5.45pm From 103 in 11 overs, Mumbai could add only 78 off their last nine. How much will that hurt the hosts? Knight Riders will definitely back themselves with this target. Lewis and Suryakumar were excellent at the start, but inexplicably slowed down despite a long batting line up. We'll be back with the chase in a few.

Shashwat: "@J5 Offsuit- There is a certain phenomenon called Andre Russell who can clear these short boundaries left handed...and unlike MI, KKR will target the 5th bowling option in Cutting and Duminy!!"

Raja: "Mumbai batsmen are the culprits everytime they lose...lack of intent. Someone remind them that having wickets in hand doesnt actually get you points on the table #FrustratedMumbaiFan"

J5 Offsuit: "No idea why people have already dismissed MI. IMHO MI can defend 180+. KKR line up is short on confidence apart from DK and young Gill. All MI would need are regular wickets and surely they are capable of pulling it off. I will say game on."

Shashwat: "Confirmed hence- Cutting playing as a specialist fielder!!"

Ganesh: "When Mavi becomes fit KKR can just drop Johnson and go ahead with the two Indian speedsters no point in playing 4 intl players for the sake of it."

Prasidh Krishna to Duminy, no run, Short, and Duminy can't pull it away! Duminy wants it to be a wide, but the ball went over leg stump. Excellent!
