IPL: Mumbai look to bounce back against Kolkata

Mumbai Indians will be looking to get their Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign back on track when they face Kolkata Knight Riders this evening. The defending champions suffered a shock defeat to newcomers Rising Pune Supergiants in their opening game on Saturday. Meanwhile, Kolkata will be eyeing a second consecutive win to take an early lead in the eight-team points table. Their chances have been boosted by the return of spinner Sunil Narine, who’s been cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for having a suspect bowling action.
