Jasprit Bumrah was the most economical bowler with a record of 4-0-17-0, however he was unable to secure any wickets. A ray of hope was offered by Hardik Pandya’s outstanding performance (4-0-26-2), but MI mainly depended on team bowling efforts to take the game to the last over while defending a modest mark. MI will be depending on their bowlers to keep up their current form and their top-order batsmen to provide more assistance.
On the other hand, Philip Salt had an outstanding innings in KKR’s previous game, scoring 68 off just 33 balls, which allowed KKR to chase the game early. With assistance from additional batters, KKR easily reached the mark in 17 overs. In terms of bowling, Varun Chakravarthy’s outstanding session (4-0-16-3) was crucial in limiting Delhi Capitals to a respectable score of 153, while other bowlers also contributed with strong efforts.
