MI openers - Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton make their way in the ground, while Arshdeep Singh will start the proceedings for PBKS with the ball.

MI 0/0 (0)

Arshdeep Singh takes on MI's batting with 2 wickets off back-to-back deliveries. First, he traps Ryan Rickelton on the deep square leg boundary and then follows it with a out-swinging delivery forcing SKY to push at it only to hit in into the short third man fielder.

MI 13/2 (2.2)

That was poor miss by Yuzvendra Chahal on short fine leg boundary. PBKS bowlers have kept things in control with MI going at a run-rate of just above 6 runs per over. MI will have to get a move on here and both the batters are quite capable of doing so.

MI 33/1 (5)

Quinton de Kock target Yuvzendra Chahal's first over and takes his down for 19 runs to provide the much needed impetus to MI's innings innings. De Kock is looking really good at the crease with 26 off 15 balls and is complemented quite well by Naman Dhir (34 off 18 balls).

MI 67/2 (7)

Quinton de Kock once again proves why he had been such a reckoning force in international cricket as he brings up his fifty of his 28 balls. MI were reeling at 12/2, when de Kock counter-attacked and smashed a balzing half-century to get MI to a strong position.

MI 97/2 (10)

Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir have now forged an unbeaten 120-run stand for the third wicket. Both the batter are playing exceptionally well, smashing ball all around the park. Danger signs for PBKS.

PBKS 132/2 (13)

Shashank Singh has done it again for PBKS as he gets the key wicket of dangerous looking Naman Dhir, who departs after scoring a well-made half-century of 31 balls. Hardik Pandya joins De Kock on the crease.

MI 136/3 (14)

What a catch! Hardik Pandya smashed the ball in the air and looked like it's going out of the park but Shreyas Iyer made an absolute special effort at the boundary to pluck the ball inside the ground and Xavier Bartlett took a beautiful relay catch to dismiss the MI skipper.

MI 176/4 (18)

Mumbai end their innings at 195/5 in 20 overs courtesy of a brilliant unbeaten century by Quinton de Kock. He remained not out on 112 off just 60 balls.

MI 195/5 (20)

Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya gets Punjab off to a flying start as they take 21 runs from the first over of Deepak Chahar. PBKS depends heavily on these two openers in the stiff chase.

PBKS 21/0 (1)

Hardik Pandya bangs it in short to Cooper Connolly, and it’s launched into the stands! Slightly short, a bit of width on offer, and Connolly barely moves his feet, just leans into it and smokes it straight back down the ground. Clean, powerful strike as the ball clears the rope with ease.

Despite losing two wickets, Punjab Kings are off to a strong start in the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer (12*) and Prabhsimran Singh (16*) have looked good on the crease and MI need to break this partnership as early as possible or they could take the match away from the hosts.

MI 61/2 (6)

Prabhsimran Singh hits Hardik Pandya for two fours to get 12 runs from the over. Danger signs for MI as both the batter are looking in charge of the chase. They need wickets or else another loss is on the cards for MI.

MI 100/2 (10)

Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran takes down Jasprit Bumrah for 16 runs. PBKS now need just 50 runs in 42 balls with two set batters on crease and eight wickets in hand.

MI 146/2 (13)

Shreyas Iyer flicks it beautifully but the deep mid wicket fielder takes a beautiful catch to dismiss the PBKS skipper. However, it's too little too late for MI as PBKS now need just 12 runs to win in 27 balls.

PBKS 184/3 (15.4)

Marcus Stoinis finishes things off for Punjab with a beautiful boundary. PBKS registered a comprehensive seven wicket win over MI as they chased down the 196-run target with 21 balls to spare. Shreyas Iyer and Prabhsimran Singh starred in PBKS' win with their stellar knocks.

MI 198/3 (16.3)

That's a wrap from our end. We'll be back soon with another blog, until then, bye bye.
