commentary

Over 20. 10 runs. Bowler: Dwayne Smith. Kolkata Knight Riders: 155/4(rr 7.75)

FOUR! Smith to Das. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Steer, well timed past third man for 4 runs. A stellar batting display from Rohit Sharma allowed Mumbai to take control of the game and then go on to record a comfortable win. Gibbs provided the perfect foil for Sharma's belligerent innings and played a big role in helping Sharma post Mumbai's 182/1. The Kolkata innings got off to a terrible start with both openers departing early. Kallis and Pathan batted well but it was all in vain as Malinga bowled economically toward the end of the innings. He was suppoted by the likes of Smith and Ojha who bowled well in the middle overs. Mumbai move up the table while Kolkata fail to reclaim the number slot from Delhi, it is going to an interesting last few games. Join us later for live coverage of the match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Delhi Daredevils.

match report

Kolkata Knight Riders virtually ensured a place in the Indian Premier League play-offs with a 32-run win over Mumbai Indians.

West Indian spinner Sunil Narine was the star of the show, returning figures of four for 15 as KKR bowled the hosts out for 108 at the Wankhede Stadium.

KKR batted first and posted 140 for seven, captain Gautam Gambhir contributing 27 off 23 balls at the top of the order and Manoj Tiwary top-scoring with 41, including two fours and two sixes.

RP Singh shipped 33 runs in his four overs but took the crucial wickets of Brendon McCullum and Jacques Kallis for a combined tally of one.

Mumbai's hopes rested largely on Herschelle Gibbs and Sachin Tendulkar but they fell for 13 and 27 respectively, the latter the first of Narine's victims.

Dinesh Kartik made 21 but after that wickets tumbled with regularity, Lakshmipathy Balaji and Kallis chipping in with two apiece.
