KKR look to make it two in two vs MI and line up top-two finish

Match details

Kolkata Knight Riders (1st; W8, L3) vs Mumbai Indians (9th; W4, L8)
Kolkata, 7.30pm IST (2pm GMT)

Big picture – KKR favourites against MI for a change

Do Mumbai Indians (MI) press the reset button and start preparing for IPL 2025? Or do they continue to field their best XI even though they have been eliminated from IPL 2024?One thought is that it’s better to rest key India players like Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya, especially with the T20 World Cup less than a month away. The other is that there is pride at stake, and there’s also a benefit in the World Cup-bound players facing tough opponents even if the team can’t make the top four.Related

One way or the other, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) shouldn’t care, not anymore.MI have always been their bogey team with a lopsided win-loss record – it’s 23-10 to MI overall and 7-3 to them at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens – but since KKR’s first win in 12 years at MI’s Wankhede Stadium home last week, and KKR’s superior form this season, they will have the upper hand going into them game.KKR are chasing a fourth win in a row and ninth overall this season, and if they move to 18 points, then they will formally have the “Q” next to their name. However, if they don’t, the two remaining league games away from home could feature some slightly nervous travellers. Ideally, they would like to firm up their place in the playoffs here and boost their chances of a top-two finish in what is their last home game.

Previous meeting

On May 3, KKR broke a 12-year jinx at Wankhede Stadium, when they recovered from 57 for 5 to beat MI by 24 runs. Venkatesh Iyer and impact player Manish Pandey dragged KKR to 169 before the spinners, Andre Russell and Mitchell Starc ran through MI.

Team news and Impact Player strategy

Kolkata Knight Riders
Why change a winning combination? KKR have been successful being ultra-aggressive with the bat, and the one day they didn’t – against MI – their bowlers bailed them out.The only consideration could be whether the fit-again Nitish Rana should come in, possible in place of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. But will that be one left-hand batter too many, with Sunil Narine, Venkatesh and Rinku Singh also in the line-up?Vaibhav Arora for a batter is the likeliest impact player swap.Likely XII: 1 Phil Salt (wk), 2 Sunil Narine, 3 , 4 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 5 Venkatesh Iyer, 6 Andre Russell, 7 Ramandeep Singh, 8 Rinku Singh, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Varun Chakravarthy, 11 Harshit Rana, 12 Mumbai Indians
This is MI’s first game since their elimination was confirmed. There are no suggestions of big names being rested, but if Bumrah is, then Akash Madhwal is the likeliest replacement. Allrounder Anshul Kamboj should get another game despite conceding 10.5 against Sunrisers Hyderabad on debut. MI did not need an impact player in that game as they won comfortably, but Piyush Chawla or Shreyas Gopal for a batter is the likely swap if needed.Likely XII: 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Ishan Kishan (wk), 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Naman Dhir, 5 Tilak Varma, 6 Hardik Pandya (capt), 7 Tim David, , 9 Anshul Kamboj, 10 Jasprit Bumrah/Akash Madhwal, 11 Nuwan Thushara, Mitchell Starc had a big say in the outcome when these two teams met last week•AFP/Getty Images

In the spotlight – Mitchell Starc and Rohit Sharma

As the playoffs approach, KKR will hope Mitchell Starc, the winner of two ODI World Cups and one T20 World Cup, brings his elite tournament-winning mentality to the franchise. He has been KKR’s most expensive player – not only when it comes to the paycheque, but also in terms of economy rate (11.37) – but his experience has helped young bowlers like Harshit Rana and Arora, as they have said during IPL 2024. His 4 for 33 against MI last week was his first big performance, and if the best version of Starc turns up, KKR will have all their holes plugged.Rohit Sharma, who will take one of two opening spots for India at the T20 World Cup, has scores of 36, 6, 8, 4, 11 and 4 since his century against Chennai Super Kings. If you take that century out, he has averaged only 20.45 in the other 11 games. The low average could be a factor in his new way of batting in the powerplay, and his strike rate of 152.77 reflects that, but five low scores in a row in a tournament where most of the other openers are feasting against the new ball is a concern.

Stats that matter

  • MI have lost nine of their last 13 away games (across 2023 and 2024), and have the lowest away win percentage (30.7) of all the teams in this period.
  • MI’s overseas players have the second-poorest bowling average (43.6) and economy rate (11.04) and the second-poorest batting average (21.1) in IPL 2024.
  • Rohit has been dismissed by Narine ten times in 25 T20s, averaging 18.7 and scoring at 107.5 against the spinner.
  • Narine has a batting strike rate of 117 between overs 1-3 in the powerplay, but it shoots up to 245 between overs 4-6. Should MI use Bumrah early against him? Bumrah bowled overs 2, 14, 18 and 20 the last time they met.

