Updated IPL 2023 Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap List After PBKS vs MI Game: Mumbai Indians Rise To 6th Spot

It was a high-scoring match at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as quickfire half-centuries from Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav helped Mumbai Indians (MI) seal a six-wicket win over Punjab Kings (PBKS). With this win, MI has climbed to the sixth spot, with five wins and four losses, aggregating 10 points. PBKS also has a similar win-loss record but is in seventh due to a lower net-run-rate.
