KKR 151-2 (16 ovs) vs Mumbai | SCORECARD


Andre Russell comes in at No. 4 and he would be keen to continue Kolkata's positive approach.

He doesn't take time to get going. Two bouncers from Russell are left alone before the tall West Indian smashes the third short ball through midwicket for a six. Two balls later, he clubs it powerfully down the ground for another maximum as Southee continues to leak runs, finishing with expensive figures of 43 runs in four overs.

KKR looking for a total around the 200-run mark as they reach 138 for two in 15 overs.

In the next over, Russell goes after Harbhajan, crashing the first ball over midwicket for a six. He swings hard again at the fifth ball but gets a thick outside edge for a four past the wicketkeeper.

Harbhajan ends up giving away 13 runs in his final over to finish with one for 31 in four overs.

Russell looks in a rush, smashing his way to 27 from 12 balls, while Gambhir is on 55 from 45 balls.
