Starc to bowl the penultimate over. On the slot and David picks it up to perfection to launch in into the stands! STARC STRIKES! Length delivery, David lofts it but it goes into the hands of Shreyas. TWO IN TWO! Soft dismissal as Chawla is caught at covers. Bumrah is in next. Starc nails the yorker, Bumrah takes a quick single. DONE AND DUSTED! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Yet another perfect yorker as Mumbai is all out for 145! KKR HAS REGISTERED A WIN AT THE WANKHEDE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2012 

With this, Mumbai Indians has been officially knocked out of this edition of the IPL! 

Russell continues. Short and towards David’s thighpad and it takes a deflection off the thighs and runs away fine, two runs. Huge appeal from Russell and Shreyas decides to go upstairs. Hawkeye shows wickets missing, KKR has lost both the reviews now. Short from Russel and Coetzee had all the time to rock back and pull it over the fence for a SIX! Swing and a miss. MI needs 32 off the final 2 overs

Starc returns, replaces Varun. In the slot, Coetzee drives but it goes straight to the cover fielder, dot. Wonderful over from Starc, just three runs conceded

Russel replaces Vaibhav. Juicy full toss, SKY tries to go big but miscues it. It goes high but Salt makes no mistake in pouching it! Huge moment in the game, SKY GONE! Coetzee in at nine. Slightly short, David checks his short at the last moment, it takes a leading edge but falls safe

Suryakumar Yadav c Salt b Russell 56 (35b 6x4 2x6) SR: 160

Varun to complete his quota. Skidded straight to David, he tries to go through covers but it takes an outside edge, beats the keeper and runs away for a FOUR! Dot to end the over, nine from that over

Vaibhav replaces Russell. Short from Vaibhav and Surya lofts it over short third for a FOUR! Low-full toss and its a dot but the sires goes off, no-ball! SKY makes full use of it, opens the face of the bat and goes over covers for a SIX! Short and that’s pulled away for a FOUR. SKY gets to his 50 in style! Another short one, another pull and yet another FOUR! Huge over for Mumbai

Narine to bowl his final over. Directed towards the pads, Sruya flicks it deep to collect a double, superb work from Venkatesh Iyer near the boundary line to save a couple of runs. Just as the pressure was piling, David plays a sweep to perfection and gets a FOUR! 

Russell continues. ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! HARDIK DISMISSED FOR A 2 BALL 1! Hardik, cramped for room, tries to flick it on the legside but it takes a leading edge and falls into the hands of Pandey! Russell goes short and it’s given an overhead wide, KKR reviews but it’s unsuccessful. Review lost. Full and straight, Surya gets hold of it and launches it past the fence for a SIX! The over comes to an end with a single

Narine back into the attack, replaces Varun. Starts off with a dot to Wadhera. The change of ends pays off as Narine castles Wadhera’s stumps. Mumbai in a spot of bother now. What an over from the West Indian! Just four off it and a wicket

Nehal Wadhera b Narine 6 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 54.54

Andre Russell to bowl now. Surya on strike. He pushes the first ball to deep mid wicket for one run. FOUR! Wadhera slashes hard and Rinku, at deep points, is done by the swerve on the ball and runs past the ball. A wide down the leg brings another run for MI. KKR reviews the call and gets the decision overturned. A quick single off the last ball as the ball deflects onto Wadhera’s pad and dies next to him.

Varun again. FOUR! Width from the bowler and Surya slashes it past backward point. A single to mid wicket on the second. Tilak flicks into the gap between mid wicket and long on for two runs. OUT! Oh Tilak what have you done? This would have been wide had Tilak left it alone. Instead, he chases it and gets a top edge to short third man.

Tilak Varma c Narine b Varun 4(6)

Nehal Wadhera is the new batter.

Surya faces Narine, two runs. The batter reads the ball coming into him after pitching and sweeps it behind square. Vaibhav makes a diving save to prevent a boundary. He taps the third to long on for a single. Tilak punches the fifth to long off; one run. Surya hits off the back foot to long on again for a single.

Suryakumar faces Varun, one run with a drive to long on. Tilak Varma off the mark with a push to long off for one. ALMOST! Surya is surprised by the ball sticking onto the pitch. He nearly hands a return catch to the bowler. Taps the final down the ground for one.

Sunil Narine into the attack. FOUR! Surya gets on his back foot and opens the bat face. The fielder at cover puts in a dive but misses. A single on the next with a poke in front of square on the on side. GONE! Rohit tries to take on the spinner, miscues his pull and holes out at mid wicket. 

