Knight Riders Survive Hardik Assault; Capitals Make Playoffs

Andre Russell’s awe-inspiring 40-ball 80 propelled Kolkata Knight Riders to a 34run win over Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens on Sunday and helped it stay alive in IPL-12.

Knight Riders, thanks to the Russell storm, posted a mammoth 232 for two, the highest of the season. When Mumbai batted, Russell also took two wickets as the hosts withstood Hardik Pandya’s unbelievable assault — a 34ball 91 embellished with six fours and nine sixes. Karthik’s men ended their six-match losing streak and finished their home engagements on a high.

Perfect launch

The Kolkata openers, Chris Lynn and Shubman Gill, laid a solid foundation, adding 96. The latter spoilt the debut of left-arm seamer Barinder Sran, scoring 14 of his Punjab teammate who opened the bowling.

Lynn, dropped on 12 by Kieron Pollard off Lasith Malinga in the sixth over, used the crease well to play some glorious shots straight down the ground.

Lynn (54) and Gill (76) upped the ante, scoring at more than 10 runs from the sixth to ninth overs.
