MI vs KKR Highlights, IPL 2023: Mumbai Indians win by five wickets with more than two overs to spare

IPL 2023 MI vs KKR Match Summary: Mumbai Indians collected a second win on the trot after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. The afternoon fixture of the Sunday double-header witnessed Venkatesh Iyer score the first century by a KKR batter since Brendon McCullum in the very first match of the Indian Premier League, which was also the second century of the season after Harry Brook’s ton against Punjab Kings on Friday. His knock, along with a valuable lower-order contribution from Andre Russell, would be the only bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming batting performance from the Knight Riders, who failed to cross the 200-mark at the batting paradise that is the Wankhede Stadium despite Iyer’s whirlwind hundred, posting 185 in the end. Mumbai, in reply, got off to a fiery start with Ishan Kishan taking the attack to the Knight Riders bowlers from the word go and stitching a solid opening stand with Impact Player Rohit Sharma, who earlier temporarily passed the leadership duties to Suryakumar Yadav due to a stomach bug. Surya then took over after Rohit and Kishan were dismissed, the latter for a 25-ball 58, producing some of his signature shots and batting with the kind of ease that had made him the standout T20 batter in the world not too long ago. SKY appeared to have regained his touch with his 25-ball 43, and would’ve been disappointed to fall short of a well-deserved fifty with Mumbai on the verge of victory. In the end, it came down to the Tim David-Cameron Green pair to guide Mumbai home for a second game running. IPL 2023 MI vs KKR: Having opened their account with a victory over Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians will be hoping to collect their second win on the trot when they take on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​ Five-time champions Mumbai Indians began their campaign with defeats against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and the Wankhede respectively. Their trip to Delhi however, proved fruitful as they produced an all-round show to defeat the Capitals by six wickets, with skipper Rohit Sharma rising to the occasion with a fine half-century and Tim David and Cameron Green finishing the game. KKR, on the other hand, are coming into this game on the back of a narrow defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high-scoring game at the Eden Gardens on Friday. KKR, who hammered RCB by 81 runs at home before pulling off an unlikely victory over Gujarat Titans thanks to one Rinku Singh, fell short of the massive 229-run target set by SRH despite fighting half-centuries from skipper Nitish Rana and Rinku. Though Mumbai dominates the head-to-head rivalry against Kolkata, KKR will be buoyed by the fact that they managed to defeat MI twice last season — the first time they managed to pull off a season double against the most successful side in the history of the league.
