Hardik Pandya hails Shreyas Iyer
Hardik Pandya praised Shreyas Iyer for his exceptional performance. Speaking at the post-match presentation, the Mumbai Indians skipper called Iyer's innings really outstanding.
Punjab Kings got off to a shaky start during the run chase. However, Josh Inglis made an impact by smashing 20 runs off Jasprit Bumrah in a single over. Inglis was dismissed after scoring 38 from 21 balls. Nehal Wadhera then joined skipper Shreyas Iyer at the crease.
Mumbai Indians post competitive total
Earlier in the match, Mumbai Indians posted a competitive total of 203/6 after being sent in to bat. Jonny Bairstow scored 38 runs off 24 balls with three boundaries and two sixes, while Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav contributed 44 runs each.
Punjab Kings’ bowlers kept striking at regular intervals. Yuzvendra Chahal, Kyle Jamieson, Vyshak Vijay Kumar, and Marcus Stoinis chipped in with one wicket each, while Azmatullah Omarzai took two wickets in his four-over spell, though he was a bit expensive.
