IPL: Iyer, Starc shine as KKR beat MI after 12 years at Wankhede

Kolkata Knight Riders' bowling unit delivered a cohesive performance to secure a 24-run victory over five-time champions Mumbai Indians in an IPL match on Friday. While KKR's batsmen faltered by scoring only 169 runs and getting bowled out, with Venkatesh Iyer top-scoring with 70, Mumbai Indians' batting lineup struggled even more on a challenging wicket that required both skill and patience. They were dismissed for 145 in 18.5 overs, effectively ending their chances in the tournament, which has been difficult for captain Hardik Pandya.
