Mumbai Indians scored 161 runs in the allotted 20 overs for the loss of 4 wickets, giving Kolkata a target of 162 runs to win.

Actually, at one point KKR’s team was on the verge of defeat in this match, but Pat Cummins turned the whole match upside down. Pat Cummins snatched the victory from the mouth of Mumbai Indians in such a way that this team did not even know. Tweeting on this, Sehwag wrote, ‘Snatched the morsel from the mouth. Sorry took away the vada pav. Pat Cummins produced a fine example of clean hitting. 56 off 15 balls.
Moonh se nivala cheen liya ,, sorry vada pav cheen liya.
