Commentary

The entertainment from this match ends here! The action continues in Indian T20 League as Lucknow will face Delhi on 7th April at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up as well. Cheers!

No second guess for who will be the Player of the Match, it is Pat Cummins. He says he is surprised with his knock as well. Mentions that he was not trying to overthink and he was just trying to knock it around. Adds that it is really satisfying to play such a knock in his first game here. States that they are lucky they have kept their core squad from last season, but there are some exciting young players as well. Signs off by saying that he is pretty happy with his knock.

Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of Kolkata says it was extraordinary from Cummins. Adds he cannot believe it, he was getting bowled out in the nets yesterday but just couldn't believe the way he was hitting. He was sitting in the dugout and was seeing the ball fly everywhere. Informs the message to Venkatesh Iyer was to play the anchor role and he was just telling Iyer to time the ball well. Tells the top four need to take responsibility and he feels like they haven't yet played their best cricket. Informs in the powerplay, the pitch was the same, and even when he was batting, it was the same but after then, it become easy.

Time for the presentation...

Venkatesh Iyer is up for a chat. He says that the pitch looked tricky to everyone except Cummins, and he feels good to stick around till the end. Mentions that it is important to hang in there, once he saw wickets falling he wanted to play an anchor role, but he knew there were some big hitters in their batting order.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai says that he never expected Cummins to come in and play like that, but the pitch got better and better. Overall a good pitch for cricket. Says that they had not started well with the bat, but to get over 70 runs in the last 5 was good. Mentions that they had runs on the board and they also took five wickets and they had the game, but it is going to be tough to digest. Concludes by saying that they have been in this position before, but they do not want to be anymore.

It will be really hard for Mumbai to digest it, really really hard. They were in the game for most of the parts. Dominating the powerplay and controlling the middle phase as well. All the bowlers were decent as well but one man took the game away from their hand in a flash. All the good work goes away when you get toiling like this and Mumbai will be disappointed right now. They have now lost their game in a row, and they will have to wait some more to open their account in this tournament.

One of the craziest knocks you will see in Indian T20 League. The pitch might be sticky, pacey, or bouncy for others but not for Pat Cummins today. He was hitting the ball all over the park for fun. Kolkata were in the game despite losing wickets at regular intervals. Venkatesh Iyer played a superb anchoring role for his team and once, Andre Russell fell, it felt like we will have a nail-biter on our hands but Pat Cummins had other ideas. He scored fifty in no time and registered the joint-fastest fifty and guided Kolkata home. Absolutely incredible.

Brutal, absolute brutal from Pat Cummins - 56 off 15 balls - 4 fours and 6 sixes. It is fair to say, this guy is at the peak of his career, be it bowling, batting, or even captaincy. First game for him in this edition and by the looks of it, he was eagerly waiting to step out to showcase his skills. Joint fastest FIFTY by Pat Cummins in the history of the Indian T20 League. Took the game away from Mumbai in a blink of an eye.

15.53nb

No ball! What an effort by Suryakumar Yadav, but it's a no ball! It's all happening here! A full toss, outside off. Pat Cummins smashes it towards long off. Suryakumar Yadav there, catches it with one hand, he throws the ball back in the air since he is about to cross the boundary ropes, he hops back in, and then grabs it again. But it is a no ball called for height and it will be a Free hit! Two taken!

14.61

On middle, Pat drives it to deep mid-wicket for a single. 12 runs off the over. Kolkata need 35 runs in 30 balls.

14.54

FOUR! Full ball, way outside off. Cummins stretches his hand and gets some part of his bat on it. Enough for it to beat the diving short third man fielder and for a boundary.

14.46

14.30

Fullish and outside off, driven straight to cover.

14.11

A length ball, slanting around off. Iyer looks to flick it but gets an inside edge onto the pads. It rolls to short third man for a single. That will be fifty for Venkatesh Iyer, he has an unfinished job and he knows it pretty well.

Drinks! The game is still evenly poised here. But if Mumbai grabs another two wickets, they would be on top. For now, the required rate is not threatening Kolkata. However, they have been losing wickets at intervals. The equation is pretty simple, 47 runs are needed off 36 balls with 5 wickets in hand.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer will open the batting for Kolkata. Basil Thampi will begin with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! Kolkata need 162 runs to grab their third victory of the tournament. But so far the teams batting here first have won the game. Can Mumbai defend this total? We will find out. Stay tuned for the chase!

Suryakumar Yadav is up for a chat. He says it looks like a good score and the pitch looks a bit sticky and feels there are enough runs for the bowlers to defend. 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.

Kolkata 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!

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 on to the bowlers now!

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.

