2019 Indian Premier League(IPL) Season 12 - Match 47 Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Mumbai Indians @ Kolkata Sunday April 28,2019


Mumbai Indians will be eyeing the top spot in the 2019 Indian Premier League points table when they take on a depleted Kolkata Knight Riders side, who have lost their last six encounters

Mumbai have an outstanding record against Kolkata. They have an 18-5 head-to-head record against Kolkata and are on an eight-match winning streak against this side. The last time Kolkata got the better of Mumbai was in 2014. 

Mumbai have won seven out of their 11 games and recently beat Chennai Super Kings in their own backyard

At the moment nothing is going in favour of Kolkata, something that reminds of their disastrous show in 2009 when the team had lost nine in a row, in a 10-match winless run.

Dinesh Karthik's men have now lost six consecutive games and if they don't change their fate on Sunday, it would confirm their early departure

Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indian by 34 Runs

Match Result    KKR won by 34 Runs
MOM                Andre Russell(KKR)for his 80*(40 Balls 4x6 and 6x8)


Dominant performances from opener Shubman Gill and No. 3 Andre Russell helped Kolkata Knight Riders halt their six-game losing streak in marvelous fashion against Mumbai Indians as they won their 100th IPL game.

The duo combined 12 sixes and 12 fours to help Knight Riders post the season's highest team score, with assistance from opener Chris Lynn's 29-ball 54.

Mumbai were pegged back early in their chase of 233 with the dismissals of quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma inside four overs. After the chase's ninth over, they had already lost four wickets, and the required run-rate was 15.72.

Hardik Pandya's 17-ball fifty was the quickest of IPL 2019, but with no other batsman making a significant contribution, the required rate of 16 an over was too much. Mumbai succumbed to their first defeat to Knight Riders since May 2015