Pitch and conditions

Expect a batting-friendly surface, but rain this past week in Kolkata may make the outfield sluggish. More rain is expected on Saturday, so chances of a curtailed game or even a washout can’t be ruled out.

Quotes

“The intention is not to give a statement [to other teams] but play good cricket. Good cricket will always be rewarded. We don’t have any edge over Mumbai Indians, they are a champion side, and no way we can take them lightly.”

Hayden: 'Nothing else I've ever seen' matches India-Pakistan rivalry

Matthew Hayden, Pakistan’s new batting consultant, sees Babar Azam as the premier batter everyone at the T20 World Cup will be targeting. Hayden also mentioned “leadership” as one key factor in the UAE conditions, saying matches will be a “real dogfight” and the Pakistan captain has the command and presence to impose himself.”Babar obviously has his own role to play not only in terms of leadership but as a premier batter,” Hayden said. “Because as you’ve seen through the IPL, the two dominant captains here in the UAE, MS Dhoni, a World Cup winner and [Eoin] Morgan, a World Cup winner…even though their individual performances weren’t as good as what they have previously done within their own statistical record. But the way that they led their troops and conduct themselves is an important part of the UAE because as I mentioned, it’s not one side, it’s not necessarily going to run away with it here. It’s a real dogfight.”The conditions and the margins for errors are very little and so good leadership is going to be key. I think Babar has that and commands that presence and that role and he needs to fulfil that role and in a batting sense as well. He, I think, is the premium player and he will be targeted. He will also be the person that everyone is wanting to put in his pocket. There’s going to be additional pressure on him, both as a captain and also as a batsman. I sense that the way that he goes about it is going to be spot on.”Pakistan begin their campaign with a much hyped game against arch-rivals India on October 24 in Dubai. So far India have a 100% winning record against Pakistan in all ODI and T20 World Cups but there was one instance when the two teams tied the league game in the 2007 T20 World Cup before India won the bowl-out. When asked about being in one of the dressing rooms for such a rivalry, Hayden recalled his time playing for Australia in the Ashes against their biggest rival, England.”For Australia, it’s England as the old guard, as they would say,” he said. “I mean, you could argue that England versus anyone considering that at various stages we’ve been ruled by the kingdom of the UK and cricket wouldn’t be on our shores if it hadn’t been for that. But nothing else that I’ve ever seen throughout various elements of the game that I’ve been a part of ever matches the rivalry between India and Pakistan.”There is an obvious pressure, as there is an obvious pressure against England if you’re an Australian. The pressure, though, is only as much as what you allow it to be. All that can be done is done. Your preparation is there. Your experience is there. Your opportunity now becomes a very history-making opportunity.”I sense that our players are ready for that opportunity, and I sense that there is a calmness around our group that wants us to be a successful competitor on the day. So all that is done is done and now it’s the opportunity of playing the game.”Matthew Hayden: “If you look at the way that even Fakhar is going about his preparations for this, not to single him out, but to look at the way that he has extended himself in the two warm-up matches, it’s exciting to think what can happen•AFP/Getty Images

Hayden retired in 2009 and has had only limited coaching experience so far. He has taken up occasional work in the media and as a commentator, and his assignment with Pakistan at the World Cup will be his first major coaching assignment.”Calmness is maybe something that (I want to bring in),” Hayden said . “A sense of calmness and control of remaining very present in play because World Cups are such a challenging thing and playing multiple World Cups has been such an important part of my life. One of the things that I’ve learned is that for whatever reason, you’re always under pressure so you don’t need to create it. You know, pressure environments are additional to what the game demands, so to remain calm, that’ll be the one thing.”Hayden watched a lot of the Indian players “closely” while commentating during the IPL in the UAE and said KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are two batters Pakistan should watch out for.”I’ve been watching Indian cricket closely for some time,” Hayden said. “As I’ve just mentioned, I more or less watch KL Rahul, for example, who’s a major threat to Pakistan. Seeing his struggles with Test matches versus his dominance in the shorter formats of the game. Seeing someone like Rishabh Pant with his cheeky smile and his brash nature and his beautiful vision for the game. Watching how he destroyed bowling attacks because he’s got that opportunity and sees it that way. Individually, I think it’s always fantastic to see how players perform in a pressure match.”This (Pakistan) camp has got some wonderful assets that will perform on the day that are ready to perform. If you look at the way that even Fakhar [Zaman] is going about his preparations for this, not to single him out, but look at the way that he has extended himself in the two warm-up matches, it’s exciting to think what can happen, in a few days’ time versus India. Babar at No. 2 and Rizwan in the top three…you know, such a critical part of performances here in the UAE.”Generally speaking, when the powerplay has been such a significant part of T20 cricket in the UAE and there have been a few exceptions, but most sides that win the powerplay win the match and you don’t necessarily win the powerplay by being overly aggressive. So I think that we have a very strong batting combination, including Hafeez as well. That knowledge and that wisdom and that ability to be able to build and create opportunities at the top of the order is certainly among our batting strengths. Big totals here are never going to be achieved. You know, the two 200-plus totals I feel are going to be … it would take something extraordinary on the day for that to happen.”

Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis resign from Pakistan coaching roles

Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis have stepped down from their positions as head coach and bowling coach of the national men’s team respectively. Misbah cited spending “considerable time away from my family in a bio-secure environment” because of Covid-19-related restrictions as the reason for his decision, while Waqar said that since he and Misbah had started out in their roles together, it made sense to also step away together. With New Zealand scheduled to arrive in Pakistan for a white-ball series later this month, the PCB has appointed Saqlain Mushtaq and Abdul Razzaq as interim coaches of the team.Related

Misbah and Waqar communicated their decisions to the PCB on Monday morning, around the time the squads for the upcoming series against New Zealand and England at home, as well as the T20 World Cup, were made public. They had been appointed to their positions in September 2019, and still had a year left in their contracts.The influence of Ramiz Raja, the PCB chairman-in-waiting, is quite apparent in the development. Ramiz has been nominated by Imran Khan, Pakistan’s prime minister as well as the PCB’s patron-in-chief, to the Board of Governors, and although he is not the chairman officially until September 13, he has a direct involvement in the PCB’s affairs. He’s met with all the PCB departments already, and is believed to have had provided inputs for the ODI and T20I squads.”The quarantine in Jamaica post the West Indies series provided me with an opportunity to reflect on the past 24 months as well as the schedule for international cricket ahead,” Misbah said in a statement issued by the PCB. “Considering that I would have had to continue to spend considerable time away from my family and that too in a bio-secure environment, I have decided to step down from the role.”I understand that the timing may not be ideal but I don’t think I am in the right frame of mind for the upcoming challenges and it makes sense for someone fresh to step in and take the side forward.”The past 24 months have been thoroughly enjoyable and I want to thank my team and the management for their support. I wish the Pakistan cricket team best of luck in the upcoming events and will continue to support them every time they will take the field to represent Pakistan.”Waqar called his decision “straightforward” once he knew what Misbah was thinking.”After Misbah shared with me his decision and future plans, it was a straightforward one for me to resign as we had walked into the roles together, had worked collectively as a pair and now also step down together,” he said. “Working with the Pakistan bowlers, including the youngsters, has been most satisfying as they have now started to show progress. Bio-secure environments in the past 16 months have had their impact, something we had never experienced during our playing days.Abdul Razzaq and Saqlain Mushtaq, colleagues for a long time, will take charge of the Pakistan team for the time being•PA Photos/Getty Images

“The next eight months will be busy and exciting for the Pakistan team and, like in the past, I will continue to back and cheer them. I want to thank each and every member of the Pakistan cricket team set-up as we stayed united in good and bad days, and hope there will be more brighter days ahead.”Wasim Khan, the PCB’s chief executive, called Misbah and Waqar’s decision “honorable”, and said that Saqlain and Razzaq, who are both experienced coaches, were ready for the step up.”The PCB understands and respects Misbah’s decision. Cricket in this unprecedented bio-secure world has not been easy for anyone and Misbah has clearly taken into account the intense six months of non-stop cricket ahead,” Wasim said. “In the past 24 months, Misbah has given his very best to the team and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”It has been an honorable decision by Waqar and we thank him sincerely for his immense work and commitment over the past two years and wish him the very best in the future. Both Misbah and Waqar have given so much to Pakistan cricket over a long period of time and for that they deserve a huge amount of respect.”Saqlain is the Head of International Player Development at the National High Performance Centre, while Abdul Razzaq’s domestic side [Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but he had shifted to Central Punjab after that] won three titles in the 2020-21 season. Both Saqlain and Razzaq are ready to step-up and are very much looking forward to making important contributions in their coaching roles against New Zealand.”

