4 reasons for Mumbai Indians' slow start

#4 Inability to close tight games

MI has lost three close games in a row now.

MI have lost all the three games by a narrow margin, and their inability to seize critical moments has hurt them badly.

In the first game against CSK, MI were well ahead in the match until Bravo's match-turning innings. In the second game against SRH, they came back from behind, but could not close the game in the final over.

In the third game as well, MI took the match to the last over with 10 runs still in the bank. Delhi Daredevils, however, kept their cool in the final over to clinch the victory.

Going forward, the franchise will need to address these issues if they are to qualify for the playoffs. Nita Ambani's team is known for comebacks and a comeback's due this time around as well.
