Kings XI Punjab won the match against Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets with 8 balls to spare at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday. Their chase was spearheaded by a controlled innings from KL Rahul, who remained unbeaten on 71, and some aggressive cameos from Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal. Earlier, Mumbai Indians had put up a score of 176/7 in their 20 overs. They had gotten off to a great start, propelled by Quinton de Kock's 39-ball 60. The away team's scoring rate fell down considerably in the middle overs, and Hardik Pandya's 19-ball 31 helped them to put up a respectable total.  After a last-ball win against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday, Mumbai Indians were looking to continue the winning momentum against controversy-hit Kings XI Punjab in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019. (SCORECARD)

- 19:36 (IST)Four from RahulBumrah bowls the 19th. Played down to the third man fence. 2 more needed.
- 19:35 (IST)Four! MillerMiller finds the fence. McClenaghan fails to find his smile this time. KXIP 171/2 after 18 overs. Need only 6 more runs
- 19:33 (IST)KXIP need 11 runs in 13 ballsExcellent ball. Had Miller in all sorts of trouble with that yorker that swerved in wickedly. McClenaghan says something to Miller and laughs. Miller nods. Does not look to be in any mood to laugh. The job is still to be finished.
- 19:31 (IST)McClenaghan to MI's rescue?McClenaghan bowling the 18th over. Starts off with two dot balls
- 19:28 (IST)KXIP need 14 in 3 oversRahul has taken control of the situation. This must be out of MI's grasp now, even for Malinga and Bumrah
- 19:27 (IST)Rahul hits back to back 4s!Bumrah hit for consecutive boundaries by Rahul
- 19:23 (IST)KXIP need 25 off 24 ballsMatch going out of Mumbai's grasp. Bumrah might have something to say about that though. He has conceded just 6 off his 2 overs. He has 2 overs remaining
- 19:22 (IST)Fifty for KL RahulRahul gets some bat onto that Malinga bouncer and ball races away for four. KXIP 151/2 after 15.5 overs
- 19:21 (IST)No chances taken against MalingaExtremely sensible batting from Rahul and Miller. Taking the singles and sometimes turning the singles into doubles. KXIP need 30 off 26
- 19:18 (IST)Bumrah-Malinga vs Rahul-MillerMalinga bowling the 16th over.
- 19:16 (IST)Was the Hardik Pandya over the game-changer?

KXIP - 131/2 (14.3)#OneFamily #CricketMeriJaan #MumbaiIndians #KXIPvMI - 19:14 (IST)Miller time! Four!Expensive over from Hardik Pandya. 19 runs came off the 15th over. KXIP now need only 37 in 5 overs. Some of the greatest T20 bowlers of all time to bowl the 5 overs though
- 19:12 (IST)Four from Rahul!Rahul pressing his foot on the pedal now. Much needed. KXIP need to capitalize on this Hardik Pandya over. 42 off 32 required now
- 19:09 (IST)Rahul breaks the shacklesFinally! A six from KL Rahul. Hits first ball of that over from Hardik above point. Rahul moves on to 38
- 19:08 (IST)KXIP 121/2 after 14 oversThe home team need 56 runs in the last 6 overs. Malinga and Bumrah have 2 overs left. McClenaghan has one left too. MI need to get just one over from either Hardik or Mayank Markande
- 19:06 (IST)David Miller in at No.4Miller comes in and gets off the mark straightaway. No time to waste here
- 19:04 (IST)Mayank gone! Caught and bowledSmooth from Krunal Pandya! That was hit hard. No worries for Krunal in pouching that though. KXIP 117/2 after 13.3 overs
- 19:03 (IST)Six from Mayank's bladeKrunal Pandya hit for another maximum. Much needed, given that KL Rahul has only hit 1 boundary in his entire stay
- 19:01 (IST)KXIP 109/1 after 13 oversOnly 6 runs conceded by Hardik Pandya off that over
- 19:01 (IST)No mankading here!To be fair to that incident, Mayank Agarwal looked to have gotten back into his crease. The reactions to this incident are sure to be streaming in soon though, given events of recent days

Respect @krunalpandya24 ... that's exactly how you deal with a Mankad ... Give the Batsman a warning then it's open season after that ... #IPL2019
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 30, 2019 - 18:57 (IST)KXIP 103/1 after 12 oversKrunal Pandya goes for 12 runs in his 3rd over
- 18:56 (IST)Six for Mayank!Mayank hits Krunal Pandya for a maximum down the ground. At 81 metres, that is probably the smallest six of this innings so far
- 18:53 (IST)KXIP 90/1 after 11 oversRelatively quiet over from McClenaghan. Rahul and Mayank keeping the score ticking
- 18:51 (IST)

— Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) March 30, 2019 - 18:50 (IST)No mankading here!Krunal Pandya had an opportunity to mankad Mayank Agarwal there. But just warned the batsman.
- 18:48 (IST)KXIP 84/1 after 10 oversThe chase seems to be on track. KL Rahul's scoring rate might be a little concerning though. Has scored 19 runs off 26 balls so far
- 18:46 (IST)Four for Mayank againA little lucky for the batsman there. Outside edge flies to the fence. Krunal Pandya unlucky then
- 18:44 (IST)Action replay! Another four from MayankLast ball of the over hit in the same area as the first four. KXIP 73/1 after 9 overs
- 18:42 (IST)Mayank vs MayankMayank Agarwal hits Mayank Markande for four. KXIP's No.3 is off to a fluent start
- 18:42 (IST)One family
GONEEEEEEEE!!

- 18:37 (IST)Gayle out! Caught in the deepHardik Pandya, the fielder, cannot contain his jubilation. Mumbai will be happy to see the back of Gayle. The big man gone for 40 (23). KXIP 53/1 after 7.2 overs

— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 30, 2019 - 18:33 (IST)Another one of the very next ball!When Gayle-storm hits, it comes in twos it seems. Second time in this match Gayle has hit consecutive sixes. That's boosted the scoring rate. KXIP 51/0 after 6.5 overs
- 18:32 (IST)Six! Who else but Gayle!Hardik Pandya the hapless victim this time. Fielders can do little but stare at that disappearing
