Punjab Kings scored 187/3 in 18.3 overs to defeat Mumbailndians by seven wickets at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Priyansh Arya (62) and Josh Inglis (73) put on a 109-run stand for the second wicket to set-up the important victory

With this win, Punjab have virtually confirmed the first spot, citing their superior run-rate over RCB, who have a chance of levelling PBKS on points when they face LSG on Wednesday.
In the first innings, where batters failed to make much of a mark, Suryakumar Yadav's gritty 57 led Mumbai Indians to a total of 184/7 in 20 overs against Punjab Kings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Yadav, who is known for his innovation and aggressive batting, has now certainly added longevity to his innings. His 57 off 39 deliveries saw him bat deep while his teammates struggled to make big scores and launched an all out attack in the death overs.
In response, Arya got their chase off on the right foot with two beautiful looking back-foot drives through cover off Trent Boult. Deepak Chahar responded with a surprise maiden but Prabhsimran Singh (13) went after him in his second over. A six and a four, coupled with another boundary through the covers by Arya, saw 16 runs coming in the fourth over.
