Mumbai 188-4 (19.1 ovs) vs KKR 187-4 | SCORECARD


Australia's death over specialist Hastings bowls a brilliant 18th over, his final of the innings, conceding just four runs to keep the KKR slightly ahead in the closing stages.

He manages to keep both Buttler and Rohit quiet at a crucial juncture, finishing with 31 runs from four overs.

Mumbai need 18 from two overs for victory with seven wickets in hand. Buttler is going great guns, on 41 from 21 balls, while Rohit has 67 from 49 balls.

Russell to bowl the 19th over. Rohit lofts the first ball straight back over the bowler's head for a four to make a perfect start to the over.

The next ball is full and wide as Rohit drives it uppishly to sweeper cover for just a single.

Buttler goes after the next delivery but only skies it high and is caught at mid-off as the right-hander walks back after a superb innings of 41 from 22 balls.

Mumbai need 13 from nine balls.

The two batsmen had crossed while the catch was being taken and that proves crucial.

Russell bowls a wide slower ball as Rohit steers it fine on the off-side for a four and lofts the next ball over mid-off for another boundary.

He slog sweeps the last ball of the over through midwicket to make it a hat-trick of fours and level scores.
