The best match in the Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders head to head.
KKR batted first in this topsy-turvy contest and smashed 232 runs in their 20 overs. KKR got off to a decent start, with opener Shubman Gill scoring a half-century. KKR only lost 2 wickets in their entire innings and maintained a great run rate throughout the innings. After losing Shubman Gill and Chris Lynn, Andre Russell stepped up and smashed 80 runs off just 40 balls, including eight sixes and six fours. They set up a huge total for MI to chase down.
In the second innings, MI could have gotten off to a better start as they lost their top order cheaply. It was a one man show in Hardik Pandya. MI continued to pile on the runs, with Hardik Pandya smashing a blistering 91 off just 34 balls, including nine sixes. He smashed the KKR bowlers all over the park; however, it was too late, as they fell short by 34 runs.
This match was memorable for Hardik Pandya's valiant effort and Andre Russell's breath taking innings, which almost took KKR to a remarkable win. It was a great example of the unpredictability of T20 cricket and how even a seemingly impossible total can be chased down with some explosive batting.
Can KKR improve their record against the MI, or will MI continue to dominate KKR? The 2023 MI vs KKR head to head contest will have the answers to that question.
