It's been a remarkable turnaround for Kolkata as they claw their way back into this nail-biter of a game securing two vital points and becoming the first team to qualify for the playoffs. This match epitomizes Mumbai's season as they suffer their 9th loss.
After a promising end with the ball Mumbai's openers immediately seized control effortlessly finding boundaries at will. The chase seemed well within reach highlighted by a formidable 65-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
However their momentum faltered when spin entered the fray leading to the quick dismissals of both openers and momentarily stalling the chase. Despite efforts from Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma to stabilize Mumbai's fortunes plummeted with Surya Kumar's departure followed swiftly by skipper Hardik Pandya's dismissal leaving their hopes shattered as wickets continued to fall.
Although Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir made valiant attempts to revive the innings the target proved insurmountable following the loss of crucial wickets in the middle overs.
To summarize the chase. KKR pacers = 95/4 in 9 overs. Their spin-duo = 38/3 in 7 overs. At the end of 5 overs MI were 59/0 and seemed firm favourites to complete the target. However 6 overs of spin outside the powerplay turned things upside down for the visitors.
Rohit struggled to connect a few and most of the MI batters found it tough to get going against spin due to the sticky nature of the surface. Tilak tried his best but there was just too much to do at the end despite a breezy 6-ball 17 cameo from Dhir. All in all KKR manage a much-needed win and given their high-flying NRR it is highly likely that they might well finish in the top 2.
