PBKS vs MI HIGHLIGHTS: Mumbai Indians Beat Punjab Kings By 9 Runs In Thrilling Fixture
IPL 2024, PBKS vs MI HIGHLIGHTS: Ashutosh Sharma's maiden IPL fifty kept PBKS alive but eventually it was MI who won by 9 runs.
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
It's a RUN OUT and MI win by 9 runs. What a game. IPL continues to amaze us match after match, season after season.
Wide to start off. A dramatic finish loading.
Madhwal Will Bowl Last Over. He has conceded 44 runs off his first 3 overs.
FIRST-BALL SIX from Number 11 Kagiso Rabada. He connects the pull and the ball goes flying over the leg-side fence. Then a single. PBKS- 181/9. They need 12 runs off 6 balls. Rabada will have the strike.
Harpreet Brar falls. He goes for the pick up on the leg side and he almost clears it but it's a catch near the boundary rope for Nabi. Brar falls for 21 off 20. PBKS- 174/9 after 18.4 Overs.
Wide Not Given. PBKS review but decision remains intact as batter had shuffled across.
MI Allowed Only 4 Players Outside 30-Yard circle for the last 2 overs as they are behind on the over rate. Hardik to bowl the 19th.
2 runs and a wicket off that Coetzee over who finishes with figures of 3 for 32. They need 23 runs from 12 balls.
Harshal Patel new batter in for PBKS.
Coetzee produces the wicket. The field is set for his bouncer plan and it has worked for MI. WIcket at just the right time for them and it's the big one of Ashutosh Sharma who falls for 61 off 28, an innings that saw him hit seven sixes and pretty much single-handedly kept them alive in the game. PBKS- 168/8 after 17.1 Overs.
Only 3 off the over then. Top class from Bumrah who finishes with figures of 3 for 21. But PBKS do not give away a wicket in that over. MI need 25 runs from 18 balls.
Two Dots To Follow. 3 runs off the 5 balls. Last ball loading from Bumrah.

Ashtosh plays an AB de Villiers-inspired reverse-scoop for a maximum. This is top class from Ashustosh. Off the free hit ball. Match is PBKS' to lose or so it seems, the way he has been playing.
AShutosh with a 23-ball 50. Over long off. Is this a career changing innings for Ashutosh?
Equation At The Moment. PBKS Need 52 from 30 balls.

That allows PBKS to get 9 off the over. PBKS- 120/7 after 13 overs.
WICKET and it's that man Bumrah again. He has deceived Shashank Singh with a slower one to break the partnership which was beginnig to look threatening. It's wicket first ball of his second spell.

Shashank Singh with successive sixes off Gopal. Is there life alive in this game?

PBKS- 76/5 after 9 overs. They need 117 runs from 66 deliveries.

It's a short-pitch ball and Shashank gets into position early before depositing it over the midwicket fence off the first ball of the leg-spinner.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) Batters Out In The Middle are Shashank Singh, Harpreet Singh.
Would you believe it? It's the fourth wicket down for PBKS and this is only the third over.

PBKS- 14/4 after 2.1 Overs.
What an over that from Bumrah. First he rattles the stumps of Rilee Rossouw before producing a little tickle off the bat of Curran which was taken down the leg side. MI reviewed after it was given as a wide and they got their man. 2 runs, 2 wickes in that over. PBKS-14/3 after 2 overs.
PBKS may have started with a boundary off Curran, 5 wides and 1 leg byes but Prabhsimran Singh is out for a golden duck off the third ball.

And Tilak now makes two in a row. Comes down the ground to make it a full toss and then pierces the off-side field for a boundary. Crucial boundaries these.

MI- 96/1 after 11 overs post that 10-run over. Rohit Sharma- 36* off 23, Suryakumar Yadav- 51* off 35.
He was deceived by the slower ball and his one hand went off the handle but Rohit went through this shot over long on and as it turns out, he has just about managed to clear long on for the maximum.
It's a half-century for SKY. He has got there off 34 balls and reaches the landmark with a single off Harshal. MI need him and Rohit to continue while PBKS search for a wicket.
And now Harshal has the ball in hand.

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.
