| 2.6 : 2.6: M McClenaghan to C Lynn, SIX! First maximum of the game and it comes off the bat of Chris Lynn. Full length delivery from McClenaghan, Lynn picks the length early and smokes it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. 10 runs off the over. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: L Malinga to C Lynn, FOUR! Slapped and slapped hard. Slower delivery on a length outside off, Lynn smacks it uppishly through covers for a boundary. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: L Malinga to C Lynn, SIX! One trick too many from Malinga. Short once again from Malinga, this time Lynn picks the length early and pulls it over the fine leg fence for a maximum. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: J Bumrah to C Lynn, FOUR! No ball as well for the height. Slower one gone wrong. Bumrah serves it a full toss over the waist height. Lynn smokes it over covers and gets a boundary. Free Hit to follow. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: R Chahar to C Lynn, SIX! Lynn looks in the mood. Tossed up on middle and leg, Lynn tonks it over the bowler's head for a mammoth six. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: R Chahar to C Lynn, SIX! Flighted on middle and leg, Gill is going after the leggie and smashes it over long off for another maximum. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: H Pandya to S Gill, OUT! The bowling change works and Hardik strikes on his very first ball. Slower delivery on off. Hardik rolls his fingers on it like an off spinner. Gill looks to play it across the line but misses. He gets hit on the back pad, right in front of the stumps. Hardik and the crowd goes up in appeal. The umpire agrees with him and raises his finger. Gill discuss with his partner about the review but decides not to take it. It was a good decision not to review because Hawk-Ey |
| 8.2 : 8.2: H Pandya to C Lynn, OUT! Caught! Second wicket for Hardik. You just cannot keep this man out of the game. Wide off cutter from Hardik, it is away from Lynn. He stretches out and reaches it. He looks to flat-bat it straight but gets a top edge which flies towards the fine leg region. Quinton de Kock runs for it gets there to take an easy catch. The dangerous Lynn is out of here and the crowd here is going wild. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: L Malinga to R Uthappa, SIX! Uthappa connects and connects well this time. Full around off, Uthappa uses his power and deposits it over mid-wicket for a maximum. A much-needed one for Kolkata. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: L Malinga to D Karthik, OUT! What a catch! The Kolkata skipper is a goner. It looks like it's the day of the Pandya brothers. Slower ball, full on middle. It is not the best of deliveries from Malinga. Karthik looks to flick it over mid-wicket which is inside the circle. He hits it but Krunal times his jump to perfection and grasps it out of thin air. He kisses the ball later on and Karthik walks back to the dugout. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: L Malinga to A Russell, OUT! No Russell-muscle in Mumbai tonight. He is gone for a golden duck. Excellent bowling this from Malinga. Shorter in length from him, it is right on the money. Around the body from 'round the wicket, Russell looks to sway away from it but he is late in dropping his hands. The ball flicks his gloves on the way to the keeper. Quinton throws the ball up in the air in celebration after collecting the catch. Malinga too is convinced that he has got his man. The umpire |
| 13.5: J Bumrah to R Uthappa, FOUR! This should give Uthappa some confidence. Full outside off, Uthappa squeezes it past backward point for a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: J Bumrah to R Uthappa, SIX! Excellent from Uthappa. 10 runs off the over. Back of a length ball on off, Uthappa moves to his off stump early in anticipation and then pulls it over backward square leg for a maximum. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: H Pandya to N Rana, SIX! Beautiful shot from Rana! He is continuing his good run of form. Full in length and outside off, Rana reaches out for it and dismisses it over long off for a biggie. Pure timing. 16 runs off the last three balls. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: H Pandya to N Rana, SIX! Not too much power on this one, it is all about timing here. Good length ball on leg, Rana moves away and guides it over the third man fence for a maximum. |
| 16.6 : 16.6: J Bumrah to R Uthappa, SIX! Just over. Low full toss on off, Uthappa looks to hit it straight, he does not time it well but hits it good enough to send it over the short boundary over long off. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: L Malinga to N Rana, SIX! Destroyed the slower ball there. It is on a length on middle, Rana heaves it over the mid-wicket fence and sends it 2-rows behind the rope for a maximum. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: L Malinga to N Rana, OUT! Malinga has the last laugh. The pressure of upping the ante has got to Rana. Slower delivery once again outside off, this time it is slightly fuller. Rana does not pick it up. He looks to go over long off but does not time it well. Pollard comes in from the deep and takes a simple catch. Malinga gets his third of the game. He is delighted, and why wouldn't he be? Top stuff from him. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: J Bumrah to R Uthappa, OUT! Uthappa's strange innings comes to an end. Full on off, Uthappa attempts to hit it over long off but gets no timing on it and it balloons to mid off. Rohit Sharma gets under it and takes an easy catch. Not the innings Uthappa will look fondly at. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: J Bumrah to R Singh, OUT! Rinku holes out! Kolkata end on 133/7 off their 20 overs. Full on middle and leg, Rinku looks to go over long on but gets no timing on it. It goes high in the air and Hardik comes under it to take the catch. What a final over this was from Bumrah! Just 3 runs and 2 wickets to finish things off. |
