Harpreet Brar can save the Kings from defeat by scoring 23 runs off 12 balls – provided he avoids losing his wicket to Jitesh Sharma’s aggressive pace and loud appeal for an LBW against Jitesh. Madhwal appealed for an LBW but no action was taken by umpire and raised their finger instead.
Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 61 off 28 balls revived Punjab’s innings and nearly saw them secure an unlikely win, but Gerald Coetzee and Hardik Pandya held strong to help MI secure a narrow nine-run win.

Mumbai Indians (MI) vs. Punjab Kings (PBKS)
MI is looking to recover after their slow start when they take on Punjab Kings at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Tuesday. Punjab sit seventh with two wins and four losses so far this season.
Each team has the chance to move up in the table by winning, so everything is still up for grabs as we look ahead to Sunday’s final game of the weekend.
Mumbai Indians batted first and started quickly, with Rohit Sharma hitting a six off of just the fourth ball of their innings. Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya continued with big hits to put Mumbai Indians in an advantageous position.
Punjab bowlers faced an uphill task defending a target of 199. For much of the innings, things went smoothly until Odean Smith released his bat against MI’s batsmen in the final overs. Although Dewald Brevis and NT Tilak Varma both gave impressive individual performances for Punjab, their visitors just missed a memorable victory.
Young duo Punjab’s young duo unleashed a magnificent innings, scoring 78 runs off 25 balls at MY Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur before losing by 12 runs.
Punjab were left reeling by Shikhar Dhawan’s absence for the remainder of the tournament due to his suspension, creating some uncertainty within their batting department and necessitating them stepping up dramatically if they want to finish in the top four of league table.
Punjab have had an indifferent start to the season but boast a strong squad and formidable bowling line-up. Their fortunes may improve following Mohammad Amir’s return as fast bowler; hopefully they’ll secure their maiden home win!
MY Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur boasts one of the fastest pitches in India and provides pacers with extra bounce for bating at fast pace. Additionally, its surface has proven beneficial to spinners.
Rohit Sharma struck an enormous six on the fourth ball of an over, which Ishan Kishan then drove for another run into the covers to add one run to their total. Unfortunately for Punjab though, Vaibhav Arora took an excellent catch at short fine leg to send Ishan back into his hut before ending this over successfully.
Mumbai Indians vs. Punjab Kings
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face off in an IPL match at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mohali on April 15. It will mark both teams’ seventh match of the season; MI are currently third on the table with three consecutive victories while PBKS have been struggling and need to change things quickly in order to remain competitive.
The match will be an important one for both sides as they battle to avoid the bottom two spots and secure qualification into the top four. When these teams last met, it ended in a gripping thriller tied at 183 runs each with Ashutosh Sharma’s stunning 61-ball innings for PBKS nearly giving MI an early scare, yet they survived and sealed an eight-run victory.
Though their season hasn’t started off well, PBKS possess talented players with enough quality to mount a comeback and hope to get their campaign back on track after suffering an emotionally draining defeat against Chennai Super Kings.
Punjab will hope that Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada can continue their strong performances against Mumbai bowlers; however, concerns exist regarding Shikhar Dhawan and Jitesh Sharma’s performances as Indian batsmen.
Mohali’s Maharaja Yadavindra Stadium boasts one of India’s fastest pitches and provides extra bounce that suits pacers well, while also favoring spinners who have previously done well against Mumbai batsmen.
Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav have been instrumental in MI’s recent victories; therefore they will likely play a pivotal role in winning this match as well. Unfortunately however, some unimpressive performances from other batsmen has cast some doubt upon whether or not Rohit and Surya can maintain such stellar form for long.
