KOLKATA, India (AP) Two-time champions the Mumbai Indians held their nerves to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by nine runs and top the Indian Premier League table on Saturday.
Mumbai finished the league stage with 10 wins from 14 matches, and will play the second-placed side at Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday for a berth in the final.
Despite defeat, the Knight Riders were also in the playoffs, but won’t know until Sunday whether they are third or fourth. Regardless, they play the other third- or fourth-placed team in a knockout match.
The fourth team will be Kings XI Punjab or Rising Pune Supergiant.
