| 0.1 : 0.1: B Sran to S Gill, FOUR! Fine start from Gill upfront. Doesn't waste any time as he finds the boundary. Full on middle and leg, the batsman leans ahead and flicks it nicely through mid-wicket. Pollard chases after it, but only comes second best. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: B Sran to S Gill, FOUR! Two in two for Gill. This is another amazing shot. Short of a length and outside off, Shubman rises on his toes and cracks it through the covers to find the fence. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: B Sran to S Gill, SIX! Wow. Shubman Gill is flying here. The ball is coming on to the bat nicely and he's putting them away. Back of a length into the body, the Indian sticks on the back foot and pulls it off the middle into the square leg stands. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: K Pandya to C Lynn, FOUR! Excellent shot from Lynn. Adjusts quickly and executes it well. Quite full and fast on middle and leg, the Aussie makes room and squeezes it through point for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: K Pandya to C Lynn, FOUR! Second of the over. Full and just around leg, Lynn gets low and sweeps it over short fine leg's head. Once he clears the infield, it was always going to run away. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: J Bumrah to C Lynn, FOUR! Not off the middle, but it's enough to find the fence. A little ahead of a length, on the stumps, Gill slogs and gets it off the inner half through square leg. The placement is good enough to beat the fielder in the deep. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: L Malinga to S Gill, FOUR! Malinga misses it altogether. A loopy full toss on middle and leg, Gill closes the face and whips this through backward square leg. Nobody out there in the deep, so the ball will race away to the boundary line. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: L Malinga to C Lynn, FOUR! The fifty stand is up with that and so is the Powerplay. Kolkata have done well to get the start they have. Length ball on off, Lynn stays leg side and hammers it straight back down the ground for a boundary. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: R Chahar to C Lynn, FOUR! Powered! Lynn makes room and Chahar floats it up on off, Lynn powers it over covers for a boundary. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: R Chahar to C Lynn, SIX! Into the stands! 10 from the last two balls. This is short and on the body, Lynn goes back and pulls it with ease over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: K Pandya to C Lynn, FOUR! Lynn is dealing in boundaries! He makes room again and then powers it through covers. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: K Pandya to C Lynn, SIX! That is out of here! Lynn is in some mood today. He continues making room. Krunal follows him, he tonk it into the mid-wicket stand for a biggie. Once again, Lynn follows a boundary with a biggie. |
| 8.3: B Sran to C Lynn, FOUR! There seems to be no stopping Lynn today. Full and on off, Lynn clears his front leg and hits it over extra cover. Boundary. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: B Sran to C Lynn, FOUR! In the gap! 13 from the over again! Full and on off, Lynn whips it through mid-wicket. It is in the gap and a boundary results. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: R Chahar to S Gill, SIX! What a shot! He has gone inside out over covers for a maximum. Not easy to play this. Chahar tosses it up on off, Gill makes room and then clears the cover fence with ease. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: R Chahar to C Lynn, OUT! In the air... taken! Chahar's strategy of bowling right arm over, reverse cutting the wicket has paid off. He has got the man who was hitting it to the boundaries with ease, Lynn. He gives this nice amount of air and lands it on middle, it turns away. Lynn looks to hit it against the turn but the ball catches the top edge and goes high up in the air towards mid-wicket. Lewis runs in and takes a good catch. A much-needed wicket for the visitors. They would now try an |
| 10.1 : 10.1: J Bumrah to S Gill, FOUR! Through the gap. Nicely placed. Full length delivery outside off, Gill drives it through the covers and finds the fence with ease. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: R Chahar to A Russell, FOUR! Just short. Good effort from Lewis in the deep. Russell pulls this half tracker aerially, flat towards deep mid-wicket. Lewis there runs in, dives but the ball falls just short of him and then goes through him for a boundary. |
