KKR stay alive despite Bumrah magic

0

Jasprit Bumrah returned his best T20 figures of 5/10 but Mumbai Indians went down to Kolkata Knight Riders by 52 runs on Monday.

Venkatesh Iyer (43) and Nitish Rana (43) guided Kolkata to 165 for 9, a total their bowlers defended by bowling out the opposition for 113. KKR’s Pat

took three wickets in one over to help Kolkata move from ninth to seventh in the 10-team table and keep their play-off hopes alive.

Venkatesh gave Kolkata a brisk start as they reached 64/1 in the first six overs after being put into bat first.

Rana took on the opposition bowlers in a 26-ball 43 and Kolkata looked like getting past 190 before Bumrah came roaring back in his second over.

Bumrah, who had picked up just five wickets in the previous 10 matches, struck twice and followed that with a triple-wicket maiden in his third over.
