Mumbai Indians Vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata are a very hard team to size up, they've played some decent cricket and some shocking stuff, Shoaib was their match winner against Delhi lto and he's likely to spearhead the attack with Ishant Sharma.Skipper Ganguly will carry Kolkata's batting again, Hussey has done ok but they've really missed Brad Hodge who would have beefed up the batting.
Mumbai imo have potentially the best top 3 batsman out of any team, Tendulkar is proven class and has given Shoaib a hammering in the past in IND/PAK matches. Jayasuriya showed us what he's been doing for years last time out with a commanding, dominant display. Also Robin Uthappa at 3 is a class act, a player so far who has reached plenty of 30's and 40's but is due a big score soon. Shaun Pollock bowled like a beast against Chennai, his 4 overs yielding 1 wicket for just 9 runs
. Think Nehra needs to buck his ideas up though, has the ability to take wickets but can also be expensive.Kulkarni will also add something different to the attack which still misses premium indian off-spinner, Harbajhan Singh.
Mumbai Indians WIN @ 4/6
