Kolkata Knight Riders were on cue from the start. They grabbed an early wicket and gave away just 35 runs in the Powerplay. They kept things quiet up until the 14th over. But then it was all Mumbai from there! They leaked 76 runs in the last 5 overs and let the game slip away from them. Umesh Yadav once again was excellent, he grabbed a wicket and gave away just 25 runs in his spell. It is not going to be an easy chase for Kolkata here!

From 55 for 3 in the 11th over to 161 at the end of the innings, it has been an exceptional recovery from Mumbai! They were struggling at one point but now they have put a fighting total on the board. Kolkata will be a tad disappointed after the start they got.

We are back for the chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

After being asked to bat first, Mumbai have done a great job. They did not get the best of starts as their openers never found their rhythm. Rohit Sharma was the first one to depart. Dewald Brevis came in and played a fiery cameo but he failed to go on till the end. After losing Ishan Kishan it was Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma who put together 83 runs and guided Mumbai over 130 runs. Kieron Pollard came in and smashed 22 runs in 5 balls, and helped Mumbai reach a total of 161! It's o

Tells that he made some plans with Tilak Varma and it went perfectly for them. Adds that he wanted some time in the middle and he knew that after 15-16 balls, he will find his groove. He confidently says they will win it. Mentions there is not much dew and is excited to go out there again.

... MATCH DAY ...

Hello and welcome folks to match number 14, where Kolkata will be taking on Mumbai at the Maharashtra Cricket Association, Pune. Both teams are currently at different ends in the points table. Mumbai are languishing in the bottom half after back-to-back defeats. They will be desperate to open their account in the tournament. While Kolkata are currently at the top half of the table with 4 points by their side. Kolkata will be riding high on confidence and will want to carry on with their winning

We have all witnessed in the past few years that Mumbai do start slowly. But they have already lost two of their games and will be hoping they can turn things quickly before it gets too late. They will be hoping that Suryakumar Yadav returns to the playing XI today and solve their batting woes.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta says it is a fresh pitch. Adds as compared to other venues, the pace and bounce is a lot quicker. Tells there is a lot of live grass and it sounds firm. Mentions the team batting first has won both the games.

Kolkata are coming into this game after an exceptional win. They will be hoping to carry on the same way. Their main weapon so far has been Umesh Yadav and Mumbai will have to think of ways to tackle him. We have an exciting battle ahead of us. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

Kolkata Knight Riders were on cue from the start. They grabbed an early wicket and gave away just 35 runs in the Powerplay. They kept things quiet up until the 14th over. But then it was all Mumbai from there! They leaked 76 runs in the last 5 overs and let the game slip away from them. Umesh Yadav once again was excellent, he grabbed a wicket and gave away just 25 runs in his spell. It is not going to be an easy chase for Kolkata here!

From 55 for 3 in the 11th over to 161 at the end of the innings, it has been an exceptional recovery from Mumbai! They were struggling at one point but now they have put a fighting total on the board. Kolkata will be a tad disappointed after the start they got.

We are back for the chase!

... THE RUN CHASE ...

After being asked to bat first, Mumbai have done a great job. They did not get the best of starts as their openers never found their rhythm. Rohit Sharma was the first one to depart.
