​19:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians.

MI too have lost two consecutive games and suddenly find themselves in a place a top-two finish is still not guaranteed. Kolkata need to win to take their tally to 18, same as their opponents and remain in contention for a second-place finish, as it will give them the privilege of getting two shots at making the final. At the same time, both sides will keep an eye on Rising Pune Supergiant, who have two matches to go and could well end up with 20 points.

To make matter worse, KKR have lost four matches in a row against Mumbai in a lopsided 5-14 overall record. Their winning percentage of 26.31 against Mumbai is also the least among teams with a minimum of five matches. Kolkata, however, have the best net run-rate (+0.729) among the still-to-be-qualified teams.
