Gujarat 36-0 (5 ovs) vs Kolkata 158-4 | Scorecard


Spin introduced quite early as Shakib Al Hasan is called into the attack after just one over from Morkel.

Smith sweeps the second ball powerfully behind square on the leg side for a four. Two balls later, he hits one straight to mid-off but Suryakumar lets it go through for another boundary.

McCullum chips down the track to the last ball but gets an inside edge and it goes perfectly in the gap through midwicket for the third four of the over, which goes for 13 runs.

In the next over, Russell attempts a short ball but it goes way down the leg side for five wides. The next ball is hit fine on the leg side for another wide as Russell goes for 11 runs in his second over.

Another spinner comes on, in the form of leggie Piyush Chawla. He makes a tidy start, giving away just two runs. McCullum is keen to break free but has been unable to get his timing right.
