Doing well in patches doesn’t win you games, something KXIP have done whereas the opposite of that has been done by MI.
MI have been ruthless in the last few games. When they batted first, they posted a big total and defended that easily. When they batted second, the bowlers didn’t allow the opposition to get too many. Then, the batsmen won by chasing when other teams have struggled batting second.
