Defending 152, Mumbai Indians restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to 142/7 to register a 10-run victory in Chennai. KKR openers Nitish Rana and Shubman Gill added 72 runs to give a solid start but a mini-collapse in the death overs turn around the game in favor of Mumbai Indians. The credit of this collapse goes to Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult for the 19th and 20th over of the inning respectively.19th over of the second inning is brilliant over from Jasprit Bumrah and Bumrah shows that why he is the best in business. Jasprit Bumrah gives only four runs from the over. Mumbai Snatch the win from Kolkata’s jaw to earn the two crucial points. Kolkata was extremely poor in the second half of their innings as Mumbai took full advantage of it. Boult claims two wickets in the last over to seal the deal for Mumbai. Poor batting from Kolkata.
The last few overs have been bizarre. #KKR batting the way they have. #MI dropping catches, bowling a no-ball!

How did that just happen? Needed 31 off 30 balls. Lost by 10 runs with three wickets still in the hut. In between, #MI dropped Russell twice. Incredible Premier League has given us yet another freakish result. #KKRvMI #IPL2021
