Chris Lynn got off to a blistering start, but MI clawed their way back by striking key wickets in the middle overs, when KKR failed to claim a single boundary from overs 7-12. Lasith Malinga led the way with a three-fer, before Rohit Sharma's half century and Suryakumar Yadav's swashbuckling 46* took the three-time champions to the very top of the table.
Now, three teams have finished on 18 points, which means Sunrisers Hyderabad are the first-ever IPL side to qualify with just 12 points.
See you in the mouth-watering playoffs, hope you enjoyed this coverage.
That's all from me, Akarshak Roy, good bye.
