Mumbai Indians (MI) edged Punjab Kings (PBKS) out by 6 wickets with one ball to spare in match 58 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala on Thursday, May 14.
It wasn't a straightforward win for MI as they needed 50 runs off the last three overs, but Tilak Varma kept his nerves and slammed a heroic 75 not out off just 33 balls to chase the 201-run target down in 19.5 overs. Varma struck six sixes and the same number of fours during his innings.
MI needed 15 runs from the last over, and Tilak and Jack blasted Bartlett for three sixes to finish the game. Tilak was supported well by a quick-fire 25 off 10 balls by Will Jacks, and both of them took MI over the line in style.
In the first innings, PBKS again got off to a strong start with a 5-run stand and were cruising at 107/1 in 11.1 overs until Shardul Thakur took matters into his hands and rattled Punjab's middle-order to leave them reeling at 140/7 in 16.2 overs.
However, Azmatullah Omarzai's fiery 38 off 17 balls took Punjab Kings to 200 in 20 overs. Xavier Bartlett and Vishnu Vinod put on a quick-fire 9th wicket stand and played a vital role in assisting PBKS to cross the 200-run barrier.
Tilak Varma was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his heroic 75-run innings.
