Second win for Mumbai
They started the campaign with two losses and have bounced back to register two straight wins now, to go up to eighth place on the points table, by overtaking SRH. Things have started to fall in place for Mumbai, especially in their batting; Kishan is hammering boundaries, Tilak was scoring runs already, and Rohit and Suryakumar are back among the runs again before the big hitters Tim David and Cam Green.
They took a big risk today by playing two inexperienced left-arm quicks in Arjun Tendulkar (for his IPL debut) and Duan Jansen, but it didn't hurt them as much as only Venkatesh Iyer got going for KKR. Chawla stepped up again with his experience, and so did the younger Hrithik Shokeen.
KKR, meanwhile, continue to suffer at the hands of Mumbai, especially at Wankhede. They have beaten Mumbai on this ground just once in 10 games in the IPL. Overall too, Mumbai have dominated the head to heads with 23 wins out of 32 games.