Nic Maddinson and Holly Ferling move from Melbourne Stars to Renegades

Nic Maddinson and Holly Ferling have swapped Big Bash allegiances in Melbourne by moving from the Stars to the Renegades.Maddinson, the left-handed batter, has signed a three-year deal while seam bowler Ferling has penned a contract for the upcoming WBBL campaign.Both Renegades outfits are looking to revive their fortunes with the men’s team having finished bottom in the last two BBL seasons following their title in 2018-19 and the women’s side were seventh last season.Related

She’s played more than 60 WBBL matches now and represented Australia in every format of the game. She’ll be great for our younger players and a fantastic ambassador for the club.”Other recent Big Bash signings include Joe Burns’ move from Brisbane Heat to the Stars while fast bowler Lance Morris has switched from the Stars to Perth Scorchers and Nicole Bolton has moved from the Scorchers to Sydney Sixers.The WBBL is due to start on October 14 and the BBL on December 5.

Western Australia cruise to big win

Western Australia completed a nine-wicket thumping of Tasmania inside three days at Bellerive Oval to notch their third consecutive Sheffield Shield victory and pull back into contention for the competition final.Western Australia were again well served by their seam attack, the debutant Cameron Green added two wickets to his first-innings five while David Moody claimed four to help round up Tasmania’s second innings for 265, despite a firm rearguard effort from Simon Milenko that ensured the hosts would avoid an innings defeat.That left a target of only 54 for Western Australia to seal victory, with Hilton Cartwright wasting little time on the requirement after Cameron Bancroft fell to Milenko. Cartwright earned Man-of-the-Match honours for his first-innings 94 when batting conditions were at their most difficult.WA remain fifth on the table, but are now within an outright win of second place with three fixtures remaining.

Voges, Henriques back expanded Big Bash League

Adam Voges and Moises Henriques, captains of Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers respectively, have thrown their support behind the competition’s decision to expand ahead of its seventh edition next year.Cricket Australia announced on Friday that each team would play 10 games next season, two more than the first six editions of the tournament, taking the regular season programme from 32 to 40 overall. The expectation is that the tournament will not be elongated on the calendar, but that franchises will be encouraged to take matches to new cities in their states.Saturday’s BBL final is the 20th sellout of this season’s 35 games, with Perth Scorchers one of three clubs – alongside Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat – to sell every ticket to their home games. Hobart Hurricanes fell just short.Voges described the news, given such excellent crowds, as “inevitable”, while Henriques – who “had no idea it was coming” and found out on Twitter on Friday morning – said: “I’m sure the guys will love it. It’s fantastic, and to be playing more games under this sort of pressure, at this standard is only a good thing for state cricket.””[It’s a positive] As long as it doesn’t extend the season too much, but our last four games were played over 20 days or so, so there is enough time there to get a couple of extra games in,” Voges said. “We have sold out all our home games, so you’d hope that would be the same result.”CA is considering playing more daytime and twilight games, as well as having more days with two matches.”Personally I feel the BBL is the easiest part of the season for cricketers in terms of how you pull up with your body,” Henriques said. “The Shield season is harder, backing up for four days in a row. I feel they could compress the tournament even more, getting 10 games into the same amount of time we play now. I don’t see it being a huge issue, but we’ll find out next year.”Voges was not supportive, however, of CA’s discussions over naming the venue for the final in advance, although this is unsurprising ahead of a final at his team’s homeground, the WACA. Currently, the teams that finish first and second host the semi-finals. The highest-placed team to make the final hosts it. Scorchers finished top in the regular season.”I hope not,” Voges said. “We played a home final in Canberra a few years ago which was great because we won it, but I’d certainly have liked to have played here. No, I’d like to see the finals stay in the home state.”

