Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns against Mumbai Indians in Match 65 of IPL 2026. The exciting clash will be played at Eden Gardens on Wednesday, May 20.
As the IPL 2026 playoff race gets more intense, KKR, led by Ajinkya Rahane, are still fighting for a place in the top four. The Kolkata-based side had a poor start to the season; however, they have made a brilliant comeback in recent matches.
Notably, KKR have won five of their last six games and are now carrying strong momentum. At present, they are placed eighth in the points table, and therefore, a victory against MI could greatly improve their playoff chances.

The five-time champions are currently ninth in the standings with only eight points. Even so, MI will aim to finish their campaign on a positive note and play for pride.
