Riders' nightmares continue, Indians win by 9 runs

JP Duminy smashed an unbeaten 52 off 37 balls to help Mumbai Indians carve a nine-run victory against a fighting Kolkata Knight Riders in their Indian Premier League match on Friday.

Duminy hit four towering sixes and a four to propel Mumbai to 148 for six after skipper Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and elected to bat while Kolkata, despite Brad Hodge's brilliant 73 off 60 balls, could manage only 139 for six in their reply at Buffalo Park.
