IPL 2025: MI vs KKR Free Live Streaming, Where To Watch IPL Live In India? Match 12

Both the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Kolkata Knight Riders started their IPL 2025 campaign with respective defeats. The MI vs KKR clash of the new edition will take place on March 31, 2025, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

The five-time champions didn’t perform well with the ball in the first six overs of the innings, which Kolkata did well in the previous contest against the Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Even in the absence of Sunil Narine, the defending champions did well in restricting the inaugural champions to a low score.

It was a huge blow for the Knight Riders during the previous encounter against the Rajasthan Royals, losing their premier mystery spinner, Sunil Narine. Spencer Johnson had nearly dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the very first ball, as the left-handed batter was late to play the pull shot.

Vaibhav Arora, after a tough first game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), started well in the opening over. Jaiswal nailed Johnson for a boundary on the very first ball of the third over before nailing him for a six over the cow corner.

But Arora was in a different mood during the clash as he sent back Sanju Samson for 13 runs. On a surface where the ball was skidding onto the bat nicely, he used the pace as his weapon. Harshit Rana didn’t enjoy a very good opening over of the innings before Jaiswal and Riyan Parag clubbed three sixes in a couple of overs.

Kolkata leaked 54 runs in six overs, picking up just one wicket. They hope to do better in the next MI vs KKR fixture.

Mumbai Indians had a chance to defend 155 runs in the second innings, as Trent Boult, with the new ball, gave away just five runs in the opening over. After leaking a boundary on the second ball, Deepak Chahar picked up the wicket of Rahul Tripathi, who pulled the short ball into the hands of the wicketkeeper.

But Ruturaj Gaikwad killed the entire momentum. The right-handed batter smashed the former New Zealand left-arm pacer for two successive boundaries. Rachin Ravindra clubbed Chahar for a four-over short fine before smashing Deepak Chahar for a six-over mid-wicket.

Satyanarayana Raju came into the attack, but Gaikwad used his power to smack the pacer for 13 runs. The CSK captain drilled one six and two back-to-back boundaries to end the powerplay as they gave away 62 runs in six overs for the loss of one wicket.
