MUMBAI INDIANS pulled off an unlikely 10-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in a low-scoring game of IPL 2021 in Chennai on Tuesday (13).

Mumbai recorded their first win in the second game after managing to score only 152 batting first. But did well defending the total with bowlers rising to the occasion to restrict Kolkata to 142 for 7 in 20 overs.

For Kolkata, Nitish Rana once again top-scored with 57 off 47 balls and Shubman Gill with an useful 24-ball 33. But once a well-set Rana fell, Kolkata's run-chase just got derailed.

Rahul Chahar, for Mumbai, returned impressive figures of 4 for 27.

Earlier, Andre Russell grabbed a five-wicket haul as Mumbai were all out for 152. Suryakumar Yadav (56 off 36 balls) and skipper Rohit Sharma (43 off 32 balls) making notable contributions for the five-time champions.

For KKR, Pat Cummins (2/24), Russell (5 for 15) and Shakib Al Hasan (1/23) were the wicket-takers.

Brief Scores:

Mumbai Indians: 152 all out in 20 overs (Suryakumar Yadav 56, Rohit Sharma 43; Andre Russell 5-15, Pat Cummins 2-24).

Kolkata Knight Riders: 142 for 7 in 20 overs (Nitish Rana 57, Rahul Chahar 4/27).

Steven Gerrard doesn't want a medal. He wants Man City stripped

Highlights

  • Steven Gerrard says Manchester City "have to be stripped" after being found guilty of 114 of 115 Premier League charges, but that players should not give medals back
  • Only three league titles (2012, 2014 and 2018) fall inside the 2009-2018 period the charges cover
  • Jamie Carragher wants City's titles taken off their list, Roy Keane says he would bin his medals, and Vincent Kompany says he is "really proud" of his City years
  • A BBC Sport analysis estimates rival clubs may have lost around £800m, with Norwich named at £43.8m

What Gerrard said

Gary Neville spotted one banner at Anfield on Sunday that stuck with him: "A generation of supporters have been cheated." City won 3-0 anyway, in a game that turned on Ryan Gravenberch's dismissal and was their first since the verdict.

Steven Gerrard, who captained the Liverpool side that finished two points behind City in 2014, went further on The Overlap. The club, he said, "have to be stripped." He was careful about the players, though. "I wouldn't want individual players to give stuff back, that wouldn't be right," he said. His target is the club and its owners. An example must be set, he argued, and everyone connected with City should think about the memories they may have "stolen" from everyone else.
