Dimensions
The capacity of the DY Patil Stadium. The stadium has a seating capacity of 55,000 people, making it Mumbai’s largest stadium in terms of power.
Pitch & Condition
Dr DY Patil Sports Academy has one of India’s best batting surfaces. The ball is easy to hit, and the fast outfield provides plenty of scoring opportunities for the batters. Fast bowlers have struggled at this venue because the wicket offers little to them. Spinners thrive on this track because the ball turns sharply. 
The par score is expected to be in the range of 170-180.
The temperature will be around 33 degrees Celsius, with little chance of precipitation. The humidity and wind speed are expected to be about 69 per cent and 24 kilometres per hour, respectively.
Toss Prediction
The team chasing the score has won four of the last five games. The wicket is ideal for tracking big scores, and teams have historically struggled to post a winning score at this venue. The team that wins the toss will undoubtedly bowl first.
According to toss prediction, MI will win the toss and bowl first.

Team Analysis
Mumbai Indians
The performance of openers Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan in the recent game is a tremendous relief for the team, as their lack of form has been a significant factor in their defeat. Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Kieron Pollard contribute to the middle order. Tim David appeared in the last game and joined Daniel Sams in the batting lineup. Daniel Sams bowled brilliantly in the previous game, and he and Jasprit Bumrah will seek to take early wickets. Murugan Ashwin and Riley Meredith both looked good, and the team would like to see more of them. Because the KKR have a good batting lineup, Kumar Kartikeya and Pollard will have to play well in support roles.
Top players to bet on- Tim David, Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Baba Indrajith and Aaron Finch will need to get off to a good start in this game since KKR has failed to find the right opening duo this season. Shreyas Iyer has been inconsistent, and he will have to anchor the middle-order alongside Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana. Down the order, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are playing well, which will boost the team’s confidence coming into this must-win game. Umesh Yadav is expected to return here, bolstering the bowling attack as he opens alongside Tim Southee. Narine has been the team’s finest bowler, and he’ll have to keep things under control in the middle innings. Russell has also been in fantastic form, and the team will need him, along with Anukul Roy and Harshit Rana, to be at their best.
Top players to bet on – Andre Russell, Aaron Finch, Sunil Narine.
