Kolkata Knight Riders maintain second spot with a 24-run win over Mumbai Indians 

MI vs KKR Highlights

Kolkata Knight Riders recorded their seventh win in IPL 2024 after defeating Mumbai Indians by 24 runs to maintain their second spot on the points table. 

The match was not a usual IPL 2024 game, as KKR while batting first, only managed to post 169, and with target was not at all big at Wankhede, it was KKR’s bowling line up that completely outplayed the batters.

Mitchell Starc, the highest paid cricket in the history of IPL, starred with the ball for the tourists, as he bagged 4 wickets and played a big role to help his side win. 

MI vs KKR Highlights  

Invited Kolkata to bat first, Mumbai bowlers proved Pandya’s decision right by removing half of their side at 57 in 6.1 overs.  

Everyone was expecting another Salt and Narine masterclass at the batting friendly Wankhede’s pitch in Mumbai, but Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Thusara had some other plans, as he took the wickets of dangerous Phil Salt, Ankrish Raghuvanshi, and KKR’s skipper Shreyas Iyer.  

Hardik Pandya then joined the party and bowled Sunil Narine. Playing in his first match this season, the veteran Manish Pandey played a good knock and rescued the side from 57 to 140 before he walked back for 42.

Venkatesh Iyer scored the highest runs for the side, as his 52-ball 70 guided KKR to 169 in 20 overs.  

Jasprit Bumrah and Numan Thushara both took 3-3 wickets each. The premium bowler Bumrah only gave 18 runs in 3.5 overs and remained the most economical amongst all today.  

MI vs KKR Highlights: Mumbai Indians to chase 170 in 20 overs  

Chasing 170 at Wankhede was not a big deal for a batting unit featuring Rohit, Ishan, Hardik, SKY, and Tim David. 

But they faced another shock after losing their first 6 batters at 71.  

With 99 to win in 52 balls, Surya and David at the crease, MI still had the hopes to win at home venue.
