May 05, 2019 22:26

Mumbai 46-0 (6 ovs) vs KKR 133-7 | Scorecard

Andre Russell comes into the attack, to bowl the fourth over. Rohit nudges the first ball fine, opening the face of the bat at the last minute, for a boundary to the right of the wicketkeeper.

He runs the next ball to thirdman for one before de Kock swings the third ball over midwicket for a six.

De Kock attempts to pull the next ball but gets a top edge which goes over the wicketkeeper for another six.

Russell tries the slower bouncer but de Kock manages to pull it front of square for another four as MI get 21 runs from the pacer's first over.

Rohit nearly loses his wicket as he steers it to short thirdman and attempts a quick single after a bit of hesitation sets off for the quick single and is lucky that the fielder misses the direct hit.

Russell looks visibly upset as he fires in a quick throw straight at de Kock, who takes a quick run before he clashes with the left-hander.

Rohit then lofts the fifth ball over mid-off for a four as MI reach 45 for no loss in five overs.

Sunil Narine comes into the attack. De Kock is beaten first ball outside the off-stump as the spinner gets some sharp turn and he defends the next four balls before taking a single off the last ball.

Mumbai Indians have made a good start, scoring 46 for no loss in six overs, with de Kock on 30 and Rohit on 14.
