Must Read

By Express News Service
With only 152 runs to defend, Mumbai Indians snatched the game away from Kolkata Knight Riders in stunning fashion to post a 10-run victory at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing the target, Kolkata were coasting at 122-4, needing 31 off the last five overs with Shakib Al Hasan and Dinesh Karthik in the middle and Andre Russell yet to bat. But lost three wickets and scored only 20 runs in a dramatic turnaround.

Spinners Rahul Chahar (4-0-27-4) and Krunal Pandya (4-0-13-1) did most of the damage as Kolkata scored just one boundary in the last five overs as Mumbai got off the jail to get their first win of the season. Kolkata’s struggles actually began a lot early when Nitish Rana departed after making 57 as Mumbai began to get a grip of the game. 

Brief scores: MI 152 (Suryakumar 53, Rohit 43, Russell 5/15) bt KKR 142/7 in 20 ovs (Rana 57, Chahar 4/27).
