KKR beat Gujarat Lions without lossing wickets
Kolkata knight riders fired 184/0 in 14.5 overs without lossing wicket, Gambhir 76*, Lynn 93*: Would you believe it?
KKR takes only 14.5 overs (31 balls to spare) to win the game vs GL? To top it all, they cruise past GL by 10 wickets. This is their first 10-wicket win (including CLT20 and IPL) and they will be mighty pleased with their efforts
Their ploy of making Lynn open the innings paid rich dividends as he finishes off the formalities by notching up 93 not out. Gauti's form will be delightful news for KKR camp.
He remains not out at 76 as GL bowlers were exposed due to inexperience and wayward bowling. No one was able to provide a single setback in KKR

Steve Smith’s unbeaten 84 helps Rising Pune Supergiant beat Mumbai
What a finish for Mumbai Indians! At one stage it looked like Mumbai may not cross 160 but boy, they have not just crossed it but notched up 184 on board thanks to a belligerent 35 in 14 balls for Hardik Pandya. Pune are not going to be happy one bit with that last few overs. Mumbai scored 39 runs in the last two overs, 30 in the last one.
Southee removes Rahane for 60. Change of bowling does the trick for Mumbai! Short delivery around off, Rahane stays in his crease and goes for a pull. He does not get the timing he wants and the ball goes towards deep mid-wicket. Nitish Rana in the deep, dives forward and takes a fine catch.
