Big flops of MI
Hardik Pandya made a comeback in this match, who was sitting out of the last 3 matches. He was able to score 26 runs in 27 balls, whereas Rohit Sharma could score only 15 runs. Suryakumar Yadav got the start, hit 2 fours and a six, but he also walked away after scoring 15 runs in 6 balls. Whereas Corbin Bosch worked to save the honor of MI, who scored 32 runs in 18 balls.
It is very important for Kolkata Knight Riders to win this match. Since KKR needs to improve its net run rate. If Kolkata chases the target of 148 runs in 13.3 overs, then its net run rate will be better than Punjab Kings and it will come fourth in the table with 13 points.
Saurabh Dubey, Cameron Green and Karthik Tyagi took two wickets each for Kolkata. Sunil Narine took only one wicket, but gave only 13 runs in 4 overs. Mumbai batsmen were seen struggling to score runs against him.
