We hope to play our best cricket in remaining games: Morgan

Virtually out of contention for a berth in the four-team play-offs, Kolkata Knight Riders' batsman Eoin Morgan said his team was not going to sit and sulk, and instead look to give its best in the remaining matches.
"I think from here it makes us a dangerous side. Teams will take us lightly and it gives us an extra bit of positivity than anything else. We are not going to sit and sulk about it," he said.
"From here, we are going to look at things in a positive way and hopefully play our best cricket because we haven't done that so far," Morgan said at the post-match conference.

Mumbai Indians outplayed Kolkata Knight Riders by 65 runs last night to hand over the defending champions their eighth defeat in 12 games so far.
"We are very disappointed with the way we performed. We haven't shown enough skills to be able to compete on a consistent basis. We have shown glimpses of it throughout this tournament, but the consistency hasn't been there," said Morgan.
After posting a challenging 170, Mumbai Indians bowled out the Knight Riders for 105 in 18.2 overs, and the 26-year old English player felt that the target was achievable had they built a good partnership.

"It was definitely a chasable target. Where we went wrong was where we lost wickets continuously. We never managed to get a substantial partnership going. I have played enough times to know, when you have got a good partnership going, you can up the rate and from there, you can turn the pressure around to the fielding team," he said.
The Knight Riders' bowler Ryan McLaren conceded 25 runs in the final over but Morgan defended the bowler, saying, "I think it was certainly a chasable target, obviously 25 from the last didn't help. We had different periods of the game where we bowled well and made up for it.
