OUT! Another run-out for Mumbai Indians and it’s the big fish – Kieron Pollard. They say never run on a miss-field. Suryakumar Yadav forces Pollard for a second, the recovery is spot on by Odean Smith. 

Great comeback by Rahul as he gives just 15 runs in last three overs after getting hit for 29 runs in his first over. 

MI 150/4 in 16 overs Rahul Chahar is going for wickets in his last over. He is poking Pollard for a big shot. SKY trying to keep Pollard calm. This is MI’s last recognized batting pair. After this, it’s Jaydev Unadkat. Just four runs from the over.

MI 138/4 in 14 overs Rahul Chahar is back into the attack and Kieron Pollard, who has struggled against leg-spinners in the past, takes him on. Boundary down the ground for West Indian big hitter. 7 runs from the over. 

Mumbai Indians 131/3 in 13 Overs Arshdeep Singh is back into the attack. The left armer has bowled the first no-ball of the night. SKY needed a ball to break the shackles however he fails to get the elevation on free hit. Nevertheless, he pulls the next for a six over square leg. Yes, No, Yes, No and Tilak Varma runs himself out. This was the last thing MI wanted. 11 runs and a wicket from the over. 

OUT! Yes, No, Yes and Tilak Varma runs himself out. SKY did not even move while Tilak was almost at the other end. Arshdeep celebrates it aggressively. This was the last thing MI wanted. 

Mumbai Indians 120/3 in 12 Overs Rahul Chahar makes a great comeback. Just four runs from the over with few beautiful deliveries against in-form Suryakumar Yadav. 

Trivia 

If Dewald Brevis had made one more run, he would have been the youngest player to hit fifty in the history of IPL. 

Mumbai Indians 116/3 in 10 Overs Tilak Varma smashes Odean Smith for a six over off-side. It’s raining sixes here! Two 19-year-old taking MI towards their maiden points of the season. And it’s a drop! It was the last thing PBKS wanted. Vaibhav Arora drops Baby AB at third man. But it’s the bowler who had the last laugh as Brevis departs for 49. Give a simple catch to Arshdeep Singh at square leg. 

Mumbai Indians 105/2 in 10 Overs Tilak Varma joins the party. Goes for a pull shot, edges it for a boundary over the keeper’s head. Vaibhav Arora is under pressure now! Pick-up shot by Varma for a six. Scoops it for a six over third man. 12 runs from the over. 

Trivia 

29 run in one over against Dewald Brevis is the most expensive over by Rahul Chahar in his IPL carrer.

Mumbai Indians 92/2 in 9 Overs Baby AB on the go! Pulls one straight down the ground for boundary against Chahar then hits back-to-back sixes straight over the bowler’s head. Make that three in three for Brevis! This time it was back of a length by Rahul and he pulls it towards cow-corner for another maximum. Four in four. 29 runs from the over.

Mumbai Indians 63/2 in 8 Overs Tilak Varma and Dewald Brevis steady Mumbai’s ship after the first two wickets. The duo needs to stitch a partnership and keep an eye on the required run rate as well. Mumbai is depending on youngsters to get them their maiden points of the season. Punjab are bowling Rahul Chahar and Liam Livingstone from both ends. 

Mumbai Indians 42/2 in 6 Overs First six overs goes in favor of PBKS as they sent back both MI openers in the dugout. All eyes will be on Surykumar Yadav now

OUT! Now Ishan KIshan is back in the hut too. Vaibhav Arora gets him. Back of a length delivery, shaping away, Ishan Kishan went fishing and paid the price. Outside edge and taken. Both MI openers are back in the hut. 

OUT! Rabada gets the big man. Rohit is back in the hut as he tries to play the towards the leg-side. The ball takes the top edge, goes up in air, and Vaibhav Arora takes it. Relief for Punjab Kings.

Mumbai Indians 25/0 in 3 overs Arshdeep Singh comes into the attack. A quiet over with just 4 runs coming from it. 

Mumbai Indians 21/0 in 2 overs Rabada comes into the attack and Rohit greets him with a cover drive on the second ball of the over. Rohit now plays with soft hands, the balls takes the outside edge and goes for a boundary. MI are off to a flier. 9 runs from the over. 

Mumbai Indians 12/0 in 1 over Rohit Sharma gets off-the-mark first ball. Rohit now tries to scoop the ball over the leg-side but just manages to get an edge that flies over slip for four. Sharma now scoops the ball over fine-leg for six. Beware Punjab, The Hitman is in the mood. 12 runs from the over. 

Alright, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan are out in the middle. MI would be hoping for a solid opening partnership between these two. Right then, here we go.

