April 28, 2016 22:48

Mumbai 102-3 (12 ovs) vs KKR 174-5 | SCORECARD

Andre Russell comes into the attack. Jos Buttler gets off the mark with a single from the third ball before Rohit turns the next ball through the leg side for a four and takes one from the last ball.

At the halfway stage, Mumbai are 85 for three in 10 overs, with another 90 needed from the last 10 overs for victory at exactly nine runs per over.

Rohit, who is batting on 43 from 31 balls, holds the key, while they would also be looking towards Buttler to score some quick runs in the middle overs.

Shakib comes back and sends down another tidy over, giving away just six runs for a total of one for 20 in thee overs.

Buttler gets his first boundary as he slashes the first ball from Russell square on the off-side for a four and then takes one. Russell drops short as Rohit pulls it over midwicket for a four to bring up MI's 100, in the 12th over.

He looks to paddle the next ball but fails to make proper connection as he takes a single to bring up his fifty from just 36 balls.
