PBKS vs MI Highlights, IPL 2023: Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav help Mumbai bulldoze Punjab by six wickets

Jofra Archer is reintroduced in the attack and he starts with a beamer against Livingstone. 

Following the beamer, Archer concedes four boundaries in his over as 21 runs come off it. PBKS: 120-3 (13 overs)

Piyush Chawla comes to bowl his final over and gets the wicket of Matthew Short. The bowler cleans up Short for 27(26). 

Five runs and a wicket come in the over. PBKS: 99/3 (12 overs)

Akash Madhwal comes into the attack and he starts with a length ball, which is smashed just over the bowler for a boundary by Livingstone. He bowls a yorker, which is a dot, but also oversteps in the process. Madhwal then nails another yorker in the freehit delivery, which results in a single. 

The strike is passed to Livingstone and the bowler drops his length and ends up bowling full. Livingstone whacks it for a six over the square leg region. 

16 runs come off the over. PBKS move to 94/2 in 11 overs

A late cut by Liam Livingstone, waited for the ball and gently guided it past the wicketkeeper for a boundary. Seven runs come off the over. PBKS: 78/2 (10 overs)

Kumar Kartikeya comes to bowl the ninth over and concedes just six runs in it. PBKS: 71/2 (9 overs)

Kumar Kartikeya is introduced in the attack and he almost gets the wicket of Dhawan, who is dropped by Jofra Archer at backward point. Dhawan cuts it straight to the fielder but the ball hits his palms and results in a double.

However, Dhawan doesn't make much use of the second chance as he is stumped on 30(20) in the next over bowled by Piyush Chawla. 

Dhawan welcomes the spinner with a boundary, charges down the track in the next ball but is beaten by Chawla's googly. Ishan Kishan does the rest. PBKS: 65/2 (8 overs)

Rohit brings in Piyush Chawla to bowl the final powerplay over and he is welcomed with a lofted drive straight over the bowler's head for a boundary by Dhawan. The PBKS skipper then sweeps it towards the square region, which results in another four, as Arshad Khan stationed there fails to judge it. 

10 runs come off the over as Punjab accumulate 50/1 in powerplay.

Jofra Archer is introduced in the attack and he bowls a decent over, which results in just five singles. PBKS: 40/1 (5 overs)

Arshad Khan bangs it short against Matthew Short, who pulls it over the square leg region for  a maximum. Arshad then bowls it full, drifting on the batter's pads, who guides it past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 

12 runs come in Arshad Khan's over as PBKS reach 35/1 in 4 overs

Cameron Green continues from the other end and Dhawan gets a boundary against the Australian. Plays it on the on-side but not great timing. However, the quick outfield does the job for the PBKS skipper as the ball reaches the fence. 

He had earlier completed a double in the same over. PBKS: 23-1 (3 overs)

Arshad Khan will share the new ball with Green and he is welcomed with a boundary by Prabhsimran. Bowls it full and the batter drives it towards long-on for a boundary. 

The bowler responds well and changes his length. Drops it back, offers width and Prabhsimran goes hard at it. However, he gets an edge which is collected by Ishan. He falls for 9(7).

Matthew Short joins the action and opens his account with a boundary. PBKS: 17/1 (2 overs) 

A good start for Punjab as Prabhsimran gets off the mark with a double and then completes three runs. 

Shikhar Dhawan ends the over with a four. PBKS: 9/0 (1 over)

Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran kick-off the proceedings in Mohali. Cameron Green leads the attack for MI.

MI: Suryakumar Yadav, Dewald Brevis, Vishnu Vinod, Ramandeep Singh, Tristan Stubbs.

PBKS: Nathan Ellis, Sikandar Raza, Atharva Taide, Mohit Rathee, Shivam Singh.

Punjab Kings: Prabhsimran Singh, Shikhar Dhawan(c), Matthew Short, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma(w), Sam Curran, Shahrukh Khan, Harpreet Brar, Rishi Dhawan, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh 

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Cameron Green, Tilak Varma, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Jofra Archer, Piyush Chawla, Kumar Kartikeya, Akash Madhwal, Arshad Khan

Mumbai Indians win toss and opt to bowl.

The match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings has been called off due to rain as both sides share one point each.

Can Punjab capitalise on the situation and jump to 12 points and grab the number two spot? 

With rain interrupting the proceedings in the afternoon clash, Punjab have a good opportunity to make a massive climb on the points table.

If the clash between LSG and CSK gets abandoned and both sides share one point each, they'll move to 11. While a win here against Mumbai will take Punjab to 12 and place them second on the points table.

So rain in the other match looks like a win-win situation for Dhawan and Co.

“There's some good coverage of grass on the wicket, but there are some bad patches, so it might be two-paced. Teams winning the toss are expected to chase here.”

Piyush Chawla, who is currently the leading wicket-taker in the Mumbai camp, needs 3 more wickets to break into the top-three highest wicket-takers in IPL.

He has so far scalped 170 wickets in 173 appearances. 13 of those 170 wickets have come in this edition. 

Punjab too head into the contest on the back of a morale boosting win, which saw them defeat CSK at their own den. Chasing a stiff 200-run target, every batter in the Punjab line-up fired and drove them beyond the line in the final ball of the contest.

They have played one match more than their opponent Mumbai and have 10 points from nine matches.

Mumbai will definitely head into the contest with high spirits as they chased down a mountain 212 with three balls to spare.

Tim David had smoked 45* in just 14, which featured five 6s and two 4s. 

Suryakumar Yadav scored 55 off 29 balls, which include eight 4s and two 6s. 

Heading into the contest, Mumbai Indians will hope to build onto the winning momentum and a much-needed push on the points table. A defeat, however, will see them slip further in the play-offs race and endure yet another tough season after finishing in the bottom half in the last two editions.

As per the current standings, Mumbai are placed seventh with 8 points from the same number of matches.

Arshdeep Singh broke the stumps twice in consecutive deliveries in the previous encounter between Mumbai and Punjab in Wankhede. 

With Mumbai Indians requiring 15 from the final four balls in the 215-run chase, Arshdeep bowled two unplayable yorkers to dismiss Tilak and Nehal Wadhera. 

MI could only reach 201/6 in 20 overs and lost the match by 13 runs.
