Mumbai: Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowlers rose to the occasion and defended a modest total en route to a 24-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in an Indian Premier League match here on Friday.
Incidentally, it was KKR’s first win over MI in Mumbai after 12 years.
Opting to bowl, Jasprit Bumrah (3/18) was at his best as MI bowled out KKR for a modest 169.
