PBKS faced a narrow defeat in the previous IPL clash against MI
Punjab Kings suffered a narrow 9-run defeat against Mumbai Indians in their previous Indian Premier League clash in Mullanpur on April 18, 2024.
Chasing the target, they got off to a disastrous start, collapsing to 14/4 inside just 13 balls. Then, Shashank Singh (41) and Ashutosh Sharma (61) showcased a batting masterclass to keep their side in the hunt.
However, the dismissal of Shashank in the 13th over and Ashutosh Sharma in the 18th over, came as a major blow for PBKS, and they were eventually all out for 183 in 19.1 overs.
