MI beat PBKS Highlights – IPL 2021: Saurabh Tiwary played an innings of substance as he slammed 45 runs off 37 balls that comprised 3 fours and a couple of sixes. He shared a crucial partnership with opener Quinton de Kock (27) after MI were struggling at 16/2 in the 5th over. Later Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard stepped up the ante against Punjba Kings bowlers to complete the finishing duties for Mumbai Indians. Meanwhile, Ravi Bishnoi returned with figures of 2/25 as he kept Punjab in the game but the pacers couldn’t pull it off for Punjab Kings towards the end.
“It was a great fight, but 135 was not enough on this pitch. We should have got about 170. The boys showed a lot of fight with the ball, we have done that two games in a row. The next three games will be interesting for us as the table looks interesting. It is what it is, we haven’t been able to handle the pressure. We’ll learn more if we play more together as a team. We need to be positive. We have three games, so we need to take one game at a time. We need to go out there and enjoy ourselves. All our games in the UAE have gone down to the wire, hopefully we can build on that,” KL Rahul said post-match.
Bowling the penultimate over of the match, Shami conceded 17 runs as Pandya hammered six and two fours to seal the fate of the match in the MI’s favour.
