| 1.2 : 1.2: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Misfield from Bumrah! You don't see Mumbai so sloppy. Coulter-Nile overpitches and lands it around off, Gill drives it from the inner half towards mid on where Bumrah dives over the ball and lets it sneak through. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Trent Boult to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! Pulled away! Shorter in length and on middle, Tripathi stays back and pulls it through wide mid on for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Trent Boult to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TAKEN! That is a stinger! What a take by Yadav. That was hit like a tracer bullet towards him. It is shorter and outside off. Rahul cuts it hard and towards the point fielder. Yadav takes it above his head with two hands falling to his left. Brilliant from him. Mumbai have not started that well but this should lift their spirit. Tripathi will feel very unlucky. |
| 3.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Nitish Rana, FOUR! A full toss and it puts away! It is a full toss and on the pads, Rana works it through mid-wicket and it races away to the fence. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Up and over! Fuller and on middle, Gill lofts it with ease over the mid on fielder for a boundary. Good start to the last over of the Powerplay. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Nitish Rana, OUT! GLOVED AND TAKEN! Nathan gets his first! This should make him feel a lot better as he has not had the best of starts. This is shorter and on the body, Rana looks to pull but it goes off the glove and to the keeper. Kolkata in trouble early on. Rana never looked comfortable and he is a goner. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Krunal Pandya to Dinesh Karthik, FOUR! That should get Karthik going! Shorter and on middle, it is pulled nicely, it is in the gap and towards the mid-wicket region for a much-needed boundary. DK gets off the mark on the 7th ball. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Rahul Chahar to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and Kolkata slip further. The well-set Gill is out of here. He looked to take on the leg spinner as he tries to loft it over the long on fence but does not get the desired elevation. Pollard there seems to have ran in but takes it nicely with a leap above his head. So timely wickets are keeping Mumbai on top. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Rahul Chahar to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Karthik is out of here now and his poor run in this year's edition continues. Mumbai all over Kolkata right now. It is nice and slow, dips as it gets to the batter. It is a googly outside off. Karthik looks to play the paddle sweep but gets an inside edge. It goes between his legs and onto the stumps. Chahar has two in two. He is on a hat-trick. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Krunal Pandya to Andre Russell, SIX! Not for too long, Dre Russ has dumped this one into the stands! Krunal tosses it up in the air and lands it full, Russell gets the chance to get underneath it and smokes it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Brings up 50 for Kolkata. We have lost the ball, so the umpires have decided to take the drinks break. |
| 9.5: Rahul Chahar to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Need a few more do Kolkata! The paddle sweep comes out. With no short fine leg, it is a smart shot. Morgan does so very effectively and it goes for a boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, FOUR! Bang! Bumrah goes short and wide outside off, Russell uses the depth of his crease to make room and slaps it wide of the point fielder for a cracking boundary. This is going to be some contest. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, OUT! Bumrah wins the battle, this is the third time he has dismissed Russell in the League. A ripper of a bouncer by Bumrah. It's well-directed and Russell decides to sway away from the line after moving towards the leg stump slightly. He though takes his eyes off the delivery which is a massive mistake to do. The ball takes the outside half of the bat and Quinton de Kock behind the stumps makes no mistake. A big blow to Kolkata who now have lost half their |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Supreme shot! Good length ball close to off, Cummins hangs back to make room and drills it past the left side of the mid off fielder for a boundary. A good start to the over for Kolkata. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Pat Cummins, SIX! This is beautifully struck by Cummins! The Aussie rides the bounce and pulls it handsomely in front of square leg for a biggie. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Pat Cummins, FOUR! End of a brilliant over for Kolkata! They would hope this gives them some movementum. It is shorter and outside off, it is lofted over covers and it races away to the fence. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Trent Boult to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Finds the fence! Not sure Morgan meant to play it that square. Fuller in length and on off, Morgan looks for an inside-out over covers but it flies off the thick outside edge and loops behind backward point for a boundary. 100 up for Kolkata! |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Trent Boult to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Cummins is playing a gem here, moves to 35 now! He picks the short length early and thumps it via a pull shot to the deep mid-wicket fence. Vital runs flowing from the bat of the Aussie. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Trent Boult to Pat Cummins, SIX! Nailed! 7 from the first two balls. It is length and Cummins loves it. Poor by Boult. It is hit over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Trent Boult to Pat Cummins, FOUR! 11 now from the first three balls. Cummins is playing a gem of a knock! It is a full toss on off. Cummins hits it hard towards the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. Look away Quinton. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Slapped and up comes the fifty for Cummins! What a knock this is! Yes, he was given a life but take nothing away from the innings he has played. Outstanding. Has given his side something to bowl at. It is outside off. Cummins slaps it through covers. Also, it is a brilliant start to the last over. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Eoin Morgan, SIX! BOOM! Morgan finally finds the fence. This is right in his arc. A full ball and it is a slower one. Morgan waits and then sends it sailing over the long on fence for a biggie. 3 more balls to go. Can Kolkata get to 150? |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Nathan Coulter-Nile to Eoin Morgan, SIX! Morgan connects once again and ends the innings with a bang! 21 from the over and Kolkata finish with 148! It is once again a fuller one on middle. It is lofted over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 0.1 : 0.1: Chris Green to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Welcome to the Indian T20 League, Green! It is short and wide outside off. Rohit cuts it through point and it races away to the fence. Rohit and Mumbai underway in style. