Mumbai Indians Beat KKR By 49 Runs, Clinched Their First Victory In UAE
Defending champions Mumbai Indians on Wednesday clinched 49-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders to record their first ever win in the United Arab Emirates. Chasing a target of 196, KKR were restricted to 146/9 by a smart bowling attack of Mumbai Indians at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
KKR looked to have an outside chance until the 16th over of the match in which Jasprit Bumrah (2/32) dismissed dangermen Andre Russell (11) and Eoin Morgan (16). KKR needed as many as 96 runs from 30 balls at the start of the over, but Russell and Morgan's reputation for big hits kept the two-time champions' hopes alive. Bumrah knocked off Russell's leg stump with the very first ball of the over and then got Morgan to edge the fourth ball to the wicket-keeper.
