Kolkata breaks 11
MUMBAI, India (AP) — Kolkata Knight Riders bowled out Mumbai for 145 and ended an 11-year losing streak at the Indians in the Indian Premier League on Friday.
Mumbai’s chase of the 170 target fell short by 24 runs as Mitchell Starc overcame poor form to pick up 4-33. Mumbai was all out with seven balls to spare.
Kolkata was dismissed for 169 off the second-to-last ball and led by Venkatesh Iyer’s 70 off 52 balls.
Kolkata had lost seven straight times at Wankhede Stadium since 2013.
The Knight Riders remained second overall, and Mumbai was ninth and eliminated from playoffs contention.
Kolkata got off to a horrendous start and was reduced to 57-5 in 6.1 overs. Its high-scoring top order failed for once; openers Phil Salt (5) and Sunil Narine (8), skipper Shreyas Iyer (6) and youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi (13).
Rinku Singh, who missed the India bus to the T20 World Cup next month, was out to spin for 9.
