revenge this time. Chelergi played in a high-scoring match at the IS
Bindra Stadium in Mohali. As a result, they chased down the target of 215
runs with seven balls to spare, losing only 4 wickets.
Captain Rohit Sharma (0) was disappointing in turn, but Ishan Kishan and
Suryakumar Yadav were the sky’s limit. Both of them played badly against
the Punjab bowlers. This reduced the target to 200 runs. Ishan Kishan
scored 75 runs in 41 balls with 7 fours and 4 sixes while Suryakumar Yadav
scored 66 runs in 31 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes to win the team. This
is Mumbai’s fifth win in 9 matches.
After both of them got out in the end, Punjab’s hopes of victory increased,
but Tim David’s 19 (3 fours in 10 balls) and Hyderabadi batsman Tilak
Verma’s 26 (4s in 10 balls, 3 sixes) gave the team a unique victory. Among
the Punjab bowlers, Nathan Ellis got two wickets. Ishan Kishan was awarded
‘Player of the Match’.
