A high scoring match witnessed Mumbai Indians (MI) registering their first win for the season. In the Match 5 of IPL 2020, MI beat KKR by 49 runs. KKR, who played their first game of the season, struggled both with the bat and the ball.

Match Report: KKR won the toss and chose to ball first. MI power-hitters did some massive hitting, where skipper Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav managed a 100 plus partnership. Rohit Sharma hit 80 off just 54 balls, while Yadav fell three runs short of his half-century. Later with little contributions of Hardik Pandya, Saurabh Tiwari, and Pollard, MI had put 195 runs on board.

KKR's turbulent start lacked confidence. However, Karthik’s small partnership with Narine and Rana did create some pressure. But, the former could contribute low 30 runs to his side. With the gradual fall of wickets, the team could gather only 146 runs and were defeated by a hefty margin. Despite this, massive records were broken.