Punjab Kings 198/5 Thampi is back into the attack to bowl the last over. Starts the over with a single, followed by a wide. Feeds the third bowl in the slot for Shahrukh Khan, and he isn’t missing out on those. He absolutely smashes it for a six over long-on. Alright, another wide, followed by another half volley and guess what? This too gets smashed for a six over long-off. Finally a good ball, and he has knocked Khan over with a yorker. 16 off the final over, and Mumbai needs 199 to set the ball rolling for them in IPL 2022.

Out! Another batsman gets clean bowled. This time it is Sharukh Khan. Basil Thampi gets the revenge after getting hit for a two sixes in the over earlier. 

Punjab Kings 182/4 in 19  overs Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the important 19th over. Bumrah has bowled six spot on yorkers in the over. Neither Jitesh nor Sharukh could get under them. Eight runs from the over. 

Punjab Kings 174/4 in 18  overs Unadkat bowls the slower ball, in the slot and Jitesh Sharma just smashes it for a six over wide long-off. The second ball goes for four towards long-off. Jitesh is hitting it really well. Scratch that, he is hitting them unbelievably. Another slower delivery and Jitesh has smoked it for a six over extra-cover. Unadkat is under the pump here. If all of this wasn’t enough, Jitesh reverse scoops Unadkat for a boundary to end the over. WHAT A PLAYER!

Punjab Kings 151/4 in 17 overs Thampi to bowl the 17th and 19th over for MI. Six! Thampi goes for a yorker misses the length by a fair margin. Dhawan bends his knee and slams it towards the cow-corner for a maximum. Thampi gets the revenge as Dhawan fails to connect one and Pollard takes easy catch at long-on. 12 runs and a wicket from the over. 

OUT! Shikhar Dhawan departs for 70. Thampi gets his revenge after being hit for a six earlier in the over. 50-ball 70 for Dhawan. His innings was studded with six boundaries and two sixes. 

PBKS 139/3 in 16 overs Tymall Mills is back into the attack and the ball tails in to hit Dhawan on the pads. Mumbai appeals but the umpire is unmoved. They take the DRS. The ultra-edge confirms it was bat first, and Dhawan survives. Now then, a trademark Dhawan uppercut for four. You know he is in the zone when he hits that shot. 7 runs from the over.

PBKS 132/3 in 15 overs Just four runs and a wicket from Jasprit Bumrah’s third over. The dangerous Livingstone is gone. Mumbai are making good comeback into the game. All eyes will be on Shikhar Dhawan. 

OUT! Clean bowled! This is the best yorker by Jasprit Bumrha that you will ever see. Right-arm over the wicket, Bumrah aims for the leg stump of in-form batsman Liam Livingstone. The English batter was beaten in the pace and the ball hits the leg stump. Just two runs from three balls for Liam. 

PBKS 128/2 in 14 overs Unadkat is back into the attack, and Dhawan decides to go fancy. Moves towards the off stump and laps it to the right of fine leg for a four to bring up his fifty. He has been a treat to watch today. Undakat bowls out Bairstow. Foxed him with a slower delivery, and he fell right into the trap. The score might not suggest it, but Mumbai is slowly taking control. However, Livingstone is in now, and that might not last long.

OUT! Jaydev clean bowled Bairstow! It was a slower one, Jonny tries to smash it towards the leg side, ends up dragging it to the stumps. Cleaver bowling by Jaydev. 

PBKS 120/1 in 13 overs Bairstow gets his first boundary of the night. Lofts the ball over the mid-off. Ishan Kishan drops a catch of Dhawan. It could have been the catch of the season. Eight runs from the over. 

PBKS 112/1 in 12 overs Interesting over from M Ashwin. Good control on display by the bowler. Both Dhawan and Bairstow wanted to take him to the cleaners but missed out. 6 runs from the over.

PBKS 106/1 in 11 overs Jasprit Bumrah brought back by Rohit. Uppercut to perfection! Shikhar Dhawan cuts Bumrah for a one-bounce boundary over Ishan Kishan’s head. Seven runs from the over. Two overs from Bumrah left. 

PBKS 99/1 in 10 overs Drama to start the over. Dhawan pulls the ball for six to backward square leg. Poor Brevis put in an outstanding effort to get his hands on the ball but dropped it mid-air. Now then, the party is over for Mayank as he mishits the ball a long way up in the air. Suryakumar Yadav settles under it and takes it with ease. Mayank is back in the hut. 9 runs from the over.

OUT! Mayank was living dangerously and he finally departs as M Ashwin provides Mumbai Indians with the breakthrough. Mayank goes for a big hit over long-off but this time he fails to get the elevation. Suryakumar Yadav takes an easy catch on the boundary line. 