Rohit Sharma c Pandey b Narine 11(12)

WICKET! Varun Chakaravarthy strikes on the first ball. Dhir looks to play across the line and is beaten. The ball skids on and does not turn much to rearrange the stumps.

Naman Dhir b Varun 11 (11)

Suryakumar Yadav at No. 4. He waits for the ball to come at him before nudging it to deep square for one. Rohit drives wide of mid off to pick a single. Surya pushes the last ball to deep mid wicket, one run.

Starc to Rohit, wide down the leg and Salt fails to gather it which allows another two runs. SIX for Rohit! In the slot and Rohit scoops it over the in field on the off side. Gets a single to fine leg next. Dhir drives to mid on for a single but an overthrow sees him get back for another. Dhir pulls the final ball to square leg for another single.

Vaibhav to Rohit, works it away to deep mid wicket for a single. Dhir tries to heave the third delivery through the on side but misses the timing. FOUR! Comes into Dhir and he whips it on the up to pick the fence. FOUR more as Dhir pulls this short ball over mid wicket.

Mitchell Starc to Ishan, rapped on the pads! But its going down leg and Ishan survives. FOUR! Room on offer and Ishan creams it over covers. SIX! Starc gives a freebie on the pads and Ishan whips it over square leg. GONE! Starc breaks the leg stump as Ishan misses his slog.

Ishan Kishan b Starc 13(7)

Naman Dhir is next for Mumbai. There’s a sound as the ball passes down Dhir’s leg side. KKR is up in appeal but the umpire denies. After pondering it, they decide against a review. 

Vaibhav Arora to bowl the first over. Ishan on strike. A single of the first ball, Ishan gets it on the pads which he flicks past square leg. Too much swing on the next as the ball goes for a wide down the leg. Another one that jags back into Rohit, an inside egde on the on side and the batter collect a quick single. Ishan cuts to third man for another run. Rohit goes for a wild heave on the fifth, gets it off the inside edge to fine leg and runs one. Another run to third man for Ishan makes it six from the first over.

Shreyas Iyer looks calm as he addresses the team huddle. 

Ishan Kishan and Impact Sub Rohit Sharma walk out for the home team.

MI needs to win all its games to stay alive in IPL 2024 and 170 would have been a total it would have taken happily before the match. But given where KKR was after the PowerPlay, the home team will wonder if it let the opposition get away with a little too many runs.

The run chase coming up shortly!

Bumrah to bowl the final over. Starts off with a perfect yorker to Iyer, dot. Goes fuller, angles it away, Iyer swings and misses as it is yet another dot. Low full toss, Iyer hits it straight and gets a quick double. THAT’S THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN! ANOTHER YORKER, ANOTHER WICKET! Iyer tried to get creative and missed as the ball crashed on to the middle stump. KKR 169 all out

Thushara starts off with a wide. Three dots in as many balls. Good over so far. This time he goes short and takes the pace off, Venky pulls it hard to get a SIX! Just outside off, Iyer plays a switch hit to get a FOUR! Gets a single off the final ball to retain the strike

Bumrah replaces Thushara. Two runs off the first three deliveries. AND BUMRAH STRIKES! He went short, Ramandeep was cramped for space and tries a ramp shot only to hit it straight to Coetzee at deep third. Mitchell Starc is in at 10. And his stay in the middle is short lived. BUMRAH NAILS THE YORKER to get rid of STARC

Ramandeep Singh c Coetzee b Bumrah 2 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50

Mitchell Starc b Bumrah 0

Hardik is in to bowl his final over. Aand Pandey welcomes him with a huge SIX! Hardik follows it up with a wide but MI has opted for a review. The decision stays and MI loses a review. HARDIK STRIKES RIGHT BACK! Pandey perishes as he is deceived for pace and miscues it to Brewis at extra covers. Andre Russell is in next. That is one way to make an entrance! SIX! Pandya goes short and wide, Russell slashes his bat and gets the desired connection as the ball sails over the ropes. Iyer moves to his right, Hardik adjusts his line but it doesn’t matter as Iyer picks it up and smokes it past the fence. HUGE MIX UP! Iyer tried a switch hit and initiated a run, as Russell was half way through, he was sent back. Before Russel could make it to the non-strikers end, Hardik collected the ball and castled the stumps. RUSSEL WALKS BACK! Ramandeep Singh is the next batter in. 

