Kxip CAPTAIN KL RAHUL WON A TOSS & ELECTED BOWL FIRST.

MI OPENERS ROHIT SHARMA AND WK BATSMEN QUINTON DE KOCK.Mumbai Indians lost two wickets in the powerplay at the score of 41runs, as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan started rebuilt the innings steadily.

Rohit Sharma, as usual, dazzled with his 70-run , putting up a fifty run-stand with the rusty In the form batsman Ishan Kishan.

Gowtham disposes of Kishan, and closures his anguish! After last match's heroics, the left-hander truly didn't get moving today. Punjab have kept the scoring rate under seven, which says a lot about their affinity today. Fine rebound by Sheldon Cottrell after that forgettable over to Tewatia. His figures: 4-1-20-1. Could the bowlers keep stifling the batsmen? Wait...Pollard is here!




AT LAST,BOTH POWERFUL HITTER OF MI PUT 67-run partnership of only 23 balls between Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard fueled Mumbai Indians to 191/4 against Kings XI Punjab in Abu Dhabi. Put into bat in the wake of losing the throw, Mumbai got off to a helpless beginning, losing Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav early. Be that as it may, captain Rohit Sharma drove from the front with a lumpy 70 off 45 balls. Kings XI Punjab glanced in charge till the 17 the over however then Hardik and Pollard totally tore separated the Punjab bowlers to help Mumbai to an overwhelming aggregate. Hardik scored an energetic 11-ball 30* while Pollard wound up on 47* off only 20 balls.

Mumbai score 62 runs off the last 3 overs! .FOR KXIP COTTRELL BOWL VERY WELL comeback after getting five six in earlier match but today only given 20 runs with one wicket in 4 overs.but he had completed the spell before the death bowl.In which Shami given only 17 runs in his 3 over but went past 36 in which he considered 18 runs from last overs.Death bowling is a big concern for Kings XI Punjab. They are not getting it right at all. Tough chase for Punjab but they have the firepower in their ranks.


As kxip come to bat,BUMRAH HAS DONE IT! Had mentioned that it requires something special to break the resolve of the Punjab openers, but boy, when you have the man with the golden arm, why worry! Sensational delivery by the star to get rid of Agarwal, who hitting very nicely today gone for 25 runs and now, Punjab in a spot of bother! 

After mayank agrawal big breakthrough,Karun nair goes for duck and KL Rahul also been bowled around his legs, and Rahul Chahar has got the big fish.Nicholas Pooran is timing the ball wonderfully, and this innings is undermining Mumbai Indians. Maxwell has looked corroded, however he can possibly compensate for all the spot balls. Mumbai need to get through soon. We are in for a spine chiller, people!

Pooran super innings 44 of 27 balls come to end in pattinson over.A wicket on return for Pattinson. The big one in fact. Pooran was looking like the danger man. Pattinson's plan was simple, to angle the ball away from Pooran. The first ball was sliced over the circle. Pooran tried the same on second ball but the fuller delivery kissed the bat on its way to the keeper

Rahul Chahar caps off his spell, with the huge wicket of Glenn Maxwell! Never got going today, did the Big Show. Stunning figures from the leg-spinner: 4-0-26-2.

From that kxip need 57 needed from last over which was only formalty. 12 from the penultimate over. Boult also got a wicket, of Bishnoi, who played the slice shot straight to Surya at backward point. A boundary in the over for Shami and a six for Gowtham. 






MI beat KXIP by 48 runs. Punjab made a good start but the bowling gave away in the death as Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya hit sixes at will. 192 was always going to be a steep target and it became tougher with Bumrah dismissing Agarwal early on. From there, the chase was never on. KXIP need to improve a lot, from bowling to captaincy.
