Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Santner to Ramandeep Singh, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! The fun has ended. Pandya makes another change and it pays off. The batter this time gets drawn into a slap outside off and gets an outside edge. The ball flies off the edge and Pandya takes a simple catch at short third man. MI have bowled out KKR for 116. Santner gets his first and KKR would be gutted. This is well below par at this venue. The previous ball was at the sticks, this one was dragged very wide and managed to induce the edge. Excellent thinking from the spinner. Ramandeep Singh c Hardik Pandya b Santner 22(12) [4s-1 6s-2]

Santner to Ramandeep Singh, SIX, goes back and punches the ball over long-on! Massive hit as the ball went into the stands. Powerful blow from Ramandeep Singh. Pandya has gone back to the experience of Santner. Will this work as well?

Boult to Ramandeep Singh, SIX, short of length delivery, slower, at the body. Ramandeep Singh stays back and thumps it over deep mid. Clean hit from Singh

Boult to Ramandeep Singh, 2 runs, and Boult fails to gather it. Had he gathered the throw from the deep, Spencer Johnson was a goner. Was a short of length delivery and Ramandeep Singh pulled it down to deep mid. He had to run back and he did. Two more runs and KKR stay alive

Vignesh Puthur to Ramandeep Singh, 1 run, and Singh takes the single. Ashwani drops another. That was swept away, went low, the ball reached him and he dropped it. Ramandeep Singh took the run. Was on the pads, Singh sat down to sweep it and hit it flat but straight to the fielder. The ball was dipping on him but he should have taken it. He might have picked up the wickets but his fielding has been very poor tonight

Vignesh Puthur to Spencer Johnson, 1 run, spins in, nudged down to deep mid for a single. 100 up

Vignesh Puthur to Harshit Rana, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! Brainless from Harshit Rana. That was needless. There is a batter at the other end. Harshit Rana went for the slog sweep, hit it flat, Dhir came in, dived and took it well. Good catch to send back number 10. KKR are 9 down now. Pandya has been the midas today. Every move has worked for him. He has pressed all the right buttons and has had a perfect game as a skipper today. Harshit Rana c Naman Dhir b Vignesh Puthur 4(8)

Vignesh Puthur to Ramandeep Singh, FOUR, and Ashwani won't bowl! Vignesh Puthur tosses it up, Ramandeep Singh gets under the ball and lofts it iver cover. The ball dribbles down to deep cover for a four. Read the googly well

Ashwani Kumar to Russell, out Bowled!! Ashwani strikes again. MI and their talent scouting is impeccable. Second to none. Was a length ball, kicks on, hits the top of off and middle as Russell tried to swing across the line. Massive wicket again for the young man who has 4 wickets to his credit now. Such a find for MI. They are going berserk at Wankhede. KKR are 8 down. The batter backed away, the ball angled across and hit the top of the sticks. They are going too hard and have kept on losing their wickets. Russell b Ashwani Kumar 5(11) [4s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Russell, FOUR, Russell breaks the shackles! A short of length ball on off, Russell clears his front leg and slaps it past the left side of the diving extra cover fielder. Sweeper cover moves to his right but has no chance to cut it off

Santner to Russell, no run, Russell has been trapped in front but he takes the review straightaway! It looked adjacent to the naked eye. Was on a back of a length on off and skidded after landing, Russell hung back to keep it out but missed to get hit on the back leg. Over to ball-tracking and it's going over the stumps. The length and Russell's height came to his rescue there

Ashwani Kumar to Manish Pandey, out Bowled!! The ploy to give a debut to Ashwani Kumar has worked to perfection for MI! The young man picks up a 3-fer! He bowls a scrambled seam back of a length ball on leg-stump. Manish Pandey stays rooted to the crease as he tries to keep it out but leaves a bat-pad gap. The ball goes right through that and hits the top of leg-stump. Manish Pandey b Ashwani Kumar 19(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Manish Pandey, FOUR, Manish Pandey uses his feet and gets on top of the bounce of this one. He flat-bats it down the ground and the ball races away to the fence

Ashwani Kumar to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! Another one bites the dust! Rinku Singh once again comes down the track but Ashwani Kumar shortens his length and gets this one to climb on Rinku Singh outside off. He throws his bat at it but ends up slicing it behind square on the off-side. Naman Dhir in the deep moves to his right and takes a well-judged catch. Rinku Singh is livid with himself. His team needed him to stay out there for longer. Rinku Singh c Naman Dhir b Ashwani Kumar 17(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Rinku Singh, FOUR, crisp! Rinku Singh uses his feet and moves leg-side in the process. Ashwani Kumar shortens his length but ends up bowling one into the zone. Rinku Singh cuts it over extra cover to get the desired result

Hardik Pandya to Manish Pandey, FOUR, well played! 137.3kph short ball on off, Manish Pandey controls the pull shot nicely through mid-wicket to find the fence. He actually took his eyes off the ball a bit but did well to control his shot