Manish Pandey c sub (D Brevis) b Pandya 42 (31b 2x4 2x6) SR: 135.48

Andre Russell run out (Thushara/Pandya) 7 (2b 0x4 1x6) SR: 350

Thushara back in action, replaces Bumrah. Venkatesh Iyer gets to his half century with a single, he has taken 36 balls. Thushara bowls an over the waist no ball. Short and outside off Pandey lofts it and gets a single from it. Just five came off the over 

Hardik continues. Three runs off the first two deliveries, including a double. Hardik goes short this time, Pandey tries to replicate the ramp shot from last over but misses, dot. Single to finish the over. Strategic timeout

Bumrah back into the attack, replaces Coetzee. He directs it towards Pandey’s thigh pad and he flicks it to deep midwicket for a FOUR. Short and that’s put away for a SIX! Pandey just had to ensure he got the elevation right. Good over for KKR, 13 off the over 

Hardik returns, replaces Chawla. Starts off with a dot and follows it up with a wide but MI goes upstairs and that’s spot on, the decision is reversed as the ball was within the reach of Pandey. Eight runs came from that over 

Coetzee replaces Naman. He goes short and on the body but Iyer anticipates it to perfection and pulls it for a FOUR. Full and pitched outside, Iyer gets his bat to it and it was running away but Tilak’s dive saves a couple of runs. Outside off yet again, Iyer steps out and goes inside out to end the over with a maximum! And that brings up KKR’s 100 as well

Chawla continues. Down the legside yet again, Iyer comes down the track and chips it deep to get a double. Wrong-un this time, it’s down the legs as well but Iyer flicks it fine as the ball races away to the boundary! Iyer steps out, goes through the line and smacks straight but SKY’s brilliant effort at long-off restricts it to just a single

Wide and outside off from Naman and its put away for a FOUR through the cover region, easy pickings for Pandey. Towards the pads, Iyer flicks it and finds the gap to collect a quick double

Chawla to Venkatesh, one run. Nearly another caught and bowled. The batter punches down the ground off his back foot but gets it in the air. Thankfully for him, it goes wide of the bowler. Just four runs from it.

Naman Dhir again. Eight runs from the over. The batters duly focussing on picking the singles now to keep the scorecard running.

WICKET! Piyush Chawla strikes first ball. Rinku Singh looks to work the ball through the on side but the wrong one gets him to hand a leading edge back to the bowler.

Rinku Singh c & b Chawla 9(8)

Manish Pandey in the middle now. He is the KKR Impact Sub. He drives the first ball to deep cover to get off the mark. Venkatesh gets the ball between deep mid wicket and long on to get two runs.

Naman Dhir for the first time. Venkatesh taps the first delivery wide of mid on for a single. Rinku flicks the fourth off the front foot to collect a run. FOUR! Venkatesh picks a boundary with a sweep, some help for him too as Piyush Chawla misfields at square leg.

Hardik to Narine, SIX! Short ball and Narine smokes it over square leg. BOWLED HIM! Another back of a length delivery but this time Narine does not connect. The leg stump is flattened.

Sunil Narine b Pandya 8 (8)

Rinku Singh in next. FOUR! Rinku gets it on the pads and he swipes it away down fine leg. FOUR more! Width on offer for Rinku and uses his levers to loft it through the off side.

Gerald Coetzee to bowl the next. Narine gets the first delivery through mid wicket to get off strike. FOUR! Venkatesh Iyer off the mark with a cover drive. He’s beaten trying to slash outside off on the next delivery. FOUR more! Driven again but this time between cover and mid off.

Thushara to Angkrish, SIX! Angling down leg and the batter just guides it over fine leg. GONE! Angkrish holes out at covers. A soft dismissal!

Angkrish Raghuvanshi c Suryakumar b Thushara 13(6)

Deft! Shreyas Iyer carves the ball through third man region. Clips the next off his pads for two runs. GONE! Thushara gets his third and the KKR captain is on his way back. It is full and on Shreyas’ pads which he chips straight to mid on.

Shreyas Iyer c David b Thushara 6 (4)

A tidy start from Bumrah. Angkrish was nearly played on after getting an inside edge but the ball flew wide of the stumps. 

Thushara to Salt, one run. Drives it on the up and it hangs in the air but flies wide of the point fielder. A leg bye to fine leg for Narine. FOUR! Driven down the ground by Salt, it is in the air again but beats mid off. A wide down leg next. OUT! Salt top edges the next and Tilak Varma runs back from point to collect that even after colliding with Naman Dhir. 

Phil Salt c Tilak Varma b Thushara 5 (3)

Angkrish Raghuvanshi in at No. 3. Another wide down the leg side. Beaten outside off on the next. Angkrish pulls the next for SIX! 

Sunil Narine and Phil Salt to open for KKR.

Nuwan Thushara with the new ball in hand.
