Umpire's call. A leg bye has been added to the total.

7.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! Rana holes out! The pressure was building and the last over has played a big role in this wicket. Tossed up, outside off and a bit on the shorter side. Nitish Rana tries to hammer it over extra cover to release the pressure but ends up mistiming it aerially towards long off. Marcus Stoinis makes no mistake and this is a big blow to Kolkata. 146 needed off 77 balls.

5.6 overs (1 Run) Skidding down the leg side, Rana goes down to sweep but doesn't middle the shot properly. It runs wide of short fine leg and they cross. 13 from the over, Kolkata have raced away to 60/2 at the end of the Powerplay.
