De Kock slams unbeaten 78 to fashion Mumbai victory

Quinton de Kock (78 runs off 44 balls) powered Mumbai Indians’ chase with some splendid strokes as they raced to an eight-wicket victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders in Abu Dhabi on Friday night.

De Kock and skipper Rohit Sharma (35 off 36) gave Mumbai a superb start, putting on 94 runs. After that they never looked, coasting to 149/2 in 16.5 overs. Shivam Mavi was the pick of the Kolkata bowlers.

Earlier, Kolkata ran into trouble after electing to bat. They lost five batsmen inside 11 overs, with the total reading 61. New captain Eoin Morgan (39 runs off 29 balls) and Pat Cummins (53 off 36) shored up the Kolkata innings with an 87-run partnership, but 148 was never good enough to test Mumbai’s vaunted batting.
