Pat Cummins hit an incredible 15-ball 56 as the Kolkata Knight Riders handed the Mumbai Indians a heavy defeat in their IPL match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
After being put in to bat first, MI struggled to get going thanks to a neat little spell by Umesh Yadav. The pacer got rid of Rohit Sharma early and then kept it tight to the in-form Ishan Kishan too.
After 10 overs, MI had only 54/2 on the board and they badly needed a pick-me-up. They got that from Suryakumar Yadav (52 off 36), who returned to the playing XI after a long injury layoff, and Tilak Varma. The duo put together a vital stand of 83 off just 49 balls.
A nice little cameo by Kieron Pollard, who made 22 runs off 5 balls, to MI to 161/4 and seemed to have given a fighting chance.
And that seemed true for most of the KKR chase. Venkatesh Iyer made a valuable 50 not out off 41 balls to hold the innings together on what seemed like a tricky wicket. The ball was doing something and most batters were never really comfortable in the middle.