| 11.5 : 11.5: R Chahar to S Gill, SIX! That's a terrific shot. Shubman Gill with some terrific footwork here. Dances down the track seeing the flight on the ball and then smokes it straight down the ground for a biggie. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: R Chahar to S Gill, SIX! Gill is motoring along well here. Looks so comfortable out there. Floated up around off, Gill gets down on one knee and slogs it high and handsome over wide long on for half a dozen. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: R Chahar to A Russell, SIX! Take that, Chahar! What a hit. Full and with flight, right in the slot, Russell slogs it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: R Chahar to A Russell, SIX! This is even better. What power from the big man. Chahar provides air on this again and tosses it up right in the slot for Andre Russell. He clears his front leg and bangs it into the mid-wicket stands with the full swing of his bat. 20 runs off the over, massive one for Kolkata. Not a good outing for Chahar this evening, he finishes with figures of 4-0-54-1. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: L Malinga to S Gill, FOUR! SMASHED! Gill is seeing the ball like a football now! It is the slower one on off, Gill waits for it and then bludgeons it past the bowler and down to the long off fence. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: L Malinga to S Gill, FOUR! Poor bowling and put away! Consecutive boundaries! Down the leg side and Gill flicks it past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: L Malinga to A Russell, FOUR! Third boundary in the over! This has been squirted. Full and wide outside off, Russell gets it past short third man and the ball races to the fence. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: H Pandya to S Gill, OUT! End of an excellent innings by Shubman Gill. Take a bow, young man, you have done your job for tonight. The slower ball gets the better of him. It is full and outside off, he looks to drag it over the mid-wicket fence. He gets more height than distance and Lewis takes a well-judged catch in the deep. They check for the front foot but Hardik is fine. Mumbai need to keep picking wickets if they are to stop this run flow. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: H Pandya to A Russell, FOUR! Very clever! Great awareness from the big man. Hardik again bangs it short and outside off, instead of going for power, Russell just opens the face and hits it above short third man and bags a boundary. The over ends with a boundary but an excellent one from Hardik. 7 and a wicket from it. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: J Bumrah to D Karthik, FOUR! In the gap! Top shot. Picked the slower one, waited for it and then swats it over the mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: J Bumrah to D Karthik, SIX! This is even better! Poor bowling to be honest by Bumrah. He bowls it short and Karthik is ready for it. He pulls it with ease and it sails into the mid-wicket stands. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: H Pandya to A Russell, SIX! He has picked the bones out of that one! Slower bumper and Russell picks it early. He goes back and pulls it high and handsome. Into the mid-wicket stand. Pressure on the bowler now. A maximum early in the over. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: H Pandya to A Russell, SIX! BOOM! Consecutive maximums! This one is a gift. A full toss on the body and Russell smashes it over the mid-wicket stands. This can turn out to be a huge, huge over. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: H Pandya to A Russell, SIX! Outrageous! What a hit this is! Pandya bangs this one short and on middle, Russell arches back and then cuts it over point. The connection is such that it goes all the way. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: J Bumrah to A Russell, FOUR! Gets it in the gap! Short and on middle, Russell goes back and pulls it. It is not off the middle but in the gap in the mid-wicket region. The outfield is too fast. A boundary off the Free Hit. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: J Bumrah to A Russell, SIX! Take that! That has been slapped! It is the slower one and outside off, Russell reaches out for it, gets it right off the middle and over the cover fence. The 50-run stand comes up with that. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: L Malinga to A Russell, SIX! That is in the slot and it has been hit out of here. Malinga misses the yorker and it ends up being a full ball on the pads. Russell tonks it over the mid-wicket fence. Ideal start to the last over. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: L Malinga to A Russell, FOUR! Through the off side, through the leg side, this guy is unstoppable. Full and outside off, Russell is down on one knee as he smashes it through covers. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: L Malinga to A Russell, FOUR! Fortunate boundary this, Kolkata won't care though! Full and outside off, Russell once again swings. The ball takes the bottom edge and then bounces over the keeper and into the third man fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: L Malinga to A Russell, SIX! That is why he did not want to take the single! Russell has smashed that into the stands with ease. Full and on off, Andre powers it over long off. 20 from the last over and the innings ends in style. KOLKATA FINISH WITH 232! |
