Signing off from a classic - That brings us to the end of an entertaining contest where Mumbai Indians put a dent in Punjab Kings' playoff hopes with a dramatic win. Next up in IPL 2026, we have a clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings on 15th May, Friday. The game will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
The victorious skipper of Mumbai Indians - Jasprit Bumrah says that it was a good game of cricket and they pulled back well. They fumbled with some catches, but overall it was a great game. He adds that the wicket was a bit on the drier side, and it was not as cold as it was earlier, but they were clear about what they had to do. Bumrah reckons that the plan was to hit right lengths and their bowlers did the job well. He further says that Shardul and Tilak deserve equal credit, and Tilak held onto his nerves well. He ends by saying that he had a great time here and he enjoyed it a lot.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Tilak Varma wins the award for his match-winning 75* off 33. He  says that he loves finishing the games and playing at the international level has helped him finish off games better. Adds that they didn't expect a wicket like this as the ball stay a bit low and slow and even Punjab struggled at the start with the bat. Mentions that they wanted to take the game deep and is glad that he could stay till the end and get his team over the line. Tilak further mentions that he told his coach in the final strategic break that they needed one big over and they got it. On Jacks' knock, Varma says that it was a good one as he held his shape well and was able to put the slower balls away, which was difficult to do on this track.
Presentation Time...
A quick chat - MI's Will Jacks says that he's feeling better with that victory, as the season hasn't gone their way, but they will look to end on a high. On batting with Tilak Varma, he says that the conversation was about the long boundary on one side and they knew that the opposition would try to defend one side. Jacks says that it wasn't about pace off but rather bowling back of a length as the ball skid through and that's what the opposition tried to do as well.
The captain of Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer says that it's a tough pill to swallow, but he doesn't want to point it out to an individual. He says that Tilak Varma's knock was excellent. He adds that Azmatullah Omarzai also gave a commendable performance with the bat towards the end and got momentum on their side. Iyer reckons that they are excited for their next game and ends by saying that they have to win both of their next matches.
PBKS let it slip again - Punjab Kings just cannot find a way to get over the line. Arshdeep Singh was superb in the Powerplay, conceding just 8 runs in his two overs, before Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game around in the middle overs by removing Rohit Sharma and giving away only 12 runs in his first three overs. However, a slight miscalculation from Shreyas Iyer proved costly as Chahal was held back for the 16th over, where he was smashed for 20 runs to swing the momentum again. Azmatullah Omarzai responded brilliantly with a two-run over and a wicket, finishing with two scalps to pull things back in PBKS' favour. But Marco Jansen's tough season continued as he leaked 22 runs with 50 needed off 18, while Arshdeep also struggled at the death. In the end, Bartlett could not defend 14 in the final over as Punjab Kings fell short once again.
Punjab recovered strongly to reach 200 - Earlier in the game, Punjab Kings looked set for a huge score after racing to 100 in 11 overs, with Prabhsimran Singh striking a fine half-century, but Mumbai Indians stormed back brilliantly to reduce them from 107/1 to 140/7. Shardul Thakur led the fightback with a superb four-fer, while Deepak Chahar picked up two wickets, with Raj Bawa and Bosch chipping in as well. Just when MI seemed to have gained complete control, Azmatullah Omarzai turned the momentum again with a blazing 38 off 17, while Bartlett and Vishnu Vinod provided the finishing touches as PBKS smashed 53 runs in the final three overs to reach the 200-run mark, leaving Mumbai disappointed with how they let things slip at the death.
Tilak powers MI home - Mumbai Indians made full use of the Powerplay, racing to 59 with Ryan Rickelton leading the charge before falling for a blazing 48 just after the fielding restrictions ended. Naman Dhir could not make much impact, while Rohit Sharma's scratchy 25 off 26 added pressure on the middle order. However, Tilak Varma took complete control of the chase and looked like he was batting on a different surface altogether. Rutherford never really found his rhythm but played a vital supporting hand in a crucial 61-run stand with Varma to keep MI in the hunt. Varma continued to find the boundaries at will, bringing up a quickfire fifty, while Will Jacks chipped in with a fiery 25* off 10 to swing the momentum further. With 15 needed off the final over, Varma fittingly finished things off in style, remaining unbeaten on a sensational 75 off just 33 balls and sealing the chase with one ball to spare.
MI stun PBKS in a thriller - Phew! A proper nail-biter, but Mumbai Indians have come out on top, with Tilak Varma emerging as the hero for the Men in Blue. This is the third time this season that MI have successfully chased down a 200-plus total. They may already be out of playoff contention, but they have now handed Punjab Kings their fifth defeat in a row, dealing a blow to their playoff hopes as well and keeping the points table race wide open.