Sunny and Cooper reported for suspect actions in BPL

Kevon Cooper and Arafat Sunny have been reported by the umpires for suspect bowling actions in the BPL.In the case of Sunny, Rangpur Riders’ left-arm spinner, one delivery, the first ball of the 19th over in Rangpur’s match against Rajshahi Kings on November 28, raised suspicion.Video footage of Khulna Titan’s allrounder Cooper’s bowling has been sent to the WICB, the BPL technical committee chairman Jalal Yunus said.”Sunny was reported once, in their last game [on November 28],” Yunus said. “The next step would be for the BCB’s bowling action review committee to analyse video footage of the delivery, which we will do soon after the end of the tournament. We have sent Cooper’s footage to the WICB.”Sunny was suspended for an illegal action during this year’s World T20 in March but cleared to bowl by the ICC in international cricket on September 23.After Sunny and Taskin Ahmed were suspended by the ICC, the BCB formed a bowling action review committee which found five bowlers to have illegal bowling actions during last season’s Dhaka Premier League.Yunus, who is also the chairman of the bowling action review committee, said that they will be stricter on suspected bowling actions.West Indies’ Cooper, too, was reported for a suspected bowling action during this year’s Pakistan Super League. Yunus said the BPL wanted to cases such as Cooper’s in future.”In the next BPL, we hope to do the video analysis of suspected bowling action during the tournament itself,” Yunus said. “We will also have to be aware of foreign players who has been reported previously, so that we can inform our franchises beforehand. We don’t want to have such bowlers in future tournaments.”

Delport, top order give Dolphins eight-wicket win

Cameron Delport’s all-round performance and Dolphins‘ top order steered them to a comfortable eight-wicket win against Knights in Bloemfontein, to earn their second win from five matches. Knights, on the other hand, suffered their third defeat in four matches.Knights’ openers Patrick Kruger and Andries Gous scored 28 each, after they opted to bat, but both were removed in Delport’s consecutive overs after the Powerplay. Captain Theunis de Bruyn then led them to a competitive 153 for 8 with an unbeaten 63 off 41. It was his fourth T20 fifty in his first match of the tournament and featured six fours and a six. Delport finished with 3 for 26.Dolphins hardly stuttered in their chase. They reached 50 in 5.1 overs but lost Delport for a 24-ball 36 on the next ball. Morne van Wyk, the other opener, and Cody Chetty combined for a commanding stand of 86 runs in only 11.1 overs to keep them ahead of the asking rate. Van Wyk fell for 56 of 43 in the 17th over and soon Khaya Zondo sealed the chase with a four in the penultimate over. Chetty was unbeaten on 46 off 38.Lions fell to a third loss in four games, with Christiaan Jonker helping Warriors breeze to their target of 153 with 13 balls and six wickets to spare. The win bumped Warriors up to No. 2 on the points table.Lions elected to bat and were off to a decent start, getting to 97 for 1 in the 15th. But none of their middle over could get going, and it was up to No. 3, Mangaliso Mosehle, who struck 49 off 28, to take the total past 150. JJ Smuts was the most effective of the Warriors bowlers: his left-arm spin accounted for both the openers after they were set, and he was miserly in taking 2 for 15 in his four.Smuts and Somila Seyibokwe laid the platform in the chase, before both were out in quick succession, and a couple more quick wickets followed to put the wobbles on Warriors. However, Jonker then launched his counterattack, thumping 49 off 18 with three fours and five sixes to seal the deal for Warriors.Titans v Cape Cobras in Centurion was a no result, with only 11 overs possible across both innings. The teams shared points, taking two each. The match was reduced to ten overs a side, and Cobras got to 115 for 4 in their allotment, with Richard Levi setting up the innings with 45 off 27 before Rory Kleinveldt put on the finishing touches with 28 off eight with four sixes. Titans could manage only one over in their reply, before play was called off.

WI women recall Chedean Nation after seven years

West Indies women have recalled Jamaican allrounder Chedean Nation after a gap of nearly seven years, for the ODIs and T20s in India next month. West Indies also recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Kycia Knight and medium-pacer Shakera Selman, both of whom were dropped for the home series against England.Nation, 29, last played international cricket in November 2009, against England at home, in both ODIs and T20Is. She has played 12 ODIs and five T20Is, and was named in an 18-member West Indies training squad for a camp in September, before the England series.Knight and Selman, who were part of the World T20 winning squad this year, had been dropped earlier this month and Anisa Mohammed had replaced Selman as the vice-captain. Even though Selman has returned, Mohammed continues to be the vice-captain for the India tour.West Indies will play three T20Is after three ODIs, which will count towards the ICC Women’s Championship, in India. The first ODI will start on November 10 and the last T20I on November 22; all six matches will be played in Vijayawada.West Indies are currently placed third with 22 points in the Women’s Championship table and India are sixth with 13 points.Squad: Stafanie Taylor (capt.), Anisa Mohammed (vice-capt.), Merissa Aguilleira (wk), Shemaine Campbelle, Shamilia Connell, Britney Cooper, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Kycia Knight, Hayley Matthews, Chedean Nation, Shaquana Quintyne, Shakera Selman, Tremayne Smartt
