Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, Just a single! Take a bow, Jasprit Bumrah! Almost a yorker, on middle. It is pushed to mid off for a quick single. Kolkata end their innings on 165 for 9.

We are back for Mumbai's reply. 

... THE CHASE...

Man of the moment, Jasprit Bumrah is down for a quick chat. Bumrah says it was a good day. Says it was going his way and it was important to stay in the present and not to overdo things. Adds that he needed to do the job for his team, that gives him satisfaction. There is no fixed mindset, he trains for all situations. Tells that he just wants to contribute to the team in any way possible. Tells that he assessed the pitch and went accordingly with the bouncer or a yorker.

Kolkata will be thoroughly disappointed with the way they tried to go after Bumrah tonight. Most teams have just tried to see him off but not Kolkata and this might just cost them. For the first time this season, their openers got to a 50-run stand and the platform was set up nicely but untimely wickets slowed them down a touch. Nitish Rana was still going good but Bumrah got rid of him and dangerman Andre Russell in quick succession to put Kolkata on the back foot and they just couldn't chang

Mumbai might be out of the competition but boy, would they love to spoil Kolkata's chances of making it through to the playoffs. They were expensive inside the Powerplay and the spinners weren't as effective but Kumar Kartikeya did pick up a couple of wickets to get Mumbai back into the game. Jasprit Bumrah was brought back in for one over in the middle phase and he turn the tide in that over itself sending back Rana and Russell. He came back at the death to pick up three more wickets to earn

Right then! Mumbai looked to be chasing a target of around 200 but they need 166 runs to win the game and make it three wins on the trot. Kolkata will need an inspirational performance with the ball in order to win the game and stay in the hunt for a playoffs berth. The exciting chase coming up next.

Well, that escalated quickly! The first innings was filled with excitement from beginning to end. Kolkata batters bossed the first half or so with Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana being the standout performers. But what a final few overs from Jasprit Bumrah and co! Bumrah bowled his last two overs giving away just one run and picked up three wickets during that time as well.

Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, Will this be a maiden for Bumrah? Full and on middle. Singh turns it to mid-wicket. 

Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, No run again! On a length and angling on leg. Singh shuffles to pull but mistimes it to fine leg. The batters are halfway mark but end up going back to their respective crease. No run again.

Jasprit Bumrah to Sunil Narine, ! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Five-fer for Jasprit Bumrah! What a spell this is turning out to be! He was kept at the backend and he is returning the favours to his skipper. Yet another well directed short ball, on middle. Narine gets a straight bat in front to block it but the ball goes of the higher part of the bat and Jasprit Bumrah sprints forward to take it. He is on a Hat Trick.  

Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, ! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust and Jasprit Bumrah is dragging things back for Mumbai really nicely. Another short ball from Bumrah, he gets it around head height and Pat Cummins just tries to swing bhis bat at it. The ball just has too much pace on it and takes the top edge. The ball skies up towards backward square leg where Tilak Varma takes a simple catch. The dangerous Cummins departs early and Bumrah has four!

Sunil Narine comes in.

Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, Feisty from Bumrah! Bumrah delivers a 146.8 kph bumper first up to Cummins and he is diving for cover here.

Jasprit Bumrah to Nitish Rana, ! THERE IS A SPIKE ON ULTRA EDGE AND RANA HAS TO GO NOW! Two new batters out there with just the 5 overs to go. That is exactly what Mumbai would have wanted. What an over from Bumrah. Two wickets and just the three runs and he has got his side back into the game.

Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, Short and on middle, this is pulled through square leg for one. 

Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, Misfield and two! Length and on off, this is pushed towards cover. The fielder lets it through and two is taken. 

Rinku Singh walks out to bat now.

Jasprit Bumrah to Andre Russell, ! TAKEN! That is the wicket Mumbai needed right now. The dangerous Russell is out of here. The man who was held back to bowl to him has done the trick. This is shorter and on middle, Russell looks to go over the long on fence, He ends up mistiming it as it goes more off the splice. Pollard at long on takes an easy catch.

Iyer comes forward to defend but the ball kisses the outside edge and Kishan takes a smart catch. A wicket after the break. Can Mumbai build on this now? .

Drinks! Kolkata have really stepped on the gas now, especially Nitish Rana. Rana is taking the game by the scruff of the neck and is causing a lot of worry to Rohit Sharma. The Mumbai pacers haven't been much effective and even though Kumar Kartikeya has picked up a couple of wickets, the spinners have gone the distance. Mumbai need wickets now to stem the flow of runs or they could be chasing a target of over 200 runs. Also, Murugan Ashwin is brought back into the attack.