Xavier Bartlett To Tilak Varma
SIX! That's it, Tilak Varma has done it, Mumbai Indians win by 6 wickets. Banged in short but it's down the leg side, Tilak Varma lines it up and nails the pull over long leg for a biggie. Varma celebrates in style and why not? He's played an unbelievable knock here.

Xavier Bartlett To Tilak Varma
SIX! What a shot, but that's there to be hit as well. Back of a length, pace on this time and angled across off. Tilak Varma hangs back, opens up his stance and swats it over deep cover for a biggie. Just 2 needed ow off 2 balls.

Xavier Bartlett To Tilak Varma
A bit of cat and mouse between the batter and bowler. Varma tries to move as late as possible and ends up shuffling past the off stump. Bartlett sees this and goes into the pitch, bowling a slower one wide outside off. Varma tries to adjust and reverse ramp but misses.

Xavier Bartlett To Will Jacks
Good comeback from Bartlett. Slower bumper, bowled around off, Jacks scythes it away to deep backward point and picks up a single.

Xavier Bartlett To Will Jacks
SIX! That's the job almost half done in one ball. Bartlett misses his mark on the wide yorker and ends up serving a full toss. Will Jacks just gets across to the off side and pummels it back over the bowler's head, over long off and for a maximum. 9 needed off 5 balls.
15 needed from the final over now. Xavier Bartlett to bowl the pressure over.

Arshdeep Singh To Will Jacks
Top delivery from Arshdeep. A wide yorker, nailed to perfection. Jacks digs it out to long off for a single and 13 runs come off the over.

Arshdeep Singh To Will Jacks
FOUR! Streaky but effective. Full and wide outside off, a bit too wide though. Will Jacks backs away a bit but manages to reach out and jam it out off the cue end of the bat between the keeper and short third for a boundary.

Arshdeep Singh To Tilak Varma
Another low full toss that Varma isn't able to put away. Just around off, Varma gets on one knee and looks to tuck it around the corner on the leg side but miscues it towards deep mid-wicket for a run.
Slight halt! It looks like Tilak Varma has hurt his right hamstring. The physio comes out in the middle to have a check. All fine now and we are good to continue...

Arshdeep Singh To Tilak Varma
A golden dot ball for Punjab and it almost ends up being a run out as well. Low full toss, outside off, Varma nails it straight to cover and sets off for the single. Shreyas Iyer has a shy at the keeper's end but misses as Varma turns back and dives into safety. Replays later show that Varma would have been in even if it was a direct hit.

Arshdeep Singh To Will Jacks
Arshdeep Singh bowls a full toss now, knee height and over middle and leg. Jacks awkwardly flicks it aerially and over the square leg region for a single.

Arshdeep Singh To Will Jacks
SIX! Wow, what a hit, right off the screws! Arshdeep comes around the wicket and bowls a half-volley wide outside off. Will Jacks stays back and just laces the lofted shot well over covers and hits it deep into the stands. 22 needed off 11 now.
That's a huge over for the Mumbai Indians. Arshdeep Singh to bowl the penultimate over.

SIX MORE! 22 off the over, a big one in terms of the chase. Jansen comes around the wicket to Varma and goes back of a length around off. Varma leans back and forces the big shot over long on for a six. 28 needed off 12 balls.

Marco Jansen To Will Jacks
In the air, but lands well short. Slightly fuller, pushed wide outside the off stump, Jacks goes after it and slices it on the bounce to deep point for one.

Marco Jansen To Will Jacks
FOUR! That's not the best of balls from Marco Jansen. Dug in short again, wide outside off, Will Jacks reaches out and slams it over cover-point for a boundary.

Marco Jansen To Tilak Varma
Slightly pace off and back of a length, Varma loses his shape and swings it without much timing through mid-wicket for one.

Marco Jansen To Tilak Varma
FOUR! Straight as an arrow! So full, nearly a perfect yorker on middle and leg. Varma takes the front leg out, gets under the ball, and powers it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. 10 off the first two deliveries.
17.1

Marco Jansen To Tilak Varma
SIX! Swung away into the stands, and Tilak Varma brings up the FIFTY as well. Shortish length, angled into the left-hander from over the wicket. Varma gets a bit low, gets inside the line, and clobbers it over deep square leg for a biggie. Varma knows the job is far from done yet.
