Ryan ten Doeschate smashed an unbeaten 70 off 49 balls as Kolkata Knight Riders finished with 147/7 against the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator clash of IPL-4 at the Wankhede stadium on Wednesday. Doeschate was involved in useful partnerships with Yusuf Pathan and later on with Shakib Al Hasan after Kolkata's top order was in ruins against Mumbai's bowling attack.
Doeschate's knock negated the good work done early on by Mumbai at the start as the hosts had KKR on the mat.
The Dutch player, who survived a stumping chance off spinner Harbhajan Singh when he was on 38, hit six fours and three sixes in his knock as KKR scored 98 runs off the last 10 overs to give the bowlers something to fight for.
Munaf Patel (3/27) was the most successful bowler while Lasith Malinga was, as usual, the most economical, giving away just 19 runs apart from taking one wicket.