| 0.4 : 0.4: S Warrier to R Sharma, FOUR! Educational edge! First boundary for Mumbai. Another good delivery, length and around off, it shapes away. Rohit at the very end opens the face of the bat, the ball though goes off the outside edge and to the third man fence. |
| 0.6 : 0.6: S Warrier to R Sharma, FOUR! Boundary to finish the first over and it is a good start for Mumbai. Short and on the body, Rohit swivels and pulls it to the backward square leg fence. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: S Narine to de Kock, OUT! In the air... taken! De Kock is out of here and Narine strikes in his first over itself. Horror start for the visitors chasing this huge total. Not what they would have wanted. It's a mountain of a total to gun down and the Protea is a vital player for them. De Kock looks to play the sweep shot but there is extra bounce on this delivery. It takes the top edge and goes high up in the air towards square leg where Russell takes a good catch. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: S Narine to R Sharma, FOUR! No one in the deep and a boundary! Taking advantage of this attacking field is Rohit Sharma. Steps down the track and this time goes ahead with the slog. He does not connect it well but hits it well enough to bag a boundary in the mid-wicket region. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: S Warrier to E Lewis, SIX! All the way! What a shot. First of this innings. There is width on offer outside off, Lewis pounces on it. He slashes at it, had no intentions of keeping it down and the ball sails over the point fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: H Gurney to R Sharma, OUT! It is umpire's call. The review will be retained, but Mumbai suffer a bigger blow by losing Rohit Sharma. Harry Gurney comes from around the wicket and angles in a length ball on middle and leg, Rohit swings across the line and misses it altogether. He's caught on the pads and the finger goes up. The Mumbai captain reviews it and replays show the ball is clipping the bails, so the on-field call won't be overturned. The visitors have lost both their openers and are |
| 4.4 : 4.4: S Warrier to S Yadav, SIX! That's gone the distance. Lovely pick up shot from Suryakumar Yadav. He quickly walks across to this full ball around off and then lofts it nicely over mid-wicket, just over the rope for a maximum. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: H Gurney to S Yadav, FOUR! Fine shot. On the fuller side of the length, on middle and off, SKY flicks it neatly through square leg and finds the fence. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: H Gurney to E Lewis, FOUR! Takes the aerial route and gets the desired result. Full and wide outside off, Lewis lofts it cleanly over covers and sends it across the boundary line. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: A Russell to E Lewis, OUT! Edged and gone! Mumbai lose another as Russell strikes on his very first ball. This isn't looking good for the tourists at all. Length ball around off which shapes away off the seam, Lewis plays away from his body and nicks it behind. DK moves to his left and collects it comfortably. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: A Russell to S Yadav, FOUR! Nicely placed. Length ball outside off, Yadav runs it down to third man and beats the fielder in the deep to the boundary line. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: A Russell to S Yadav, SIX! Shot. A much-needed big hit for Yadav and Mumbai. The batter moves across, gets inside the line and plays the pick up shot over the square leg boundary. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: A Russell to S Yadav, OUT! One more wicket down. Russell picks up his second in as many overs. Takes the pace off this one and bowls a full toss on the stumps, Yadav is early into the flick shot as a result and the ball flies in the air as a result. Karthik behind the stumps settles under it and takes it safely. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: P Chawla to H Pandya, SIX! Welcome into the attack Chawla! Top shot! A little too full on middle, Hardik lofts it over the bowler's head and it goes all the way. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: P Chawla to H Pandya, SIX! That is out of here! Brilliant by Pandya. This is flatter and on middle, Pandya sends it sailing into the long on stand for a biggie. Second in the over, they need to keep going though. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: P Chawla to K Pollard, FOUR! Pollard gets into the act now! Short and outside off, Pollard cuts it through point. The fielder in the deep dives but fails to stop it. |
