Mumbai Ind♐ians (MI) continued their winning way in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018, beating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede stadium by 13 runs.
With this win, MI h♉as kept their chances of making to the playoffs alive. It was a controlled bowling performance on part of Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah that squeezed the life out a strong KKR lineup, who were set to chase 182 to win. Captain Dinesh Karthik played a valiant knock of 36 runs for K🌠KR.
Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav once again shined for MI, scoring a quick-fire 59. However, it was Sunil Narine an⛎d Andre Russell, who cramped down the hosts, picking 4 wickets between them to restrict their opponents to 181 for 4.
Here’s how fans reacted to the match:
This is a really imp win for they stay alive. s catch won them this game. Good for the tournament. 🗹will need to rethink Narine in the middle order. Doesn’t work.
