    "editor1": "<p>Despite winning the toss and opting to chase in Tuesday&#39;s match against Mumbai Indians (MI), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan said the MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch is a tough one to chase.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>KKR fell short by 10 runs. Out of the three matches played here, teams batting second have lost twice. Only Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won while chasing -- the tournament opener -- and that too went down to the wire and in RCB&#39;s favour thanks to AB de Villiers&#39; genius.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We needed to bat around and complete the chase. The games that have been played here, it would suggest that there is a trend [of scoring getting tough towards the end of the match] in the games that have been played so far, barring AB de Villiers in the chase,&quot; said Morgan after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Mumbai have been performing like this for a long time. That would be something we need to assess. Made a few mistakes, will need to sort it out. I think the perfect game is to be able to do both [go all-out in the attack and otherwise] and we have managed to do neither in the end,&quot; added Morgan as he blamed his batsmen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is disappointing [to lose]. Played some good cricket for most part of the game. We looked comfortable in the chase. But they are a strong team, came back well and sad that it didn&#39;t work out for us.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
