In a thrilling match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 season, Kolkata Knight Riders emerged victorious with a 24-run win at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The match was filled with ups and downs as both teams fought hard to secure the win.
KKR was bundled out for 169 runs in 19.5 overs, with Venkatesh Iyer top-scoring with a brilliant 70-run knock. Manish Pandey also contributed with 42 runs to help KKR set a target of 170 runs for Mumbai Indians. In response, MI’s Suryakumar Yadav played a lone ranger innings of 56 runs, but once he departed, the rest of the batting order crumbled under the pressure of KKR’s pacers.
MI’s pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Nuwan Thushara impressed with three wickets each, but it was Mitchell Starc who starred with a four-wicket haul to help KKR secure their first win at the Wankhede in 12 years.
With this win, Kolkata Knight Riders continue their unbeaten run in the IPL and look promising to reach the playoffs in this edition. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, are struggling with three consecutive losses and will need to regroup to keep their playoff hopes alive.