Vignesh Puthur to Rinku Singh, SIX, just clears long-off! Rinku Singh dances down the track, gets close to the pitch of the tossed up delivery and smacks it downtown. Chahar moves to his right and leaps but it clears him and the fence. 14 runs off the over

Vignesh Puthur to Manish Pandey, SIX, poor delivery and duly punished! 50 up for KKR! Another googly but the length is short. Manish Pandey has ample time to rock back and pulls it with authority over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

Hardik Pandya to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! KKR are falling like a pack of cards! They have lost half their side now! Not a great short selection considering that the visitors were already under pressure. A shortish delivery wide outside off, might have come a bit slower than expected. Angkrish Raghuvanshi goes for a pull across the line but miscues it towards deep mid-wicket. Naman Dhir moves to his left and takes a simple catch. Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Naman Dhir b Hardik Pandya 26(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

Chahar to Venkatesh Iyer, out Caught by Rickelton!! KKR have lost four inside the powerplay! The short ball has got the better of Venkatesh Iyer! It was always a good ploy to test him with short balls and the southpaw has succumbed against it. A well-directed bouncer on off, shaping in, good nip on that one. Venkatesh Iyer arches back and makes a belated call to ramp it over the keeper but it is too close to try that shot. Ends up gliding it straight to Rickelton who pouches it safely. Venkatesh Iyer c Rickelton b Chahar 3(9)

Chahar to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR, beautifully played! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Angkrish Raghuvanshi leans ahead and shows the full face of the bat as he laces the drive past the left side of Chahar. The timing is spot on and the ball races to the fence

Boult to Venkatesh Iyer, no run, dropped! That was a really easy chance for the debuntant but he has spilled it! Some nerves on display. A shortish delivery and well outside off, Venkatesh Iyer glides it late but doesn't bother to keep it down. Ashwani Kumar at short third gets low and gets both his hands to it but it doesn't stick

Ashwani Kumar to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, SIX, what a shot! A back of a length ball on middle and leg, sits up nicely for Angkrish Raghuvanshi. He stands tall and short-arm-jabs it beautifully over long leg to clear the fence. Held his pose after playing it

Ashwani Kumar to Venkatesh Iyer, 1 run, dropped! It would have been a great catch if Santner had taken it. Venkatesh Iyer uses his feet and Ashwani Kumar shortens his length. He swings at it but gets a thick edge that lobs over backward point. Santner moves back and dives but it goes through his hands. He actually overran it a bit

Ashwani Kumar to Rahane, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! What a moment for the young man! Ashwani Kumar strikes off his first ball on his debut! For a moment, it looked like Tilak in the deep has lost it but he held his composure after that. A fuller length ball wide outside off, inviting Rahane to throw his bat at it and he does that. It flies towards deep backward point. Tilak goes at it with hard hands in the first attempt and it pops out. But, he shows good reflexes as he turns back, keeps his eyes on the ball and grabs it with his right hand before tumbling down. Rahane c Tilak Varma b Ashwani Kumar 11(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

Boult to Rahane, SIX, hit with authority! A back of a length delivery on middle and leg, Rahane swivels across and pulls it over long leg for a maximum. The length wasn't that short but Rahane got into a great position and helped it on its way

Chahar to Rahane, FOUR, lovely stroke! In the slot around off, Rahane lines it up as he leans ahead and hits it on the up past the non-striker for a rocketing boundary. That was pleasing to the eye

Chahar to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR, this is sublime! A back of a length delivery and some width on offer, Angkrish Raghuvanshi stands tall and cuts it crisply past the left side of backward point to find the fence. Met the ball on top of the bounce and unleased a brilliant stroke

Chahar to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, FOUR, Angkrish Raghuvanshi gets off the mark in style! A fullish ball swinging into middle, Angkrish Raghuvanshi stays well-balanced and flicks it nonchalantly through mid-wicket to find the fence

Chahar to de Kock, out Caught by Ashwani Kumar!! A match-winning knock in the last game but a failure for de Kock tonight! Body blow for KKR. de Kock walks down the track and Chahar bowls it on a length well away from his body outside off. de Kock has to reach out to it as he hits it on the up. It has been hit with power but Ashwani Kumar at mid-off leaps and reverse cups it nicely. He was standing at the edge of the circle and timed his leap to perfection. de Kock c Ashwani Kumar b Chahar 1(3)

Boult to Narine, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! Narine has a negative matchup against Boult and he has been caught all at sea here! Boult steams in and bowls a 136.2kph pitched up ball on middle and generates a good amount of away swing, Narine once again exposes his stumps as he moves leg-side in the process to play an expansive shot but his bat is nowhere near the ball as he swings aimlessly at it. The middle stump is uprooted. Brilliant start for Boult & Co. Narine b Boult 0(2)
