The game went down to the last ball and they got across the line with six wickets in hand. MI will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum.
Kolkata Knight Riders, meanwhile, are coming off a loss in their previous fixture. After losing their first game of the season, they turned the tables around to win the next two. They failed to make it three in three as they lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, April 14.
Bowling first, Andre Russell picked up three wickets, but the Sunrisers posted 228 runs on the board. Chasing a mammoth total, Nitish Rana (75) and Rinku Singh (58*) gave it their all, but it wasn’t enough as they finished their innings on 205/7 and lost the game by 23 runs.
