KKR 174-5 (20 ovs) vs Mumbai | SCORECARD

Yusuf Pathan gets off the mark with a beautiful drive through the covers for a four and hits another boundary off the next ball through square leg to get off the blocks in smashing fashion.

Lynn, on two, gets a lifeline as Southee puts down a straightfoward chance at deep square leg. The Kiwi paceman makes it two in two as this time he puts down Pathan and both times, it is his New Zealand team mate McClenaghan, who is at the receiving end. Interestingly, McClenaghan also put down a simple catch early on, so the Kiwis are not having a good day in the field.

Infact, Southee not only dropped Pathan but also let the ball through for a four. Two balls later, Pathan pulls a short ball perfectly in the gap for another four.

McClenaghan finishes with one for 33 in four overs and will feel unlucky that he didn't end up with a few more wickets.

Bumrah to bowl the final over. Lynn heaves the first ball over the leg side but Hardik Pandya does well to flick the ball as he falls over after taking the catch to keep it down to two runs. Lynn hit the next two balls for successive doubles before he is beaten by a yorker and then picks one.

The last ball is a full toss but Pathan can only get a single as KKR finish on a healthy 174 for five in their 20 overs.
