KKR are essentially through to the playoffs, sitting pretty atop the points table with 16 points and an A1 net run rate of +1.453 to their name. They'd be high on confidence after notching up three wins on the trot.
On the contrary, MI have had a gravely subpar season, managing to win only four out of their 12 games so far. They will be striving to redeem themselves and seek vengeance for the 24-run defeat they endured at the hands of the current table-toppers on their home turf just a week ago.

Pitch report
Runs have been abundant at Eden Gardens this year, and there's little indication that the trend will shift. Out of the six games played up to this point in Kolkata, teams batting second have secured triumph in four, whereas the two losses suffered by the chasing sides (SRH and RCB) were by hair-breadth margins of 4 runs and 1 run, respectively. Dew often makes its presence felt later in the night. There is an excessive heat warning in Kolkata with the temperature hovering around the 40°C during the day. The humidity will play a major factor as well.
