MI vs KKR 12th IPL Match: The 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be played between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday 31th March. This match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India.
Mumbai will be coming into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats and will be looking to get back on the winning track. Their first defeat was at the hands of CSK in Chennai and they then suffered another defeat, this time against GT at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Kolkata Knight Riders started their campaign with a defeat, however, they are high on confidence after their win in their previous match..
Satyanarayana Raju - Satyanarayana Raju bowled one of the slowest deliveries in the Indian Premier League during the IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The bowler surprised Gujarat's Jos Buttler by bowling a back-of-the-hand variation in the 13th over of the innings. Hence, Mumbai can look at him as an impact player
Robin Minz - Batsman Robin Minj got out after scoring 3 runs in both the matches. Robin was fielded as an impact player against Gujarat Titans and he failed there too. In such a situation, if Mumbai has to return to the winning track, then Robin Minj can be tried once again as an impact player.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi - Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been in good form in his two matches in IPL 2025 and should feature against Mumbai. If KKR bowl first, he could emerge as an impact player.
Varun Chakravarthy. - KKR's real strength lies in their spin attack which includes mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who has the ability to stifle opposition batting even on good wickets. Chakravarthy will be one of the key players for KKR who will be expected to be an impact player.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Impact Players: Angkrish Raghuvanshi / Varun Chakravarthy
Who will win today IPL match between MI vs KKR?: Players like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine can play a key role in breaking MI's momentum in the powerplay and middle overs. The absence of Jasprit Bumrah is another big blow for Mumbai, whose absence has been felt so far. KKR seems to be a more balanced team, but MI's performance on home ground is different.
MI has the upper hand, especially at home, but KKR's recent win at Wankhede and their momentum can make this contest close. Kolkata defeated them twice last season. Kolkata Knight Riders have looked in good form in recent matches, they are strong contenders to win the match.
