Punjab Kings may feel they’ve pulled things back a touch after Mumbai Indians looked set for a 220-plus total with Jonny Bairstow, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav firing in tandem. However, timely breakthroughs from Yuzvendra Chahal and Kyle Jamieson, followed by Azmatullah Omarzai’s key wickets in the death overs, stemmed the flow of runs. Despite some sloppy fielding and lucky top edges from MI batters that either dropped safe or raced to the boundary, PBKS managed to limit the damage to 203/6.

That said, Mumbai Indians have an enviable record—they have never lost an IPL match after scoring over 200 runs. If that streak continues tonight, they’ll be marching into their seventh IPL final.

Mumbai’s scoreboard crosses 150 runs in Vyshak’s over. Last ball to go and four runs so far in this over. An economic over for Punjab. Nicely finished. Oh not now! Hardik takes one, goes for another and a throws that misses wickets and Shashank Singh can’t stop that. A misfield and six more adds to the over. MI 156/4 (16)

Jamieson gets a massive wicket on his first ball. He sends Tilak Varma back at 44. We saw SKY walking back two balls ago at 44 and now a big loss for Mumbai in the form of Tilak. Naman Dhir walks in to play. Now we have two new batters on the pitch. This would slow down things tad bit. For Verma’s catch, credit also to Priyansh Arya who perfectly judged the ball and held on to it. MI 146/4 (15)

This is Chahal’s last over of the innings. Chahal to Tilak: Single comes off the first. SKY on strike. And he hits down the ground for a solid boundary. A dot and Surya goes again. This time for a maximum. Chahal gets SKY in his final over! Finally some relief for Punjab. Wadhera takes the catch. Suryakumar walks back at 44. Hardik Pandya walks in to play. Strategic timeout. MI 142/3 (14)

Jamieson bowls this one to Suryakumar. The first one would have been a Wide but SKY plays it. Similar next bowl and he lofts it over backward point for a boundary. Surya goes for a Scoop but gets shot on the ribs! That would have hurt. An economical over by Jamieson so far. Not on the last ball. He pulls this time and into the gap for four. 8 from the over. MI 131/2 (13)

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav and this one goes high…higher and a sixer! Jamieson leaps at full stretch but the ball is not near him. And a 50-run partnership comes up between SKY and Tilak. Total 11 runs come off this over. MI 123/2 (12)

The 10th over from Azmatullah to Tilak Varma starts with a double, followed by a boundary. Azmatullah goes for a yorker but ends up with a full-toss. Verma plays it well. Last ball hit for a boundary but good effort by Wadhera saves 2 runs. 10 runs come off the over. MI 112/0 (11)
