... The Run Chase ...
Lockie Ferguson is up for a chat. He says that it looks like a good wicket. Mentions that we bowled well up top but they had Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock up top. Believes that Mumbai are a few runs under par. Says that the bowlers did step up and it was an exceptional effort.
Right then! 156 for Kolkata to chase it down. They do have the batting power and they will fancy chasing it down. For Mumbai, their bowlers have to pick wickets in regular intervals. Will they do it? We will find out soon. Stay tuned for the chase.
Kolkata did not have the best of starts as they were finding it difficult to get the breakthrough. They though scalped the wicket of Sharma, courtesy of Narine. They held things back in the middle overs by picking a flurry of wickets and they were right back into the game. Krishna and Ferguson were the pick of the bowlers as they scalped two wickets apiece. In the end, Kolkata will be very happy with the way they have ended the innings and will fancy this chase.
Not the end Mumbai wanted but they had a blistering start as both the openers stitched a partnership of 77. Rohit Sharma was playing the second fiddle as Quinton de Kock was dealing in boundaries.  The runs did dry up in the middle stage but de Kock was making sure the run rate does not drop. Although his innings was cut down shortly by Krishna. After that, wickets started tumbling and a partnership was required badly. Pollard and Pandya did hit some lusty blows in the fag end of the innings and powered the total to 155.
A brilliant comeback from Kolkata, as at one stage it looked like Mumbai will easily cross the 170-run mark but they have held things back perfectly and now they will fancy this chase.
