Mumbai vs Kolkata Match Stats

Fuller one on middle, Tim David defends it. Nearly a caught and bowled for Varun Chakaravarthy but the ball falls just short.

OUT! CAUGHT! A fuller one on middle, Tim David has had enough of blocking the spinners and decides to take Varun Chakaravarthy on. David though goes a bit too hard at it and ends up launching it towards cow corner. Ajinkya Rahane over there settles under it and takes a fine catch. Mumbai batters not looking to hang around and that could bring their downfall.

Straightaway gives the bowler the charge but Varun fires it on the pads. Pollard pads it away. 

SIX! That is some shot! These are not small boundaries and he has cleared it with ease. Makes room. This is fired on off, Pollard lifts it well over the long on fence for a biggie. 

He is going after everything here! Shorter now and on leg, this is pulled hard through mid-wicket for one. 

A dot to finish which means despite the biggie, 7 from it only. This is fired on the body of Kishan. He looks to let it go but it hits the body and then the keeper behind. 

On middle, this is tucked through square leg for one. 

SIX! Just over! That is a much-needed one of the bowling of Narine. Shortish and on middle, Kishan goes back and pulls it hard, it just clears the leaping fielder at deep mid-wicket.

On off, now pushes it down to long off and takes one. That will be fifty for Ishan Kishan and what a vital knock this could prove to be! He didn't look in the best of form but has managed to keep going.

Pollard comes down the track, the length is shortened. He tries to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. 

DROPPED! That was thumped! It must have stung Shreyas Iyer! You need to hang on to such chances though if you are to win games! Shorter and on middle, Pollard powers the pull, it goes towards mid-wicket where Iyer is standing. He fails to hang on. It goes behind for one. 

A single now! On middle, this is pushed down to long on for one. 

OUT! CAUGHT! A shorter one on middle, Ishan Kishan tries to pull it but gets a top edge. The ball goes high towards backward square leg. A good catch by Rinku Singh who takes it as he falls to his right. The man in form walks away in disappointment. 

Fuller one on middle, Daniel Sams defends it and gets a single.

On a length and on middle, Kieron Pollard flicks it towards square leg and gets a single.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A shorter one on middle, Daniel Sams is cramped as he tries to pull it awkwardly but gets a leading edge. The ball hits him on his helmet and lobs behind to the keeper, Sheldon Jackson who pouches it. Kieron Pollard is feeling lonely now.

A shorter one on leg, Murugan Ashwin leaves it. The ball goes towards the keeper.

OUT! CAUGHT! This is brilliant from Cummins. Third wicket in the over. Shorter one again, around off. Murugan Ashwin this time tries for an upper cut but doesn't get the power. Varun Chakaravarthy at third man takes a comfortable catch just near the boundary line. Pressure building on Pollard now.

A length ball, angled into middle. Pollard works it past square leg and comes back easily for the second.

Southee goes full and tries to attack the pads. Pollard looks to flick but misses and gets it off the pads. The ball rolls towards backward square leg and they get a leg bye.

On the pads, flicked away aerially over mid-wicket for one more.

Leg bye! This is angling down leg, Pollard gets a tickle off the pads towards short fine leg and picks up a leg bye.

Fuller in length and on off, Kartikeya defends it out.

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.

Full and quick, slanted into the pads. Pollard looks to flick it away but misses and gets hit on the pads.

Another dot and the pressure keeps on mounting. Cummins goes short over middle. Pollard backs away looking to upper cut it but misses.

Excellent bowling from Cummins! At the stumps and flicked away towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

WIDE! Quick bumper, around off and this one shoots off the surface. The umpire deems it as a bit too high and a wide is called.

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.

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

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.

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. 

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. 

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!