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Pat Cummins to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! This time Rohit gets some bat behind it. Too straight again from Cummins, Rohit rotates his wrists and eases it past short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Prasidh Krishna to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Short is not the length to bowl to Sharma. He just loves it. He rocks back and pulls it over square leg. It seems to have gone all the way and hit the cushion on the full but the third umpire decides it is just short. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Prasidh Krishna to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Catch it is the cry but it is in the gap! Full and wide outside off, it is carved away through covers and it races away to the fence. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Prasidh Krishna to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! A gift to de Kock now! It is short and wide outside off, asking to be hit. De Kock slaps it through point for another boundary. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Pat Cummins to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Bang! Cummins serves a shortish ball around off, de Kock hangs on the back foot and smashes it over wide mid on for a boundary. Flashbacks for Cummins, he was taken to the cleaners in the last match against Mumbai also. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Pat Cummins to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! De Kock is on the charge at the moment! Once again keeps his weight on the back foot, brings out the bottom hand into play, fetches a length ball from outside off and whips it over mid-wicket. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Chris Green to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Another Green over starts off with a boundary! He bowls a full toss on middle, it is powered past the bowler and down to the long on fence. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Chris Green to Quinton de Kock, DROPPED AND FOUR! It is a difficult take but you need such catches to be taken when your side is on the back foot. De Kock looks to play the sweep shot but gets a top edge due to the extra bounce Green gets. It goes high up in the air towards fine leg. Varun from short fine leg runs after it, he gets there but spills it. It also rolls towards the fence. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Prasidh Krishna to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Smashed! Just a touch short in length on middle, de Kock swivels on the back foot and hammers it through square leg. The fielder in the deep tries his best but still comes second best. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Prasidh Krishna to Quinton de Kock, SIX! This one goes the distance! QdK is on fire! Picks up the back of the length delivery early, turns on the back foot and nails it over wide long on for a biggie. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Prasidh Krishna to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! This is turning out to be a classy knock from de Kock. Showing his range there. Leans into a full length ball and strokes it elegantly through the gap between extra cover and mid off. 16 from the over, Mumbai are cruising! |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Andre Russell to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Dismissed! Russell continues to be very full but this time the line is close to the off stump, de Kock latches onto it and muscles it straight down the ground for a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: Andre Russell to Quinton de Kock, SIX! Brings up his third fifty this season in style. This one is by far the best. Russell decides to bang one short on middle, Quinton stands tall to ride the bounce and hoists it over long leg for a maximum. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Rohit Sharma, SIX! Remarkable shot! Varun serves a half-volley around off, Sharma is quick to pick it and launches it over square leg for a biggie. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Shivam Mavi to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Whacked! Rohit takes a step down the track to a length ball outside off and thwacks it over extra cover for a boundary. Nearly went all the way. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Shivam Mavi to Rohit Sharma, OUT! Caught behind! Mavi responds with a beautiful delivery! An outswinger, landing full and close to off, Rohit decides to play the angle but it moves away a shade to catch the outside half of his blade as he attempts to flick. Karthik just about manages to hold on to the chance behind the wickets. The 94-run opening stand is broken but it has put the chase to bed. 55 needed off 57 balls. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Shivam Mavi to Suryakumar Yadav, EDGY FOUR! Luck has just not been going Kolkata's way! Length and outside off, Yadav looks to play it down the ground but it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Yadav was not looking at his best tonight and he falls. He looks to drag the sweep from well outside off. The length was a little too full to do that. It takes the inside edge and deflects onto the stumps. |
| 14.3: Shivam Mavi to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! This though is not a good ball. It is shorter and outside off, not a good one with third man up. De Kock guides it past point and it races away to the fence. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Shivam Mavi to Quinton de Kock, SIX! BOOM! Now short and on the body, de Kock has no problem whatsoever to put it away. He pulls it over the square leg fence for a biggie. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Pat Cummins to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! That is a lovely shot by Pandya! Wow! It is a length ball on middle, not a bad delivery but Pandya stands tall and lofts it over the mid on fielder for a boundary. He made a decent ball look pretty ordinary. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Pat Cummins to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! This is majestic! Another brilliant lofted drive. It is fuller and on middle, Pandya shows the full face of the bat and lofts it over the bowler's head for another boundary. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Pat Cummins to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Exquisite! So easy! Just 8 more needed. This is a poor ball. It is on the pads, Pandya uses his wrists and whips it over the square leg fence. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Chris Green to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Scores level now! It is short and outside off, Pandya slashes at it. It goes off the outer half towards the point fence for a boundary. |
