Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders fell short once again in their run chase against Mumbai Indians in an IPL encounter but their pacer Trent Boult says his side will stick to the ‘formula’ of banking on Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine to deliver at the top of the batting order.
“It’s the formula we have followed throughout the tournament. It was about Narine and Lynn trying to put pressure on the opposition,” Boult said at the post-match press conference after KKR lost to MI by nine runs on Sarturday night.
Making a mess of a 174-run chase, Kolkata choked under pressure as the opening pair of Narine and Lynn failed to click. KKR were 53/3 at the end of powerplay overs.
“The powerplay is a big phase of the game. It has come off very well for us in other games. I don’t think there’s any need to change the formula. It was just unfortunate that it did not work out tonight,” Boult said.
It was KKR’s first home defeat while chasing since 2013 and their fourth defeat in five matches going into the knock- out stage of this IPL.
“In this format, momentum is a big thing obviously. You would like to win as many games as you can. Unfortunately, it did not pan out our way,” Boult said.
Boult said the wicket was two-paced and the opposition team bowled really well. (PTI)
