Mumbai Indians will be looking to get their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign back on track when they face Kolkata Knight Riders this evening. The defending champions suffered a shock defeat to newcomers Rising Pune Supergiants in their opening game on Saturday. Meanwhile, Kolkata will be eyeing a second consecutive win to take an early lead in the eight-team points table. Their chances have been boosted by the return of spinner Sunil Narine, who’s been cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for having a suspect bowling action.