| 0.3 : 0.3: S Warrier to de Kock, SIX! Just over! Back of a length ball on middle, Quinton gets behind it and pulls it over fine leg. He does not time it well but has enough to send it over the ropes. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: A Russell to R Sharma, FOUR! Deft touch! Length ball on off, Rohit runs it down fine of third man and gets a boundary. That was not an easy shot to play but that's the class of this man. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: A Russell to de Kock, SIX! That was six the moment it left the bat. De Kock looks in the mood tonight. Full on middle and leg, Quinton smokes it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: A Russell to de Kock, SIX! This one is off the edge but it still travels. Back of a length ball on the body, Quinton looks to pull but gets a top edge over the fine leg fence for a maximum. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: A Russell to de Kock, FOUR! That was off the middle. What a shot! Back of a length ball again from Russell, this time de Kock picks the length early and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. Mumbai are cruising. |
| 4.5: S Warrier to R Sharma, FOUR! Shot! Rohit Sharma fetches a short delivery from wide outside off and pulls it with perfection over wide mid on for a boundary. Good timing. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: P Krishna to de Kock, OUT! WHAT A CATCH! This is Karthik's wicket as much as it is Prasidh's. First ball from Prasidh and he provides the breakthrough. Shorter in length, de Kock goes for the pull but gets a top edge which flies towards fine leg. For a moment it looks like it will fall in no man's land but Dinesh Karthik runs and puts in a dive to take a brilliant catch. This could just be the inspiration Kolkata needed. Quinton departs after giving the required start. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: P Krishna to R Sharma, FOUR! Short, wide and punished. Short of a length ball outside off, Rohit slaps it through point for a boundary. He is not going to stop. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: P Krishna to S Yadav, FOUR! Suryakumar is off the mark in style. Shorter in length, Suryakumar picks the length early and pulls it through fine leg for a boundary. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: S Narine to R Sharma, FOUR! Slightly short on middle and off, Rohit sees the fine leg is inside the circle so he gets on one knee and paddle sweeps it fine of the man there for a boundary. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: P Krishna to S Yadav, FOUR! Gorgeous shot! Full on off, Suryakumar whips it stylishly through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: A Russell to R Sharma, FOUR! Smacked! Russell looks to bowl a bouncer but serves a length ball on off, Rohit gets on top of it and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: S Narine to S Yadav, FOUR! Fine shot! Narine gets this one to turn back into the batsman from around off, Yadav sticks back and muscles it past the diving mid-wicket fielder for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: S Narine to R Sharma, FOUR! Narine is leaking runs much to Kolkata's dislike. Half-tracker outside off, Rohit camps back and spanks it through cover-point for a cracking boundary. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: S Narine to S Yadav, SIX! This one is dismissed! Narine drops it very full and on middle, Yadav goes with the spin and launches it over mid-wicket for a maximum. 31 needed off 40 balls. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: S Narine to R Sharma, FOUR! Lovely shot! Narine is just on the shorter side around off, Rohit hangs back and pulls it with the spin over mid-wicket for one-bounce boundary. Mumbai doing it with ease. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: H Gurney to S Yadav, FOUR! Oh, good shot! Lovely wristwork by SKY! A full ball around middle, Yadav brings his bottom hand into play and flicks it wristily past the right side of the mid on fielder for a boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: H Gurney to S Yadav, FOUR! SKY is going from strength to strength. Short in length on middle, Yadav is on top of the bounce and pulls it in front of square leg for a boundary. Mumbai inching closer to the target. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: P Krishna to R Sharma, FOUR! Quality shot from a quality batsman! 8 needed more. A fuller length ball on off, angling in, Sharma takes his front leg forward and pumps it over wide mid off for a boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: A Russell to S Yadav, SIX! Suryakumar Yadav finishes it off with one blow! A touch short in length and sliding down the leg side, SKY swivels inside the crease and pulls it massively over fine leg for a maximum. MUMBAI WIN BY 9 WICKETS (23 BALLS REMAINING)! A massive victory. |
