Mumbai Indians scored 155/6 runs in their 20 overs. score isn’t bad for MI, but may not be enough if dew decides to make life difficult for bowlers. A lot of eyebrows were raised when Morgan bowled 4 overs of spin in the powerplay and finished both his mystery bowlers inside 12 overs, but that move turned out to be great because the MI batters were overcautious against the tweakers and lost quick wickets looking to attack the rest of the pacers. Rohit and QdK managed a great powerplay at 56/0, but once Narine got Ro, MI lost their way. Prasidh coming back strong by getting SKY and QdK after a poor first over. Lockie was pretty good with his pace and yorkers too. Despite Russell having a poor day and two huge overs from Prasidh, MI only managed to get a par score. The pitch is still good to bat for the willing. Of course there’s a bit of spongy bounce and playing on the rise hasn’t been easy. MI need a good powerplay with the ball too to make it tough for KKR. Quinton de Kock scored 55 of 42 balls and skipper Rohit Sharma scored 33 of 30 balls. For KKR Lockie Ferguson and Prasidh Krishna picks 2 wickets each.
INNINGS BREAK!

Kolkata Knight Riders successfully chased down the target by scoring in 159/3 in 15.1 overs and won the game by 7 wickets and reach at the four spot of the points table. So that was quick. And rather clinical, especially against your longtime bully. And it’s just the sheer audacity of a 26-year-old playing only his second IPL game that’s done it for KKR. Venkatesh Iyer wasn’t nursing past scars. So he came out, cut loose immediately and went after everything, and everyone. Pace, spin, lack of pace, everything. Rahul Tripathi was an able partner-in-crime, making sure the tempo didn’t slow down after Gill fell, as he kept tonking it from the other side. To be fair, KKR’s bowlers did claw it back in the second half of Mumbai’s innings, reducing them from what looked like a certain 180 to a pretty undercooked 155. Still, given the history of their grand choke in Chennai and their sudden jump to fourth spot in the points table, KKR will be proud. It was quite strange from Rohit Sharma in his strategies to hold Rahul Chahar back until the eighth over, and use Bumrah for only one over inside the powerplay despite all the carnage. It was almost as if he was waiting for a collapse. Nah, it never came. Rahul Tripathi scored 74* of 42 balls and Venkatesh Iyer scored 53 of 30 balls. For MI Jasprit Bumrah pick all 3 wickets for 43 runs in his 4 overs quota.
Another all-round performance ๐ช
Another incredible win for @KKRiders as they beat #MumbaiIndians by 7 wickets ๐
