Indian T20 League, Punjab vs Mumbai: IN PICS
Relive all the action in pictures from Punjab's first home game at Mohali where they thrashed Mumbai by 8 wickets.
30 March 2019 • 8:48 PM
Put into bat, Mumbai were off to a great start after Shami was hit for a couple of boundaries by Rohit Sharma and one from Quintin de Kock in the very second over. @ BCCI
Suryakumar Yadav was caught plumb in-front by Murugan Ashwin but De Kock found his ways to get boundaries off both the Ashwins. @ BCCI
TRENDING NOW
In between, Yuvraj Singh became Murugan’s second victim and once De Kock was trapped leg before by Shami, Mumbai were in a spot of bother. @ BCCI
Once Pollard was gone, Mumbai slumped to 146 for five from 120 for two. @ BCCI
Hardik Pandya once again provided the final flourish after yet another middle-order collapse as Mumbai managed 176 for 7. @ BCCI
De Kock with a 39-ball-60 created a platform which the middle-order unfortunately didn’t make full use of before Hardik smashed 31 off 19 balls to push Mumbai past 175-run mark. @ BCCI
Captain Rohit Sharma also looked good during his brief stay at the crease, scoring 32 off 18 balls with five fours. @ BCCI
For Punjab, it was the lesser known Ashwin – Murugan, who emerged as the most successful bowler with figures of 2 for 25 from his four overs. @ BCCI
Skipper Ravichandran Ashwin didn’t get any wickets but gave away only 26 runs in his four overs. @ BCCI
The pace troika of Mohammed Shami, Andrew Tye and Hardus Viljoenwere among wickets but bowled a lot of loose deliveries, giving away 13 fours and three sixes. @ BCCI
Gayle, who lit up Mohali, scored 40 off 24. @ BCCI
In reply, Punjab were off to a flier with Rahul playing second fiddle to perfection till the dashing Chris Gayle and the flamboyant Mayank Agarwal were at the crease but upped the ante when it was required. @ BCCI
Gayle batted in a manner only he can as he cleared his front leg and hit those towering sixes before Pandya brothers joined hands to send him back to the dug-out after an opening stand of 53. @ BCCI
The next partnership was equally interesting as Agarwal was in great nick during the 64 runs that he added with his close buddy Rahul in only 6.1 overs. @ BCCI
David Miller hit the winning runs as Punjab began their campaign at home with a win, their second of the season. @ BCCI
KL Rahul played the role of a sheet anchor to perfection as Punjab returned to winning ways with a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Mumbai in the Indian T20 League. @ BCCI
Rahul was unbeaten on 71 off 57 balls as Punjab reached the 177-run target in only 18.4 overs. This was KXIP’s second win in three games while MI lost their second game. @ BCCI
