IPL 2019
Match 56: MI Vs KKR Post Analysis
2013,2015,2017,--------??? Its not an aptitude question
The last match of this IPL 2019 league stage. All of the team played 14 matches before this match. Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders were going to play their 14th match. More than Mumbai Indians this match is more important for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Because if MI beat KKR in this match SRH will qualify for playoff with higher runrate. In case KKR win they will qualify with 14 points. Only one reason is there for mumbai to win this game, if they win Mumbai will move to table top and play against CSK at qualifier one. And they did it finally.
After toss Kolkata knight Riders bat first with Lynn and Gill. Both were in good form in recent matches. But Malinga was in different form. He completely put an end to the KKR middle. Before him Hardik Pandya collapsed the openers . Gill gone for 9 runs from 16 balls. Lynn alone scored a decent knock of 41 runs from 29 balls. Robbie Uthappa came at bat 3, but departs before the last ball of the innings. Most expected Russel and DK gone for duck and 3 runs. Rana tried to increase score along with Uthappa. But already uthappa playing desperated batting. Bumrah bowled an exceptional death over as usual. Uthappa scored 40 runs in 47 balls in an important match. There is no use of this 40 runs in this kind of must win T20 match. Atleast after 30 balls he should accelerate a bit. Finally KKR ends up with 133 runs. Malinga took 3wikets, Bumrah and pandya took 2 each.
First innings itself decided that who is going to be the winner. Knight Riders bowling was in that condition in this season. As expected Mumbai chased the target without any threat from Knight Rider bowlers. Sandeep Warrier alone bowled some good balls. MI opener Quinton scored 30 runs from 23 balls. Hitman once again used a weak bowling line up to brings up his fifty. Dont know how rohit going to manage at England with this type of batting form. He should back like hitman. Anyway rohit scored 55 runs from 48 balls with 8 boundaries. More or less Uthappa and Rohit played the same kind of innings. But Suryakumar played a good cricket in yesterday's match. He remains not out 46 runs from 27 balls with 5 boundaries and 2 sixes. Mumbai won by 9 wickets at 16th over itself. Nothing can do from KKR side. They lost a good oppurtunity lost many matches at middle of the tournament.
It seems like KKR having lack of team coordination this year as Dk already mentioned in an interview. Being a toughest team in IPL 2019 not even finished at top four. Better KKR team owners can rectify the problem between players before next season. Otherwise remove some players from team to make strengthen the team bond. Anyway their loss helps SRH to enter playoff. SRH will became the first team in IPL history to qualify playoff with just 12 points. They should have thank to Warner and Bairstow for kept their runrate at higher.
SRH finished with 4th place at the end of league stage with 12 points. But RCB finished as last with 11 points. The point difference is just one. Atleast one win from any of the team like RCB, RR, KXIP or KKR may affect the chance of SRH. With this win Mumbai finished with 18 points at top with higher runrate than CSK and DC. Top teams having 18 points this year. Will move on to the next stage of IPl 2019 on May 7th 2019 at Chepauk.
Chepauk may be home and fort for CSK, but Mumbai Indians were dominating for the past 8years at the same pitch. A small coincidence at Mumbai's IPL victory. They won tournaments at odd number years 2013, 2015 and 2017. Remember 2019 is also a odd number year. Will Mumbai Indians make one more tournament?????? We can know result within 4 matches.
