Mumbai Indians

145/10(18.5 Overs)

We are back for the run chase! The umpires are back out in the middle and so are the players of Kolkata who huddle-up before taking the field.

... The Run Chase ...

Right then, 170 runs to win for Mumbai and at the Wankhede Stadium, one would say that should be a straightforward chase for the home side but there is just something there in the pitch that will certainly give the Kolkata bowlers some hope. However, given the dew factor, Mumbai will have the advantage and will look to make it 10 wins out of 11 against Kolkata at this venue. Are we in for a surprise though? Only time will tell. Join us in a bit for the crucial run chase.

Piyush Chawla is up for a flash interview. He begins by saying that the wicket's a bit sticky and they bowled in the right areas. Says he's satisfied with his rhythm. Also says that it totally depends on what the captain wants. States that there was a bit of dew in the first innings itself which might surely help their batters.

Kolkata will be pretty disappointed with that batting effort and will know that they are under par here. They lost their top four batters cheaply and then Rinku Singh too fell right after the Powerplay. This forced the visitors to bring on Manish Pandey as the Impact Player which wasn't quite the idle plan but this move led to a resurgence with the bat. Venkatesh Iyer and Pandey added 83 runs to put Kolkata in a promising position but they lost wickets quickly at the death. Iyer stayed on til

A tale of two halves this first innings but overall, Mumbai will definitely be the happier of the two sides heading into the break. Not a typical Wankhede pitch as the ball was stopping a bit early on and Nuwan Thushara took complete advantage of it by picking up three scalps and that put Mumbai well ahead. Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla also picked up a wicket each to leave the opposition reeling at 57/5 after which they faced some stern resistance. They couldn't pick a single wicket in th

Jasprit Bumrah to Venkatesh Iyer, ! BOWLED'EM! And yet again, the middle stump has been uprooted courtesy of that toe-crushing yorker from Jasprit Bumrah. Aims the woods and precisely lands the yorker with a pin-point accuracy, on the middle, Venkatesh Iyer shuffles across off to ramp it over short fine but totally miscalculates the length and the ball beats his willow before uprooting the middle stump. Bumrah gets his third wicket and Mumbai restrict Kolkata on an average score.

Jasprit Bumrah to Venkatesh Iyer, Darts a full toss on off, Venkatesh Iyer slices it to deep point and denies to run a single. What a sensational last over this is turning out to be for Mumbai.

Nuwan Thushara to Venkatesh Iyer, A hard-fought Fifty from Venkatesh Iyer! Brilliant from him! Just outside off on a fuller length, Venkatesh Iyer slashes it through cover-point for a single.

Strategic Break! Despite being 5 down on a paltry 57, Kolkata has made a decent comeback with Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey, the impact sub, forging a resilient stand together. Venkatesh Iyer is inching closer to his fifty but the job's not done yet as Kolkata needs a stronger finish from here. The stage is set and with Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh yet to come, these two will aim to go aggressive. Whereas, Mumbai will be looking to break this partnership as soon as possible. Let's s

Strategic Break! Well, it has been quite a shocker for Kolkata so far who have been brilliant with the bat in general but have just not been at it in this game. Thanks to the Impact Sub option, they have got an extra batter in and with the likes of Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh still to come, it's not yet over for the visitors.

A tale of two halves this first innings but overall, Mumbai will definitely be the happier of the two sides heading into the break. Not a typical Wankhede pitch as the ball was stopping a bit early on and Nuwan Thushara took complete advantage of it by picking up three scalps and that put Mumbai well ahead. Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla also picked up a wicket each to leave the opposition reeling at 57/5 after which they faced some stern resistance. They couldn't pick a single wicket in th

Aims the woods and precisely lands the yorker with a pin-point accuracy, on the middle, Venkatesh Iyer shuffles across off to ramp it over short fine but totally miscalculates the length and the ball beats his willow before uprooting the middle stump.