| 10.1 : 10.1: S Narine to K Pollard, FOUR! Ideal start to the over! 22 from the last 7 balls. On the pads and Pollard flicks it in the gap in the mid-wicket region for a one-bounce boundary. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: S Narine to H Pandya, SIX! Pandya and Pollard, keeping Mumbai's hopes alive. Narine bowls it flatter once again and on off, Pandya goes back and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence. Dealing in maximums is Pandya. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: P Chawla to H Pandya, SIX! Another biggie to begin the over! Pandya is hitting the ball with ease. Slightly short and on middle, Pandya tonks it over the mid-wicket fence for a huge one. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: P Chawla to H Pandya, SIX! One to start and one to end the over! 16 from this over as well. 125 needed in 48. Short and down the leg side, Pandya pulls it and it goes into the mid-wicket stand. Also, that brings up the 50-run stand between the two. Can they pull of a miracle? They have started in the right manner. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: H Gurney to H Pandya, SIX! WOW! Pandya is hitting the ball with utmost ease here! Full and on middle, Pandya uses the depth of the crease by staying deep inside the crease and then flicks it over the mid-wicket fence. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: H Gurney to H Pandya, FOUR! A gift there but it still has to be put away! A high full toss outside off, Pandya smashes it through covers. It is in the gap and a boundary. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: S Narine to K Pollard, OUT! Pollard holes out and the dangerous, dangerous stand has been broken! This is bowled on the pads, Pollard goes for the flick but it flies off the inner half towards deep square leg. Rinku Singh there takes an excellent catch diving forward. One big hitter gone, all the onus of the big hitting is on Hardik Pandya now. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: S Narine to H Pandya, SIX! How easy was that? It was slightly short and Pandya picks the length early. He goes back and lifts it over the mid-wicket fence. 50 up for him and it has just come off 17 balls. Third in this League. He is keeping the hopes alive for the visitors. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: S Narine to H Pandya, FOUR! Stand and delivery! That is exactly what Pandya is doing! Narine aims for the stumps, Pandya goes back and hits it with power in the mid-wicket region. Finds the gap and finds the boundary. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: P Chawla to K Pandya, SIX! Krunal now joins the action! Very full and on off, Pandya lofts it over the long on fence for a biggie. They need to keep going though. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: P Chawla to H Pandya, FOUR! Shot. Short and wide outside off, Hardik crashes it through the point region and finds the fence. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: P Chawla to H Pandya, FOUR! This is a poor ball. Once again this is too far outside off and quite short in length, Hardik reaches out to it and hammers it through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: S Narine to H Pandya, FOUR! Hardik continues with the onslaught. Tossed up and well outside off, the all-rounder reaches out and bangs it straight back over the bowler's head. No stopping that, it's a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: S Narine to H Pandya, SIX! That's out of here! 10 off the first 2 ball, a terrific start to the over from Hardik. Full on middle and leg, he brings out the helicopter shot and clears the mid-wicket boundary with absolute ease. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: H Gurney to H Pandya, SIX! This is why, all Krunal needed to do is give the strike to Hardik. Stays deep inside his crease and Gurney bowls it on the pads. Hardik whips it into the square leg stands. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: H Gurney to H Pandya, FOUR! Brilliant, just brilliant! This is not a very bad delivery, it is full and on off. Hardik somehow gets it in the gap at the cover region and bags a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: H Gurney to H Pandya, OUT! In the air... and there goes Mumbai's hopes of pulling of a miracle! End of an unbelievable innings by Hardik Pandya. Brutal hitting by the all-rounder. However, it has come to an end. He falls prey to a short ball outside off, he looks to muscle it over long on but only manages to hit it high up in the air in that region. Russell there settles under it and takes it with ease. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: P Chawla to K Pandya, SIX! Probably that's why. This flighted ball is right in his arc. Full on middle and off, Krunal smokes it over wide long on for a half a dozen. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: P Chawla to K Pandya, OUT! Chawla strikes! Tossed up delivery outside off, slower through the air, Krunal looks to go big again downtown but gets a top edge on this occasion. It balloons towards mid off where the bowler runs and takes the catch himself. |
