Background
IPL 2024, PBKS vs MI LIVE SCORE: Hello and welcome everybody to our live coverage of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) fixture at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Thursday (April 18). There is not much differentiating the two teams on the Indian Premier League (IPL) points table at the moment. The teams are placed seventh and eighth but have a minute decimal-point difference in their Net Run Rate (NRR) which has led to the differentiation in their rankings on the table.
IPL 2024 PBKS vs MI Live Score, Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians: As things stand, both the sides have four points from six matches. Both the teams will be desperate for two vital points as they play their seventh match, their midway mark in the league stage of IPL 2024. In their most recent encounters, both MI and PBKS succumbed to defeats. However, MI will have the positive of Rohit Sharma in great form as he smashed his first IPL hundredin 12 years in their last game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
These aren't the only similarities between the teams. Both the sides also have a pacer which has looked a class apart. In case of MI it is Jasprit Bumrah who has bowled at an economy of 6.08. For PBKS, the job has been done by Kagiso Rabada. However, other bowlers have not been as effective around them. In the batting depatrtment, much of the scoring has been done by Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma for PBKS and Rohit and Ishan Kishan For MI.
All in all that makes it for an exciting clash between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians.

IPL 2024, PBKS vs MI HIGHLIGHTS: Rabada The Last Man Out
Rabada tried to get back for a second but was caught inches short of his crease. Nabi with the throw and good bit of glovework from Kishan too as MI clean up PBKS innings for 183, in response to 192/7. But what a game. While we celebrate MI and Suryakumar Yadav's 78 off 53, spare a thought for Ashutosh Sharma who scored 61 off 28, potentially an innings that will propel him to limelight, given how he took on the likes of Jasprit Bumrah. But it was not to be for his team this evening in Mullanpur