Kumar Kartikeya to Venkatesh Iyer, ! CAUGHT! Venkatesh Iyer goes a bit too hard at this one and ends up giving his wicket away.

... MATCH DAY ...

All Mumbai can do now is play party spoilers and they would love to spoil Kolkata’s party. They have started to find their mojo and Kolkata are probably still a team that is finding out its best XI. The only positive for Kolkata heading into this game is, that they have managed to do well against Mumbai in the recent past but can they rack up a win here?

BREAKING NEWS - The news from the Mumbai camp is that Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a muscle injury.

Hello and a warm welcome to match number 56. It is Mumbai against Kolkata! These two sides have won the Indian T20 League a total of 7 times combined but this year, both have struggled. Mumbai are already out and Kolkata have a slight, very slight chance of making it through. They’ll need to win almost all their games if they are to have a chance but they come up against a side who they have not only struggled against in the past but a side that has started to win as well. This is not going t

Jasprit Bumrah to Rinku Singh, Just a single! Take a bow, Jasprit Bumrah! Almost a yorker, on middle. It is pushed to mid off for a quick single. Kolkata end their innings on 165 for 9.

We are back for Mumbai's reply. 

... THE CHASE...

Man of the moment, Jasprit Bumrah is down for a quick chat. Bumrah says it was a good day. Says it was going his way and it was important to stay in the present and not to overdo things. Adds that he needed to do the job for his team, that gives him satisfaction. There is no fixed mindset, he trains for all situations. Tells that he just wants to contribute to the team in any way possible. Tells that he assessed the pitch and went accordingly with the bouncer or a yorker.

Kolkata will be thoroughly disappointed with the way they tried to go after Bumrah tonight. Most teams have just tried to see him off but not Kolkata and this might just cost them. For the first time this season, their openers got to a 50-run stand and the platform was set up nicely but untimely wickets slowed them down a touch. Nitish Rana was still going good but Bumrah got rid of him and dangerman Andre Russell in quick succession to put Kolkata on the back foot and they just couldn't chang

Mumbai might be out of the competition but boy, would they love to spoil Kolkata's chances of making it through to the playoffs. They were expensive inside the Powerplay and the spinners weren't as effective but Kumar Kartikeya did pick up a couple of wickets to get Mumbai back into the game. Jasprit Bumrah was brought back in for one over in the middle phase and he turn the tide in that over itself sending back Rana and Russell. He came back at the death to pick up three more wickets to earn

Right then! Mumbai looked to be chasing a target of around 200 but they need 166 runs to win the game and make it three wins on the trot. Kolkata will need an inspirational performance with the ball in order to win the game and stay in the hunt for a playoffs berth. The exciting chase coming up next.

Well, that escalated quickly! The first innings was filled with excitement from beginning to end. Kolkata batters bossed the first half or so with Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana being the standout performers. But what a final few overs from Jasprit Bumrah and co!

Iyer comes forward to defend but the ball kisses the outside edge and Kishan takes a smart catch. A wicket after the break. Can Mumbai build on this now? .

Drinks! Kolkata have really stepped on the gas now, especially Nitish Rana. Rana is taking the game by the scruff of the neck and is causing a lot of worry to Rohit Sharma. The Mumbai pacers haven't been much effective and even though Kumar Kartikeya has picked up a couple of wickets, the spinners have gone the distance.

Tells that opening has been an issue but there are ups and downs and they are not thinking much about it. Informs there are five changes. 

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai says that they will have a bowl first and adds that there's no particular reason for that and they want to chase a good score tonight. Mentions that the season has been up and down for the team and they try to maximize the opportunities and the last two games have been fruitful, so will look to continue the momentum.

Smith ends by saying that the pitch should play alright and there might be dew later on and hence, the captain winning the toss should look to bowl first.

... MATCH DAY ...

All Mumbai can do now is play party spoilers and they would love to spoil Kolkata’s party. They have started to find their mojo and Kolkata are probably still a team that is finding out its best XI. The only positive for Kolkata heading into this game is, that they have managed to do well against Mumbai in the recent past but can they rack up a win here?

BREAKING NEWS - The news from the Mumbai camp is that Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to a muscle injury.

Hello and a warm welcome to match number 56. It is Mumbai against Kolkata! These two sides have won the Indian T20 League a total of 7 times combined but this year, both have struggled. Mumbai are already out and Kolkata have a slight, very slight chance of making it through. They’ll need to win almost all their games if they are to have a chance but they come up against a side who they have not only struggled against in the past but a side that has started to win as well. This is not going t
