PBKS vs MI: MI bosses the 215 chase!
Mumbai Indians spilled too many runs with ball, but their batting has put-up another show to chase it down. This one was way easier then chasing RR’s 214 as they finished it with 7 deliveries left.

PBKS vs MI: Another partnership starts to flourish!!

PBKS vs MI: PBKS on-road for another high total!
Piyush Chawla knocked Short over with a googly in the 12th over, but since then PBKS have added 50 runs in no time. Jitesh Sharma has came in and has taken the scoring rate from 8.25 to 9.66 in a span of 3 overs. Liam Livingstone has also unleashed the big shots and they haven’t spared any bowler, not even Jofra Archer. MI’s poor fielding has supported PBKS’s quest very well. Right now they look set for another 200+ total with MI bowling faltering once again. PBKS 145/3 after 15 overs. Can MI turn things around and restrict them to under 200?.. We will find out in another half-an-hour.
PBKS vs MI: PBKS keep the runs ticking!
Punjab Kings keep the runs flowing but have lost Shikhar Dhawan in the process. The southpaw was looking to be aggressive and maximize the favourable match-up.

PBKS vs MI: PBKS 50/1 after the powerplay!
