Kolkata Knight Riders v Mumbai Indians (KKR v MI) Prediction & Betting Tips

Guys, get ready for the biggest opportunity on the Earth to loot bookies with IPL. This is the event which we all have been waiting for.

Without much ado let's go straight to the milking machine.

It's very unlikely that Sunil Narine will play and without him KKR will be half of their strength. He alone has been winner in almost 90% of the wins for KKR. KKR are a very solid unit and can't be taken lightly. Only 3 players from KKR squad played in the WC so most of them will be caught napping. Umesh Yadev has been right on money but he will find hard to keep it on the stumps when all hell break lose which always does in IPL. Shakib and SK Yadav will be main trump card for KKR on slow and turning pitch. Last year Sunil was impressive at home ground. In batting department Uthappa has been impressive last year and this year too I expect him to lead the attack. I'm not keen to back Gambhir though. Shakib & Doeschate are good in middle and SK Yadav can do some serious damage with this mindless batting.

Overall KKR are still a formidable unit provided they get their momentum in the very first match.

MI are not a bad team, the only problem with them is that most of the players are unpredictable and if no one fires then they become a total mess in all departments. Like KKR only 3 players - Rohit, Malinga and Finch - have been in the WC in action and all of them are dangerous. Malinga is yet to return to his full former glory but he still can be deadly accurate with his toe breaking yorkers. Fear him in death overs. My biggest concern with MI team is their batting. And I would be reluctant to back their batting.

Trading strategy
==============
After a dull WC where we couldn't get good odds on fav team here is our biggest opportunity to trade as odds for KKR are 1.80 just touching 2.0 and it could be an excellent opportunity to apply Tarazu.

If KKR bat first then keep backing them all the way till interval. Even if they loose quick wickets early don't stop backing them. They will recover later and even if they score below par they have enough bowling power to make run chase difficult.

Start with your 50% of bank by backing KKR first if they are batting first and with every wicket fall and odds going above 1.8 keep backing them with remaining 10% of bank balance. At interval either hedge to make profit on both sides or you can continue in chase if you wish.

If MI bat first then it's going to be a total mess with trading. So be careful in this case. In this case keep backing KKR as well. Morkel & Malinga are not going to let MI go after them so expect some tight overs. Even if these bowlers don't restrict KKR then after power play spinners will strangle MI.

I'll be with KKR from start to the end.

I'll provide more inputs one the teams are finalized and will also publish score reports.

Top Batsmen market - KKR
======================
Last year I traded this market on Paddy Power (Click here to open account and get £50 Free Bet) and it was profitable. I've developed a tool which shows me top batsmen for any team in all IPL seasons. Based on that I pick 3 top batsmen from a team where 3-5 batsmen have dominated in run scoring. My strike rate has been over 80% with this strategy which is a profitable strategy by the end of season.

For this match I'll pick Gambhir, Uthappa & Manish Pandey. Odds for all of them will be above 3 so if any of these three is top batsmen then I'll be in profit.

No clear picture for MI so avoid them for this market throughout the tournament.

Betting Adda ne to match suru hone se pahle hi KKR to winner declare ker diya. Koi bhi MI ko nahi support kar reha hai. Ek hisab se sahi hai prediction lekin MI ko itna bhi kamjoor mat le yaaron. MI ka bhav achha hai MI ko le ke bhi khel sakte hao bhav ek baar to jarur neeche aayega. KKR ke favour me ek tarfa match nahi jayega suru se. Mein to MI ko fav le ke kehlunga. MI pahle batting karti hai to bhav jarur neeche aayega. Visphotak ballebaaz hain MI ki team me ek to saala jamega hi powerplay ya death overs me. Jaise hi ek jam jata hai le ke chipka do MI ko.

I'm KKR supporter but I'm backing MI as they have excellent records both against kkr and at Eden Gardens.

Here are some stats
In IPL KKR's records against MI is not too good. It's 10 wins for MI out of 14 times they have played each other. At Eden Gardens MI have even more impressive record of winning 6 out of 7 matches they have played here so far. Add to that another disappointing stat for KKR, in 9 out of 14 matches Gambhir an average of 9.89 with 27 runs as highest.

The only good news for KKR is that they have got better of MI in previous 2 meetings.

Weather is not looking too good, yesterday it rained for a while before opening ceremony and light shower is predicted today evening too. There might be some disruption or may be a complete washout, you never can trust weatherman and we all know when it rains in India it really rains a lot.

chalo satoriyon Ganesh ji ki puja karke lhol do book aur suru ho jawo maal kamane me. Kaun kaun hai live trading me? apni apni hazari dedo.

Sahi hai shuruat dhang se hui. KKR ka purana wala formula lag reha hai. Toss jeet ke pahle bowling karo aur daba do batting team ko fir aram se chase kar lo.

Lo bhai log, match abhi suru nahi hua aur apna 10% ka mast profit ban gaya. 1.84 par lagaya tha KKR ko aur abhi down ho ke 1.74 mil gaya. Bohni ho gayi.

Chalo bhai counting suru kar do, ek gaya tel lene.

Sunil Naraine ko bacha ke rekha hai Gambhir ne, Shakib ko laga diya duty par.

Aaya raam gaya raam suru, ek aur damdar profit mil gaya. 3rd innings ki tayari ho rahi humari ab.

Sunil ke do bache hain, usake baad dhunai suru ho sakti hai.

sutta time out ;)

Bohut sahi ki hai captaincy Gambhir ne, Sunil ko hata liya aur baad me layega jab firing suru hogi.

Yadav ji ki dhunai ho gayi.

Excellent innings by Sharma and what a recovery it was for MI. They must be very happy with such score. It's now 50-50 match. I had 3 strikes and my book closes now.

Done and dusted.
