MI vs KKR Dream11 Prediction, 12th Match – IPL 2025, Fantasy Cricket Tips
Hello and Welcome to the MI vs KKR Dream11 Prediction for the 12th match of IPL 2025, where Mumbai Indians will face off against Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
It’s not often that you see Mumbai Indians sitting near the bottom of the points table, but that’s exactly where they are right now – second last, with 0 points after two straight losses.
They started their season with a 4-wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings, followed by a 36-run loss to Gujarat Titans.
Interestingly, Mumbai have now failed to win either of their first two matches in each of the last four IPL seasons, showing a consistent early-season struggle.
One of the biggest concerns for MI has been the form of Rohit Sharma, who has failed to deliver in both matches. His opening partner Ryan Rickelton hasn’t looked settled either, which has only added to the team’s top-order woes.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders have had a more balanced start to their campaign.
They’ve played two matches, losing their opener to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 7 wickets, but bouncing back strong with a dominant 8-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in their second game.
As both teams look to gain momentum, this clash at Wankhede is going to be crucial, especially for MI, who desperately need a win to stay in the early race for playoff spots.

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is known to be very good for batting. The surface has true bounce, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat, making it easier for stroke play.
At the same time, seamers can also benefit from the extra bounce, especially in the powerplay if they hit the right lengths.
Overall, it’s a well-balanced surface but slightly tilted in favor of batters, so a high-scoring match could be on the cards if the top order fires.
