It was looking so easy for Mumbai Indians to chase it as they have Rohit Sharma, Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks. But yesterday Rohit Sharma was out early. Kolkata Knight Riders celebrated that wicket, but a little bit they knew, they could not win the game because the next batsmen are even stronger.

Kolkata had no chance of winning this match. Kolkata team scored only 116 runs. It is impossible to win by giving such a small target in an IPL match. Mumbai reached the target of victory quite easily. Mumbai Indians scored 121 runs in 12.5 overs losing only two wickets. Ryan Rickelton scored 62 runs and Suryakumar Yadav scored 27 runs in just 9 balls.

Mumbai's bowlers performed very well in this match. That is why Kolkata could not give a big target. Especially Ashwani Kumar took 4 wickets in 3 overs and each wicket was important. Also, the bowling of Boult, Santner and Pandya was excellent.
