Mumbai 18-0 (3 ovs) vs KKR 133-7 | Scorecard

Mumbai's openers Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock have their task cut out, they will just need to bat normally and avoid giving early wickets.

For KKR, the only way back is a few early wickets, if Mumbai get off to a start then they will cruise to victory.

Sandeep Warrier to open the bowling for KKR. He starts with two dot balls to de Kock before the left-hander pulls a short ball and clears the man at fine leg for a six. He then hits the next ball through the covers for two runs before keeping strike with one from the last ball.

Left-arm pacer Harry Gurney from the other end. De Kock turns the first ball on the leg side for one before Rohit defends a slower ball. The pacer then bowls a wide and Rohit clips the last ball through square leg for two runs.

Warrier continues and he starts his second over with a no-ball after his hands dislodged the bails before he delivered the ball. But he bowls a good yorker as de Kock can get just one from the free hit delivery.

Three more singles as Mumbai reach 18 for no loss in three overs.
