Mumbai Indians won the toss and chose to bowl first. The Kolkatta Knight Riders really had a nightmare since they lost their first wicket of Salman Butt (13 runs).

In 15.2 overs, the Kolkatta Knight Riders were all out and scored 67 runs which is the lowest ever total in the IPL Cricket.

Chasing the low total of 68 runs, the Mumbai Indians started their Innings. There was much expectation in this match about Sachin vs. Shoaib.
