MI vs KKR – IPL 2025 12th Match Results

updated：Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 8 wickets.
Mumbai Indians secured their first win of IPL 2025, defeating the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets. The match, held at Wankhede Stadium, was largely influenced by debutant Ashwani Kumar, whose brilliant performance with the ball saw him claim 4 wickets for just 24 runs, including key scalps like KKR’s captain Ajinkya Rahane and power hitter Andre Russell. Ashwani’s impressive control over length and ability to vary his deliveries left KKR struggling to build momentum.

MI vs KKR – IPL 2025 12th Match Pre-Match Chat:

IPL 2025 12th match will be held on March 31 at 7:30 PM IST at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. This match will see Mumbai Indians (MI) take on last year’s champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Even though MI is playing at home, considering last year’s performance, they are not really favoured. Despite playing at home, MI’s struggle with scoring makes it tough for them to win. On the other hand, KKR’s away record last year was strong, with only one loss in five away games, and they defeated MI in Match 51 while playing away. Given all these challenges, MI faces a tough battle to win; they need to improve both their scoring and defending, and maybe even pray to the gods for some luck.
