Do Mumbai Indians stand a chance against Kolkata Knight Riders today? The best allrounder of this season of the IPL (Sunil Narine) will be facing the most over-rated allrounder of the season (Harpik Pandya) in today's match at the Eden Gardens. Apart from Rinku Singh, most of the KKR players are in prime form, including Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Phil Salt and Mitchell Starc. On the other hand, Pandya himself is out of form, and the same can be said about Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav.
Yes they do stand a chance today as Mumbai Indians have started well in a rain delayed match. In the 16th over match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders have already lost 3 wickets and they have not yet even reached the 50 runs mark.
Sunil Narine was stunned by the yorker bowled by Bumrah and he was out the first ball he played. Kolkata Knight Riders are on the top of the table with 16 points and yet i am not accepting this type of performance by them in this match.
Do teams already in the playoffs can afford to relax in games left or should they be better going to the playoffs with the winning streak ???Kolkata Knight Riders are talking this match very lightly and i think this should not be the approach.
Bumrah snares Narine for a duck after delayed startAfter a good amount of rain at Eden Gardens, the match was finally started and is in process. Here now we are seeing that Kolkata Knight Riders are leading and may be finished as the winner. The overs are 16 in this match in which 8 overs were also passed, inside these 8 overs, Kolkata Knight Riders made the very huge runs.
Those runs would not be easy to chase by Mumbai Indians for sure because the easy targets were not chased by Mumbai Indians in 20 overs against the easy teams in previous matches, even those teams also don’t have good bowling attacks so how they can chase this huge target. If here Mumbai Indian bowlers start to play good and out them in the low score then Mumbai Indians might win this match but chances seem slim for this to happen.
