IPL2022 Match Analysis

The team of Mumbai Indians could not come up to the expectations in this IPL. The team is practically out of the race for the final four, but theoretical chances of qualifying are still there which are close to zero. The team has set a unique record of 8 consecutive losses in any IPL. So the morale, confidence and will to fight can be judged easily from this aspect.

The reasons may whatever be but the main ones are lack of quality bowlers and out-of-form key players. The captain himself could not perform up to the par in this tournament so far, the same goes for Ishan Ishan. Only hopes were lying with Yadav, who single-handedly is trying to carry the weight of the team and playing at 53.14 in the last 8 matches but it’s not enough as it’s always a team effort that matters. Bumrah considered the main bowler of the team is currently out of form but expectations of gaining it are not seldom.

Though the performance of Kolkatta Knight Riders is not very high yet it is not as weak as the opponent appears. They have managed to get more wins but still chances of qualifying are not very high. The captain is leading from the front and is the hot favorite player of this match. He has shown his skills with the bat, especially in recent matches and added handsome runs in the total of the team. Nitish Rana can also prove his presence well deserved in the team and can outclass the weak bowling attack of Mumbai Indians. The bowling attack of KKR is also not very strong yet the runs stopped by Umesh Yadav in the last match leads to the narrative that he may stop MI to run big and take some early wickets.

In the last 5 matches the teams played against each other MI won 3 and KKR won 2 including the match on 6 Apr of this season.
