Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Indian Premier League, 2022 Full score card

OUT! RUN OUT! Sensational stuff from Rinku Singh and Kolkata finish things off with three run-outs! Have you ever seen that? Andre Russell angles in a pacy delivery onto leg stump and Riley Meredith awkwardly tucks it away towards square leg. The batters look to scamper through for a run but Rinku is quick to get on to the ball and in a single fluid motion throws it back onto the stumps at the batter's end. The third umpire checks the review and Jasprit Bumrah is short of his crease. KOLKATA WIN BY 52 RUNS!

Riley Meredith is the last man in for Mumbai.

OUT! Kieron Pollard IS RUN OUT! Pollard goes now. Gets a reprieve from a dropped catch but gets run out and with that Kolkata might feel they have the game now. Russell angles a short ball, directed onto the body. Kieron Pollard backs away and tries to pull but gets a top edge and the ball goes way, way high in the air. It goes to the left of the keeper and takes miles to come down. Sheldon Jackson, the keeper, calls for it and shuffles around but he was never comfortable there. He fails to catch it and Varun Chakaravarthy hanging across, collects the ball. Meanwhile, Pollard takes the advantage and calls for a quick second run but the throw comes in to the keeper's end where Shreyas Iyer does the job. Kieron Pollard was well short as the replay confirms and he has to walk back.

This is on a length, slow and down the leg side. Pollard misses his flick and the ball brushes his thigh pad on its way.

Jasprit Bumrah comes in.

OUT! RUN OUT! That is a very poorly judged second run and Kumar Kartikeya has to depart. Cummins angles it on the pads and Kumar Kartikeya heaves it off the inner half of the bat towards deep backward square leg. Kieron Pollard calls him for the second run in order to keep strike for the next over but it was never on. Ajinkya Rahane with a strong throw into Sheldon Jackson's mitts and the keeper does the rest.

Around the hips, tucked away behind square on the leg side for just another single. Mumbai need boundaries and need plenty of them.

SAFE! Pat Cummins angles it at the body of Kumar Kartikeya and the batter just about manages to chip it on the bounce towards mid on. The batters scamper through for a run but Shreyas Iyer gets in the direct hit at the bowler's end. It is taken upstairs and the replay shows that Kartikeya is well in.

Is that run out? Kumar Kartikeya is well in his crease when the stumps light up and he survives.

Drinks! Kolkata are nearing towards the win but Kieron Pollard is standing in between.

Can Kieron Pollard take his team over the line?

Just 5 runs off it, another good over for Kolkata. Kumar Kartikeya makes a bit of room for himself by moving past the leg stump and Southee follows him. Kartikeya pushes it out on the off side. 59 needed now off 24 balls.

A dot to begin with! Outside off, length. Ramandeep Singh slashes but misses. Singh needs to get a move on now.

Drinks! The first phase of the chase has been filled with some very important events and none bigger than the dismissal of Rohit Sharma. Apart from that Ishan Kishan has managed to get himself in and now needs to convert it into a big one. With no Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma also back in the hut, Kolkata will hope to pick up a couple of more wickets at the earliest and then they will certainly have the upper hand. 108 needed off 66 balls and an important middle phase awaits. Venkatesh Iyer to roll his arm now.

Tilak Varma tries to dab it away to third man but there was no room to play the shot and he ends up getting a thick outside edge off the higher part of the balde to first slip where Nitish Rana takes it.

Tilak Varma is the new man in. And Pat Cummins will bowl from the other end.

OUT! TAKEN! What a catch from Sheldon Jackson and what a review as well from Kolkata! This is just what they would have wanted at the interval, to get Rohit Sharma as early as possible. Tim Southee bowls this one on a good length around off and the ball jags back in a bit. Sharma hops and tries to turn it leg side but the ball goes off the thigh pad. Jackson dives forward and across to his right and sticks out the right glove to pouch it. It is not given by the umpire but on reviewing UltraEdge shows a lot of spikes even before the ball reaches the bat and the ball seems to be missing the bat. But the third umpire has to depend on the technology and the decision is reversed as there is a spike when the ball is near the bat as well. Rohit Sharma feels a bit hard done by that decision and maybe rightly so.

Review! Kolkata take a review for a caught behind decision. There is a lot of murmur on the UltraEdge and a big one when the ball passes the bat. The third umpire feels it is out as he has to depend on what the technology shows and hence it is given out. Rohit Sharma is left in disbelief as he walks back.

Sharma will feel he missed out there. Short and wide, Sharma hangs back and slaps it straight to the man at cover-point.

Sharma tries to be aggressive now. Rohit Sharma steps down the track and Southee pulls back his length and angles it into the body. Sharma misses his swing across the line and gets hit on the body.

On a good length, outside off and swinging back in late. Sharma lets it through to the keeper.

A couple of runs to get going for Rohit Sharma. This is drifted on the pads, flicked away past square leg for two and Mumbai are underway.

Just a hint of swing for Tim Southee here. Southee bowls this one on a length, around off and looks to take it away from Rohit Sharma. Rohit taps it to the man at covers.

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.

No hat-trick! Bumrah just misses the yorker and Southee manages to dig it out.

Tim Southee walks out.

OUT! 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.

Sunil Narine comes in.

OUT! 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!

