"Mitchell Starc has edged his opening-weekend Indian Premier League duel with Pat Cummins in Kolkata - but only after the humbling feeling of being smashed for 26 runs in a single over.
A thrilling contest ended with Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Cummins having to hit Harshit Rana's last delivery of the match for six to win but the Aussie skipper could only swing and miss, leaving Starc's Kolkata Knight Riders to squeeze to a four-run victory.
Not that Starc, the most expensive foreign import the league has ever entertained after KKR bought him for a mind-boggling A$4.43 million, was quite at his best in the season opener.
Asked to nail the penultimate over, with Hyderabad still requiring an unlikely 39 off 12 balls to overhaul KKR's formidable 7-208, Starc bowled a wide, and was pummelled for four sixes - three from Heinrich Klaasen (63 off 29 balls) and another from Shahbaz Ahmed - as the Sunrisers sniffed an outlandish win.
But despite getting hit for six first ball of the death over by Shahbaz, Rana then took the wickets of both danger men and delivered that final dot ball to new batter Cummins to seal the win.
Cummins, a huge A$3.67 million buy himself, had performed rather better with the ball, taking 1-32 off his four overs, but Andre Russell's fantastic 64no with seven sixes after coming in at number eight ensured the hosts powered past 200."

"Glenn Maxwell joked he didn't fancy bowling, but then took two vital Punjab wickets before Royal Challengers Bengaluru squeaked home with four balls to spare in their IPL clash overnight.
Mic'd up to the commentators in the second over of RCB's home game to the Kings, said of suggestions he might turn his arm over, "I'd rather not bowl, I'm quite enjoying just being a batter".
"That's why we've paid for Cam Green, to be the allrounder," he added with a smile."
