3 losses in 3 matches; 7-factor analysis of MI's performance in the IPL

#6 Death bowling (overs 16 - 20)

Bumrah and Mustafizur have been outstanding for MI at the death

Except for the first match where Bravo took the death bowlers Bumrah and Mustafizur to cleaners, both of them have been brilliant in the other 2 matches. In the match against SRH, the duo gave away just 16 runs in the 4 overs between them. Unfortunately, Ben Cutting could not defend the 11 runs in the last overs.

The variations by Bumrah and Mustafizur have been spot on and have helped MI get extremely close to the victory from a losing position.
