FIFTY! A thirteenth IPL 50 for Nitish Rana, and this has to be one of his better ones! He's played some remarkable cricket tonight. KKR 103/2
4! Rana attempts a sweep, but misses it. He can do no wrong tonight though, the ball bounces off the back off his bat and races away for four. KKR 101/2
After 12 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 97/2 ( Nitish Rana 45 , Eoin Morgan (C) 7)
Eoin Morgan's out to bat, and he'll be looking to steer his side out of this sticky situation. He'll have Rana to help him out. Bumrah is going to bowl this over, and he begins with a single, before giving away four leg byes. Another leg bye off the next ball. Morgan then comes up with a moment of real ingenuity, he ramps a bouncer over Dinesh Karthik and it's a boundary! Two more singles make it 12 off the over, this is not at all what MI need.
4! Gorgeous little ramped shot from Eoin Morgan, a Jasprit Bumrah bouncer is sent racing away to the boundary line over the head of Dinesh Karthik. KKR 95/2
After 11 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 85/2 ( Nitish Rana 44 , Eoin Morgan (C) 1)
Rahul Chahar got a huge wicket in his last over, if he can get another, it might really be game on. His first ball is a single, the second a quickly-run doube. He strikes in the third! It's a peach of a delivery, and Rahul Tripathi has no idea how to deal with it. It gets a nick and carries through to de Kock. I bet Rohit Sharma could kiss Chahar right now! Chahar's next two deliveries are almost as good as the third, and they draw half-hearted appeals from MI, but the umpire is unconvinced. 4 runs and a wicket off the over.
OUT! Rahul Chahar strikes again, and Rahul Tripathi is sent back to the dressing room! Rahul Tripathi c de Kock b Chahar 5 (5)
After 10 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 81/1 ( Nitish Rana 43 , Rahul Tripathi 3)
Trent Boult comes back into the bowling attack, and his first three deliveries are all singles. Can he get another wicket and really put some pressure on KKR? Nope, he can't, and what's worse, Rana's just hit him for a boundary there, that's pulled over midwicket. Another single to end the over, and that's 8 off it. The RRR is approaching the 7-run mark, KKR are finding this a bit too easy at the moment.
4! He might have lost his opening partner, but Nitish Rana is still going strong. He pulls over midwicket for four. KKR 80/1
After 9 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 73/1 ( Nitish Rana 37 , Rahul Tripathi 1)
Rahul Chahar gets his first over of the night, and he's greeted with a four by Shubman Gill, that's sent racing behind square leg. Gill adds to his four with a six, putting some real juice into his shot and sending it over the boundary rope past long-on. Uh oh, what has Gill done there? He got a bit carried away, and he miscues his shot, sending it straight to Pollard at long-off. That's a big wicket, but is it too little too late for MI?
IPL 2021, Live Cricket Score, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Mumbai Indians (MI): Chahar is back, is there any more magic left in those wiley hands of his? He starts off by giving away a four, before Nitish Rana takes a single to bring up his fifty! What an innings it's been for Rana, he's really impressed tonight. Oh no, the celebrations are short-lived. Rahul Chahar has struck once again! Eoin Morgan goes for the gusto, swinging hard, but there isn't enough in his shot, and it's claimed by Jansen at deep midwicket!
Preview: Eoin Morgan-led Kolkata Knight Riders and Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians will lock horns at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai in match 5 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season.
KKR narrowly missed out on a playoff spot after finishing fifth in the standings, level on points with fourth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore but with an inferior net run-rate. Mumbai Indians had a tournament to remember last season, as they successfully beat out the likes of Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad to retain their title, taking their overall tally to five trophies.
The Kolkata Knight Riders began their campaign with a 10-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Nitish Rana top-scored for KKR in that contest, scoring 80 runs off 56 balls, while Rahul Tripathi chipped in with a half-century, scoring 53 in 29, as KKR put up a total of 187/6. It proved to be too much for SRH to chase down, and the David Warner-led side fell short of their target, despite the best efforts of Jonny Bairstow and Manish Pandey, who put together a partnership of 92 runs.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, faced defeat in their first match of the season, as Royal Challengers Bangalore managed to steal a victory on the very last ball of their innings. Chris Lynn was the high-scorer for MI, getting 49 in 35 balls to push his team to a total of 159/9. RCB then chased down that total in exactly 20 overs, despite the best efforts of Marco Jansen and Jasprit Bumrah, both of whom bagged two wickets apiece.