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

Pat Cummins is the new man in.

OUT! TAKEN! Jasprit Bumrah is having a brilliant outing and picks up his third wicket of the game. Pacy short ball, outside off.

Sheldon Jackson is the new man in.

OUT! 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. This is short and on middle, Rana probably was not expecting it, tries to fend at it awkwardly. There is a sound as the ball passes the glove. Kishan takes it and he puts in a loud appeal. Nothing from Bumrah and the umpire too shakes his head. Kishan wants it to be reviewed and it is. Replays show that the on-field call has to be overturned. Rana was off as soon as he saw the first replay. He just knew he was a goner. Can Mumbai now keep Kolkata under 190?

Short and on middle, this is pulled through square leg for one.

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.

OUT! 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. This can keep Kolkata under 200 now.

A corker of a yorker to begin with! Russell manages to jam it out!

Jasprit Bumrah (1-0-5-0) is back into the attack.

A dot to end an action-packed over! On the pads, Rana sweeps but finds short fine leg. He will not be happy with himself. He will feel, he should have put that away. 13 runs and a wicket from the over.

FOUR! More! Rana is playing a gem here! On the pads, Rana sweeps it towards deep square leg. Bumrah runs to his left, he is done in by turn away from him. He dives but it beats him and goes into the fence.

Flatter and into the pads, this is worked through square leg for one.

SIX! Just over! Russell is on 8 from two balls now. On middle, a little too full, this is hit flat but he has hit it well enough to clear the man at long on.

Two! Russell goes for it straightaway! This is tossed up outside off, spins away. Russell looks to go big but this goes off the outer half, clears cover for two.

Andre Russell is the next man in.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! What a delivery that is! Big turn and bounce! Kolkata won't mind seeing that. This is tossed up, it lands on off and then spins away big. 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.

FOUR! Shorter one outside off, Nitish Rana hits it hard through covers. The ball goes behind the ropes for a boundary.

Another shorter one, Nitish Rana tries to scoop it as he shuffles across but misses again.

Shorter one on middle, Nitish Rana tries to play at it but misses.

SIX! Fuller one outside off, Nitish Rana comes forward and lofts it over deep extra cover for a maximum. Pollard just watches it sail over.

Kieron Pollard (1-0-9-0) to bowl from the opposite end now.

FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! That has been hit really hard! Short and outside off, Iyer stands tall and slaps it through covers. This one races away to the fence.

Length and outside off, Rana waits and then guides it down to third man for one.

Bangs it short again and on the body, slower, Iyer is early in the pull, it goes off the glove down to fine leg for one.

Yes, he does! A full toss on middle, this is eased down to long on for one.

Shorter and on middle, Rahane plays the pull, it goes towards deep square leg for another single.

Rana steps out, the length is shortened, he guides it towards point for one.

Shorter and on middle, Rahane pulls it through square leg for one.

FOUR! That is lovely placement! Shorter and outside off, Rahane waits and then guides it past point, this races away to the fence. Not the ideal line by Pollard with third man up. He is under pressure now.

Drinks! Kolkata were scoring at a quick rate but after the Powerplay, runs dried up and both the batters are struggling now a bit. Credit to Mumbai for keeping it tight and they will hope to control the middle phase. Also, Kieron Pollard to have a bowl now.

On a length and on middle, this is pulled towards deep square leg for one.

NOT OUT! Rahane is in! Another dot though! Kumar Kartikeya slows it up and lands it outside off, Rahane looks to go over covers but this one turns away and he is beaten. Kishan whips the bails off and appeals. It is taken upstairs. They check if there is an edge first, Ultra Edge shows no spike and now they check whether Rahane is in the crease and he surely is.

A stumping appeal! Rahane has a wild swing and misses. Kishan is quick to clip the bails off. UltraEdge shows no bat there. Rahane has his foot down and he survives. Not out.

Smart batting, rotating the strike after a boundary. On off, pushed away towards covers for a quick single.

We are ready for play! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Mumbai as they spread out on the field. Kolkata have gone back to the opening combination of Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer for this game. Daniel Sams to start proceedings with the ball for Mumbai. Let's play...

Kolkata (Playing XI) - Ajinkya Rahane (In for Aaron Finch), Venkatesh Iyer (In for Baba Indrajith), Shreyas Iyer (C), Rinku Singh, Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (WK) (In for Anukul Roy), Pat Cummins (In for Harshit Rana), Sunil Narine, Tim Southee, Varun Chakaravarthy (In for Shivam Mavi).

Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Kolkata says they are happy to bat first as the wickets look pretty green. Adds that they are batting strong at the moment, they will hope to get a good total on the board. 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. Informs that Suryakumar Yadav is out due to an injury and Ramandeep Singh comes in to replace him.

TOSS - Up goes the coin and it lands in favor of Mumbai. They have elected to BOWL first!

PITCH REPORT - Graeme Smith is pitchside. Smith says that the dimensions tonight are much more even and the surface a bit patchy. Adds that underneath there is dry, red soil and the grass cover has worn off. Mentions that this stadium has been useful for the slower bowlers but the success to that is bowling wicket-to-wicket. 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.

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.

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?

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 to be easy for Kolkata who are themselves on a poor run. Can they turn the tables around here? We will find out.

... MATCH DAY ...
