MI vs KKR
Mumbai Indians, who came into the match against KKR on Sunday after two back-to-back losses, proved why they are one of the most successful teams in the league as they first restricted KKR to a modest total of 116 on the batting-friendly wicket of Wankhede and then chased down the target in just 12.5 overs with eight wickets to spare to secure their first points of the season.
Earlier, MI won the toss and opted to field first. KKR’s start was less than ideal as they lost Sunil Narine (0) in the very first over. Quinton de Kock (1) soon followed him to the pavilion in the very next over. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (11) played a couple of big shots before losing his wicket to debutant Ashwani Kumar. To make matters worse, they also lost Venkatesh Iyer (3) cheaply to end the powerplay at 41 for 4.
MI skipper Hardik Pandya came into the attack after the powerplay and got the wicket of the dangerous-looking Angkrish Raghuvanshi (26) to keep MI well ahead in the match. The debutant Ashwani then returned to remove Rinku Singh (17), Manish Pandey (19) and Andre Russell (5) in back-to-back overs to reduce KKR to 88 for 8.
Vignesh Puther then dismissed Harshit Rana (4) to push KKR to the verge of being all out. Finally, Mitchell Santner claimed the last KKR wicket of Ramandeep Singh (22) to bundle the visitors out for just 116.
In reply, MI added 46 runs for the first wicket but Rohit Sharma (13) once again failed to score big and lost his wicket to Andre Russell, who also dismissed Will Jacks (16) to break a 45-run stand for the second wicket. Ryan Rickelton (62 not out) and Suryakumar Yadav (27 not out) then added an unbeaten 30-run partnership for the third wicket to take MI over the line with eight wickets and 43 balls to spare.
