This fixture was never short of entertainment! Punjab pick their third win of the season and move to the third spot in the points table. The bowlers took a harsh beating in patches, especially Rahul Chahar who went for 29 runs in his first over when Dewald Brevis took the attack to him. Punjab were right on top by picking two wickets inside the Powerplay but might've gotten derailed in the middle-overs. The fourth-wicket stand of Mumbai took the advantage away from Punjab. Although, Punjab regained their advantage in the death overs. Odean Smith was the highest wicket-taker with a four-fer but Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada deserve a lot of praise for their economical spells.
Uff! What a fight did the Mumbai lads put up. All the players gave it their all but could not get over the victory line. Mumbai came into this game with one less batter and they might regret making that decision. Rohit Sharma got his side off to a flyer but Mumbai could not continue on its merry way, as they lost the opening pair inside the Powerplay. The two youngsters stepped up for Mumbai. Dewald Brevis and Tilak Varma stitched a solid stand of 84 runs to get the chase back on track for Mumbai. The former was the aggressor but missed out on his maiden Indian T20 League half-ton. Suryakumar Yadav was a part of two run-outs at the crease, which ended up putting all the pressure on his shoulders. In the last over, Mumbai lost three wickets, as Odean Smith showed them the exit door.
Oh dear! What a game this was, filled with full of twists. The five-time champions have recorded their fifth loss on the trot. Agony for the men in blue. The pendulum swung hard in both directions but in the end, Punjab came out victorious to add on to the misery of Mumbai.
