Kolkata,<\/p>\n
Mumbai Indians produced a brilliant bowling and fielding performance after Ishan Kishan\u2019s batting pyrotechnics as the defending champions thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by 102 runs to stay in the hunt for a playoffs berth in the Indian Premier League here on Wednesday. Sent in to bat at the Eden Gardens, Mumbai scored an imposing 210\/6, riding on 19-year-old Kishan\u2019s 21-ball 62, studded with five fours and six sixes, and then bowled KKR out for 108 in 18.1 overs. Brothers Krunal and Hardik Pandya returned with figures of 2\/12 and 2\/16, respectively, while all the other five MI bowlers took a wicket each as they excelled as a bowling unit.\u00a0 Chasing an imposing target of 211, KKR suffered a batting collapse. Chris Lynn and Nitish Rana top-scored with 21 each while all the other KKR batsmen came a cropper. Their highest partnership was 31 between Lynn and Uthappa (14) for the second wicket. KKR made a disastrous start to their run chase as Sunil Narine (4) was out on the second ball, top-edging a Mitchell McClenaghan short delivery to Krunal Pandya. Lynn and Uthappa were going strong but a horrible mix-up in the fourth over led to Lynn being run out as the home side were reduced to 32\/2. The two wickets meant KKR were lagging behind in the powerplay overs as they could score just 47 from the first six overs.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kolkata, Mumbai Indians produced a brilliant bowling and fielding performance after Ishan Kishan\u2019s batting pyrotechnics as the defending champions thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by 102 runs to stay in the hunt for a playoffs berth in the Indian Premier League here on Wednesday.