Runs Scored 23 Runs

P Cummins4-0-49-2

19.66

SIX! Two sixes in a row! Full ball, outside off. Pollard swings hard again and makes his bat somehow to connect and the ball flies over third man for a maximum. 22 runs off 5 deliveries, Kieron Pollard! Mumbai end at 161 for 4.

19.56

SIX! EDGE AND SIX! 150 up for Mumbai! Short of a length, outside off. Pollard looks to pull but gets a leading edge, well over the third man fence.

19.42

Full ball, slower and around off. Pollard whacks it through square leg and the deep mid-wicket fielder comes across and keeps it down to two.

19.41wd

Wide! Full ball, way outside off. Pollard swings and misses.

19.36

SIX! Powered! Valuable runs! Cummins misses his line slightly and serves it full and outside off. Pollard shuffles across and connects with all the power he has and hits it to long on for a biggie. No chance for the fielder there.

19.22

NOT OUT! Another widish yorker, outside off. Pollard digs it out to long off and calls for the second run immediately. The fielder there throws it to Cummins who whips the bails off but the replay shows Varma made his ground with a superb dive. The bat was slightly in the air but down just in time. That is commitment.

Is that a run out? There is a throw at the bowler's end. Tilak Varma dives to make his ground! He is safe.

Kieron Pollard walks out to bat now.

19.1W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A widish yorker, outside off. Yadav looks to smash it over covers but seems to miss it. There was a sound as the ball passed the bat there though. An appeal for a caught behind but nothing from the umpire. Kolkata take the review. UltraEdge shows a big spike and that will be the end of a superb knock from Suryakumar Yadav.

The entertainment from this match ends here! The action continues in Indian T20 League as Lucknow will face Delhi on 7th April at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). Do join us in advance for the build-up as well. Cheers!

No second guess for who will be the Player of the Match, it is Pat Cummins. He says he is surprised with his knock as well. Mentions that he was not trying to overthink and he was just trying to knock it around. Adds that it is really satisfying to play such a knock in his first game here.

Mentions that it is important to hang in there, once he saw wickets falling he wanted to play an anchor role, but he knew there were some big hitters in their batting order.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai says that he never expected Cummins to come in and play like that, but the pitch got better and better. Overall a good pitch for cricket. Says that they had not started well with the bat, but to get over 70 runs in the last 5 was good. Mentions that they had runs on the board and they also took five wickets and they had the game, but it is going to be tough to digest. Concludes by saying that they have been in this position before, but they do not want to be anymore.

It will be really hard for Mumbai to digest it, really really hard. They were in the game for most of the parts. Dominating the powerplay and controlling the middle phase as well. All the bowlers were decent as well but one man took the game away from their hand in a flash. All the good work goes away when you get toiling like this and Mumbai will be disappointed right now. They have now lost their game in a row, and they will have to wait some more to open their account in this tournament.

One of the craziest knocks you will see in Indian T20 League. The pitch might be sticky, pacey, or bouncy for others but not for Pat Cummins today. He was hitting the ball all over the park for fun. Kolkata were in the game despite losing wickets at regular intervals. Venkatesh Iyer played a superb anchoring role for his team and once, Andre Russell fell, it felt like we will have a nail-biter on our hands but Pat Cummins had other ideas. He scored fifty in no time and registered the joint-fastest fifty and guided Kolkata home. Absolutely incredible.

Brutal, absolute brutal from Pat Cummins - 56 off 15 balls - 4 fours and 6 sixes. It is fair to say, this guy is at the peak of his career, be it bowling, batting, or even captaincy. First game for him in this edition and by the looks of it, he was eagerly waiting to step out to showcase his skills. Joint fastest FIFTY by Pat Cummins in the history of the Indian T20 League. Took the game away from Mumbai in a blink of an eye.

Commentary

We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer will open the batting for Kolkata. Basil Thampi will begin with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! Kolkata need 162 runs to grab their third victory of the tournament. But so far the teams batting here first have won the game. Can Mumbai defend this total? We will find out. Stay tuned for the chase!

Suryakumar Yadav is up for a chat. He says it looks like a good score and the pitch looks a bit sticky and feels there are enough runs for the bowlers to defend. 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.

Kolkata 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!

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 on to the bowlers now!

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.

The fielder there throws it to Cummins who whips the bails off but the replay shows Varma made his ground with a superb dive. The bat was slightly in the air but down just in time. That is commitment.

Is that a run out? There is a throw at the bowler's end. Tilak Varma dives to make his ground! He is safe.

Kieron Pollard walks out to bat now.

19.1W

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A widish yorker, outside off. Yadav looks to smash it over covers but seems to miss it. There was a sound as the ball passed the bat there though.

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 momentum.
