in their opener against Chennai Super Kings. The low-scoring match at Chepauk saw Mumbai struggle on a sluggish pitch, with Tilak Varmaโ€™s 31 being the highest contribution. The final total of 155-9 wasnโ€™t enough, as CSK chased it down without much trouble. Ahmedabadโ€™s conditions, however, should be far more favorable for Mumbaiโ€™s batting lineup. With players like Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Suryakumar Yadav, theyโ€™ll be eager to make an impact on a pitch suited for stroke play. Adding to their strength is the return of captain Hardik Pandya, who had to sit out the first game due to an over-rate penalty from the previous season. Having played for Gujarat in 2022 and 2023, Pandya knows this surface inside out and can contribute with both bat and ball. Mumbaiโ€™s bowling attack will look to make early inroads with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leading the charge. Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner is expected to control the run flow in the middle overs while also providing wicket-taking opportunities. Meanwhile, young left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur, who impressed with 3-32 on debut, could again play a crucial role. Weather Conditions The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be a flat deck. In the previous game here, we saw batters making merry and hitting through the line with ease. There is hardly any assistance for fast bowlers and both teams will be looking to make as many runs as possible off them. Spinners will find some grip in the middle, but it wonโ€™t be much of an issue. The pitch will stay true throughout. The weather in Ahmedabad will be warm and clear with no forecast of rain. GT vs MI Pitch Report In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Punjab Kings amassed 243-5 after batting first and Gujarat Titans scored 232-5 in response โ€“ thatโ€™s a total of 475 runs in 40 overs! Expect another run-fest at the venue with more than 420 runs on the cards.  Toss: To Bat In the previous game played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the team batting first registered a comfortable win. Batting first, hence, seems to be to safer option here.

CSK vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis IPL’s 18th edition gets underway Saturday night amid growing fan enthusiasm. But the real fireworks start Sunday when Mumbai Indians clash with Chennai Super Kings in what many consider the marquee matchup of the early schedule. Each squad will be desperate to start strongly in this high-stakes rivalry match, as both cricket franchises are aiming to break new ground by securing what would be a record sixth IPL title for either organization. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will step into IPL 2025 with a revamped squad, a composed leader in Ruturaj Gaikwad, and a determination to get back to their best. The five-time champions fell short of a playoff spot last season and will be eager to turn things around. Gaikwad will anchor the batting lineup, bringing an impressive IPL track recordโ€”2380 runs in 65 innings at an average of 41.75 and a strike rate of 137. With two centuries and 18 half-centuries to his credit, he will be expected to set the tone at the top. Rachin Ravindra, who has been in excellent form, is likely to get the nod ahead of Devon Conway and open alongside Gaikwad. However, Gaikwadโ€™s T20 strike rate of 131.90 compared to Ravindraโ€™s 140.46 suggests a more measured approach early on, increasing the responsibility on the middle order to push the scoring rate. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians, tied with Chennai Super Kings as the most decorated team in IPL history, head into the 2025 season determined to bounce back from a tough campaign last year. Led by Hardik Pandya, they will be chasing a record-extending sixth title with a squad that blends experienced names with exciting new additions. The team will be looking to put past struggles behind them and make a strong push for success. The franchise kept its core intact with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Tilak Varma. They also made big moves in the Jeddah auction, bringing in Will Jacks from England, Trent Boult from New Zealand, South Africaโ€™s Ryan Rickelton, and experienced spinner Mitchell Santner. For their opening fixture, MI will be without Pandya due to a slow over-rate suspension from last season. Suryakumar Yadav will step in as captain. Although his recent numbers havenโ€™t been greatโ€”averaging under 30 in his last 17 T20 innings for Indiaโ€”his ability to turn games around remains unquestioned. A strong performance here could put him back in form. Weather Conditions Chepauk is usually known to be a spin-friendly surface which becomes slower in the second innings. However, looking at the last season here, the pitch tends to stay flat throughout, and dew probably won’t affect how the game unfolds. The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. We will get a full game.  CSK vs MI Pitch Report Chepaukโ€™s average first-innings score is 159, but recent seasons have seen a shift toward higher totals. In IPL 2024 alone, four scores crossed the 200-run mark at this venue. With the pitch favoring batters more than before, teams setting a target will likely aim for a competitive total in the range of 190-200 runs to feel confident. Toss: To Bat At Chepauk, teams that win the toss often choose to bat first. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game. By setting a competitive total early, teams can take advantage of the deteriorating conditions and make life difficult for their opponents.

SRH vs RR Match Prediction & Analysis It is the 2nd game of the Indian Premier League. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin their campaign as they take on the Rajasthan Royals. The Sunrisers enjoyed a good season last year but lost in the final against KKR. They play at home and shall look to leverage this advantage. The Rajasthan Royals lost in the 2nd Qualifier against the Sunrisers and shall aim to avenge that loss in this game.   The Sunrisers Hyderabad have an excellent record at this venue. Last season, they lost once at this venue and aim to build on this good record. They have defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last three games and shall take inspiration from those wins. The Rajasthan Royals lack teeth in the bowling attack, and it will be interesting to see if their batting lineup can compensate for it. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Pat Cummins and his men will be confident. They have a strong batting lineup and a quality attack for this season. The side dominated opponents at their home ground last season, and the players will draw inspiration from those wins. Cummins will look to lead from the front with the ball and make a solid start this season.  The side has an electrifying opening pair in Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. They will look to deliver a confident start. Ishan Kishan must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Nitish Reddy and Sachin Baby. Heinrich Klaasen is one of the best finishers in the world, and he will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order with Wiaan Mulder and Abhinav Manohar.  Rajasthan Royals Preview Sanju Samson is nursing a wound and won’t be available as the skipper for the first few games. Riyan Parag will take over the team’s captaincy and have a big challenge. The team has struggled against the Sunrisers in the last two seasons, coming here with three consecutive losses. It will be interesting to see if Parag can fill the void and guide his team to a winning start.  Sanju Samson will play as a batter and must deliver a good start in this game along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. The team has a strong middle order and expects partnerships between Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer is a good finisher, and he will look to add quick runs with Wanindu Hasaranga and Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the lower middle order.  The bowling attack will face a massive challenge as the Sunrisers Hyderabad have a strong batting lineup. Jofra Archer is the key bowler on the team, and he must strike early along with Sandeep Sharma. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana must deliver good spells in the middle overs and keep the scoring under check. The team will also expect Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande to do well in the supporting roles. Weather Conditions We expect slightly overcast skies over Hyderabad. The batting surface will be good, and batsmen can play their strokes freely. We saw 200+ scores for the team batting first four times last season. The side batting first would like to have more than 200 runs on the board in this game. SRH vs RR Pitch Report Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has excellent batting conditions. Batsmen have done, and they can hit through the line. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here. Toss: To Bat We have seen excellent batting surfaces at this venue. The wicket is flat at the start of the game, and batters can score runs freely. Bowlers have done well in the second innings when the ball starts turning, so the side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bat first.
