Cottrell swing bowling was impressive:
KXIP bowlers bowled well in first ten overs as the bowl was swinging Cottrell was very impressive. He bowled good four overs gave away only 20runs and took the wicket of De Kock. No one supported him as remaining KXIP bowlers went for plenty especially against Pollard and Hardik Pandya.
Rahul and Agarwal failed to score big, Nair once again failed:
In reply to MI’s 191, KXIP started slowly Rahul and Agarwal got the start but didn’t capitalize on scoring big both got out. Karun Nair once again failed to score for KXIP. I doubt his place in next match; this is the third match where he is not able to contribute anything for KXIP.
Krunal, Chahar, Bumrah and Pattinson bowled well:
MI bowlers bowled with good line and length took wickets at regular intervals which slowed down the progress of chase. Krunal Pandya was impressive four overs for 27 and one wickets. Wrist spinner Chahar once again impressed everyone with his tight bowling took two wickets too in his four overs.
Bumrah tight bowling helped MI control the match:
KXIP lost the momentum in the match as they were left behind too much in 15th over. Bumrah and Pattinson didn’t allow KXIP batsman to free there hand both took wickets and bowled tightly in last overs.
Pooran played a good inning for KXIP:
Pooran played well for his 44 remaining all were not able to score quickly. Maxwell form is a big concern for KXIP because his form is essential for KXIP. If he is not able to strike in remaining matches, it is not going to easy to for KXIP win crucial games. Today he was not in form scored 11 runs off 18balls.
MI beats KXIP for huge margin. Indeed MI played like champions today.
