captain Sam Curran chose to field first, Mumbai Indians scored 192/7 in 20
overs. While Suryakumar Yadav scored 78 off 53 balls (seven fours and three

In reply, Punjab Kings had a poor
start as they were struggling on 14/4, thanks to the MI new-ball partners Gerald
Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah. Although Shashank Singh (41 off 25 balls; two fours
and three sixes) and Ashutosh Sharma (61 off 28 balls; two fours and seven
sixes) fought hard, they didn’t get enough support as PBKS closely suffered a
defeat in the game. PBKS were all out for 183 runs in 19.1 overs.
Both Coetzee (3/32) and Bumrah
(3/21) took three wickets each in the match.
