MI vs KKR IPL 2022 Highlights: KKR thrash MI to stay in hunt for playoffs berth

Source: Twitter

Kolkata Knight Riders resemble a sinking ship ahead of a rather inconsequential IPL-15 match against bottom-placed Mumbai Indians who, even if already out of reckoning, will have their tails up here on Monday.

Panned for trying out too many combinations at the top, a part of their constant chopping and changing strategy this season which backfired on them pretty badly, KKR are coming off a 75-run drubbing at the hands of table toppers Lucknow Super Giants.

While MI will enter the upcoming game on the back of a five-run win over second-placed Gujarat Titans.

Can KKR still qualify for the playoffs?

KKR needed to win their remaining three league games before the MI clash and with win this over MI now they have win to against the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants in order to stay in hunt for the playoffs qualification.

Even after winning all three games, KKR will reach a maximum of 14 points, hence, the net run rate is another factor that Kolkata must keep in mind in order to qualify. The Knight Riders will have to win their remaining games by large margins.

KKR can't afford to lose a game now and every game will be a do-or-die contest for Iyer's team. Even a single defeat will confirm their elimination from the IPL 2022.
