Pre-Match Analysis:
Kolkata Knight Riders are in devastating form at the moment, winning three matches on the trot. Interestingly two of them came away from home which puts them above other teams. They breached Wankhede for the first time in 12 years to hand Mumbai Indians a 24-run loss and followed it up with a massive 98-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Sunil Narine went berserk once again with 39 balls 81 and with the assistance of collective batting efforts from others they reached 235 for 6 at the end of 20 overs, their sixth excess score of 200 this season.
In response, the bowlers put up a top-notch show to restrict the home side to a modest 137 runs where Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy made the most of the impact, picking up 3 wickets apiece. With 8 wins and 3 losses, they are placed at the pole position in the standings with 16 points.
Mumbai Indians felt overwhelmed with utmost joy when they thrashed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets at home but a couple of days later they were knocked out of the tournament when Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets margin. Suryakumar Yadav played his best knock of the tournament, scoring 102* runs to hand the 5-time champions their 4th victory in the competition.
It’s not the kind of year they would be remembering for long as they completely went wrong with their management decisions rather than on-field performances. With two games in hand, they will be playing for pride and want to end their campaign with back-to-back wins. Currently, they positioned themselves 8th in the standings with 8 points.
