Can history repeat itself?

The world cup 2022 league matches have concluded, and we are currently in the last but one game of the tournament. All 12 teams fought hard to be in the final 4.

India NEVER had a CHANCE. India’s loss was pretty much guaranteed at around the 10th over, as the gap between the two lines increases substantially thereon.

Of the 30 balls, 6 balls are to be bowled by Bumrah, so you would give the bowling side a fair bit of chance. But that one over which succeeded sealed the deal for the Knight Riders. What happened?
