Jasprit Bumrah's effort went in vain as Mumbai Indians lost another match in IPL 2022
Jasprit Bumrah bowled a fiery spell of 5/10 in the first innings against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to field first at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Venkatesh Iyer provided a solid start for KKR but once he returned to the pavilion, the innings slowed down.
While Iyer was in the middle, it seemed like KKR would finish with a total of around 200 runs. However, they only posted 165 runs on the board thanks to a five-wicket haul from Jasprit Bumrah. He conceded only 10 runs in four overs and maintained an economy rate of 2.50.
Chasing 166 to win the game, MI lost wickets at regular intervals and got skittled out for 113 runs. Ishan Kishan scored a fifty but his partners let him down as MI suffered their ninth defeat of the season.
Kolkata Knight Riders have climbed to the seventh position in the IPL point table with a big win against Mumbai Indians. They are still alive in the race for the playoffs.
