Kolkata are guilty of bowling too short here and thus have been taken to the cleaners. Hope this time out allows them to refigure their strategy and comeback strongly. Mumbai would hope to continue in the same fashion. Lets see who wins this passage of play after the break. Sunil Narin
10.4 : An appeal for run out! Suryakumar Yadav is the man in question. It is referred upstairs.
10.5 : Sunil Narine to Rohit Sharma, OUT! RUN OUT! Kolkata get a breather here. Suicidal here from the Mumbai batters. They were going along nicley but a brain fade triggers a wicket. Narine bowls it on the shorter side and in line with the stumps, Shama tucks it towards mid-wicket and takes a single but seeing the fielder is in the deep he calls for the second but fails to see that the bowler himself runs to fetch the ball and throws at the non-striker's end.

18.3 : Andre Russell to Hardik Pandya, OUT! HIT WICKET!  What has Hardik done there? Ohh! Hang on the bail has fallen of the groove. Hardik Pandya is Hit Wicket. A rare sight though in today's cricketing scenario. Russell goes full and wide outside off, Pandya goes deep inside his crease to run it down to third man but he forgets that he has gone really deep as his boots touch the stumps and dislodge the bails.

Mumbai started poorly but then two vital partnerships involving Rohit Sharma took Mumbai on the course of a score in excess of 200 runs but departure of Rohit at the fag end of the innings saw Mumbai end 5 runs short of the 200 run mark. Yadav and Tiwary gave good account of themselves but Hardik Pandya would be upset with the way he got out. In the end Mumbai would take the score as they would belive they have the bowlers to defend the score.
So, the target for Kolkata to kickstart their campaign is 196 in 20 overs! It though looks huge but not improbable. They just need a few good partnerships. Lets see on the other side of the break can they chase it down or will Mumbai win it with ease.
Brilliant comeback by Kolkata after the way they started with the ball. After opting to ball, they started good picking up an early wicket but they lost the plot completely as Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav continued to play with the field carving the bowling over the fence. The duo stitched a 90-run stand as Yadav departed just three shy of his half ton. Then came Saurabh Tiwary who along with his skipper stiched another valuable stand of 49 runs as Rohit went past his fifty. Tiwary too depa
