Having been sent into bat first, KKR got a competitive total of 165/9 in 20 overs. Venkatesh Iyer (43 off 24) opened the innings and got KKR off to a flier with his superb strokeplay! Nitish Rana (43 off 26) also contributed with the bat. When KKR batters were threatening to take their total towards the 200-run mark, MI pacer Jasprit Bumrah stepped up with a five-for - 5/10 from his 4 overs!
In reply, Mumbai ran out of firepower in the end as they were bowled out for just 113 runs conceding a 52-run victory to KKR. Ishan Kishan (51 off 43) scored his 3rd half-century of this season but his slow-paced knock couldn't do any good for MI in this game!
