MUMBAI INDIANS WIN BY 6 WKTS!


Mumbai 178-4 (18 ovs) vs KKR 174-5 | SCORECARD

Narine comes back to bowl his fourth and final over with the match firmly in Mumbai's grasp now. Narine makes a good start, giving two singles from his first four balls before Rohit makes up for it by sweeping it for a four and then takes one to retain strike.

Pollard and Rohit have taken the match away from KKR, putting on a quickfire stand of 50 runs from just 24 balls.

Left-arm pacer Unadkat comes into the attack. Pollard drives a full toss straight down the ground for two runs before he smashes a length delivery over midwicket for a six to bring the target down to single digits.

He dismisses the next ball again over long-on for another mightysix to race to 45 form 15 balls, hitting two fours and five sixes.

Two balls later, Pollard hits another big six over long-off, his third in a row, to power Mumbai Indians to a convincing six-wicket victory with 12 balls to spare.

Pollard finishes unbeaten on a quickfire knock of 51 from 17 balls, while Rohit carries his bat through for a superb knock of 68 from 49 balls.

An amazing exhibition of power-hitting from Pollard, who once again proves why he is one of the most dangerous batsmen in the T20 format.

He and Rohit left KKR's bowlers stunned as they hammered an unbeaten stand of 72 runs from just five overs to carry their team to victory.

Mumbai had a horror day in the field as they dropped as many as three catches and missed a stumping but did well to restrict KKR to 174 after they had gotten off to a blazing start.
