Shashank to the rescue?

Punjab need their crisis man Shashank Singh to fire once again. Right now it is too steep an ask. PBKS 39/4 in 5 overs.

PBKS in trouble

There you go. We have another wicket. This time Coetzee picks up his second wicket and Livingstone. PBKS 16/4.

Another one

Rilee Rossouw falls to Bumrah’s brilliance. What a wonderful yorker here. The batsman looks clueless. And out of nowhere, Bumrah gets Curran in the same over. PBKS in trouble at 14/3.

Out

There you go. Coetzee gets Prabhsimran on the very first ball he faces. Punjab in trouble early. It is 9/1 after 0.3 overs.

Mumbai end innings

In the end, Mumbai score 192/7 in 20 overs and much of the credit goes to Surya and Tilak who scored some quick runs. It will be a steep ask for Punjab Kings here.

Runs coming thick and fast here for Mumbai as Tim David departs for 14 from 7. MI 190/5 in 19.2 overs here.

Hardik flops

Surya out

And out of nowhere, Surya has just skied a wide one from Curran. He is out for 78 from 53 balls. The score moves to 148/3.

Surya nears ton

Surya is just showing why is he the best batsman in the world. He is taking the likes of Rabada to the cleaners. The score has moved to 148/2 in 16 overs.

Harsha says

MI reach 113/2 in 13.4 overs.

Rohit out

Rohit tries to go for a scoop, but the ball hits his face. There is a standard concussion test, he is all okay. But the very next ball he tries to take on the bowler and is caught out. He departs for 36. 99/2 in 11.4 overs.

Surya 50

And in just 35 balls Suryakumar Yadav has hit his fifty. That is a strong show by Mumbai, as they look set here for 200.

Punjab need wickets

Mumbai are still under 100 and 10 overs are up. The score is not excessively out of hand, but MI can shift gears since they have wickets in hand. It is 86/1 after 10 overs.

Mumbai cruising

Surya and Rohit are dealing in boundaries here and Punjab seek wickets. The partnerships is blooming as it is 71/1 in 8.2 overs.

Powerplay over

Despite losing Ishan Kishan early, Rohit and Ishan have combined well to get 54/1 in 6 overs. They should be looking at 200 at least.

Match in Balance

MI 36/1 after 4 overs

Out

Rabada has a wicket here. Ishan has perished early after looking good. He is out for 8 as MI 27/1 after 3 overs.

Livingstone starts

Punjab start with off-spinner Liam Livingstone and he does well in the first over. Only seven runs come from the over. It is 7/0 after 1 over.

Curran says

We will have a bowl. Keeping up with the trend of the tournament. Shikhar is not well, so that’s the only injury and Rilee comes in for Jonny today. It is not nice to lose the close games but we are doing a lot of things right. Taide drops out of the side, just a couple of tactical changes.

Pandya says

We were wanting to bat first as well, so good toss to lose. We don’t judge (our performances), couple of times we had the game in our grasp and didn’t finish the game, IPL tests you, when the game is not over it is not over. We just take it game by game, go out there and give our 100 percent. Every individual should commit to the team’s goal and once we do that, the results will be seen. Same team.