PBKS 90/0 in 9 overs Change of ends for Mills. Mayank completes his fifty with a beautiful six over long-off. Picks up the slower ball to perfection. This is Mayank’s first fifty of the season and a much-needed one. 10 runs from the over. 

PBKS 80/0 in 8 overs Thampi comes back into the attack and is greeted with a boundary as Dhawan cuts the balls over backward point. Mayank now pulls the ball over mid-wicket, and Tilak Varma does well to save a couple of runs for his team in the deep. 10 runs from the over. Punjab is coasting along.

PBKS 70/0 in 7 overs Quiet over M Ashwin as Mayank and Dhawan fail to take the charge against leg-spinner. Just five runs from the over. Still, PBKS is maintaining a run rate of 10. 

Trivia 

This is the second highest powerplay score by Punjab against Mumbai in the history of IPL. 

PBKS 65/0 in 6 overs Tymall Mills comes into the attack and is treated with utter disdain by Dhawan as he hits the ball for four over covers. Mayak is just flaunting his range now as he uses Mills’ pace and guides the ball backward of square on the off-side. 12 runs from the over. 

PBKS 53/0 in 5 overs Just one over for Bumrah as Rohit brings in M Ashwin in the powerplay. Another boundary for Mayank towards point. Mayank makes it two in two as he dances down the track to lift the ball over mid-on’s head. PBKS takes charge on the leg-spinner as he hits him for a six-over long-off. There was a fielder on the boundary but the talisman backed himself to clear the boundary and does. Finish the over with a single. 17 runs from the over. 

PBKS 36/0 in 4 overs A single to start the fourth over for Punjab. Dhawan tucks the ball to Square leg for one. Dhawan survives a run-out scare after Mayank pushed the ball towards mid-off. A direct hit from Thampi, but Dhawan made it home. Some respite for Mumbai. Only 6 from the over.

PBKS 30/0 in 3 overs Jasprit Bumrah replaces Thampi. Dhawan welcomes him with a boundary down the leg side. Poor start for Bumrah. All three MI bowlers were hit for a boundary or a six on their first ball of the spell. Mayank ends the over with a boundary. Beautiful cover drive, the ball was in the air but it piercers through M Ashwin at point. Two wides and two boundaries from the over. 13 runs from the over. 

PBKS 17/0 in 2 overs Jaydev Unadkat gets the same treatment from Shikhar Dhawan as he hits the left-armer for a six. Insideout over covers for the first maximum of the night. Good comeback by Jaydev after being hit for a six on the first ball of the over. Just 1 run from next five balls. 

PBKS 10/0 in 1 over Mayank welcomes Thampi with a boundary towards the point. Perfect start for Punjab Kings. And again the replica of the last one, Pure timing by Mayank. The PBKS skipper is looking in good touch today. Expensive over to start for Thampi as he leaks 10 runs from the first. 

Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan are out in the middle for PBKS while Basil Thampi will begin the proceedings for MI

Here we go then! Mumbai Indians take on Punjab Kings in what is an almost do-or-die match for the five-time champions while Mayank Agarwal’s side will want to get back on winning ways after being hit by Tewatiya in the last game.

Rohit Sharma – We will bowl first. Looks like a similar pitch to the ones we have played, there will be help for the pacer, need to exploit. Just one change – Tymal Mills is back, replacing Ramandeep. Just want the guys to keep their heads high, it’s important not to lose focus, keep trying harder and harder to get the points.

Jaydev Unadkat is confident of Mumbai Indians making comeback in match against Punjab Kings

This team is known for coming back from this situation. The talent’s there, the situation was tough for the team in the past as well, it’s tough now but I think everyone together will bounce back for sure. It (mood in the camp) is pretty upbeat, everyone is looking to get that win under our belt. It’s always important to get that first win and then get that momentum. I would love that (for the ball to swing and seam), but if we are batting first then obviously not. If we are bowling first, I’d love to have that advantage of the pitch for sure. (On Sachin Tendulkar) It’s great, it’s something that you look to do in your cricketing career at some point of time. I have had the pleasure of playing with him as well when I made my Test debut. It’s always special, just talking to him about the game, not just him but other legends in the dressing room as well. It’s great talking about the game and learning from them all the time. I think every game is a must-win game to be honest. We just need that one win.

Pitch Report – Deep Dasgupta

This is the fifth game at this venue and this is the first time we’re playing on a used pitch, this was used for the first game played here. Being a centre wicket, the dimensions are pretty equal on both sides. With plenty of pace and bounce on offer, bowling short has been productive for the bowlers, although the batters have also made runs. There is an even covering of grass, toss might not prove to be a huge factor either.
