[jiduguravindra]

Worst pitches to play t20 matches..should have held at hyderabad instead of chennai.

 

[Saj]

Mumbai batting like Pakistan in Zimbabwe.

Big struggle so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

39 . 2

9 overs

Punjab would be very happy with the start here

 

[Devadwal]

Ravi Bishnoi should play all match for Punjab

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

Sharma gets that away

 

[Saurav]

MI batting smartly on a tough track

120 would be winning score

 

[Justcrazy]

MI would be depending on late hitting by Pandya and Pollard here

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma has realized he needs to bat deep here , its not an easy pitch to bat

 

[Justcrazy]

Fifty by Rohit

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid partnership , MI doing good recovery.

 

[guna]

Pollard should be ashamed of his belly. Looks like he is eating well.

 

[Justcrazy]

111 . 3

18 balls to go , MI would be looking for a strong finish here

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab has bowled really well today , they clearly mean business here

 

[Justcrazy]

132 is the target for Punjab here , they are ahead in the game now.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pollard should be ashamed of his belly. Looks like he is eating well.

Why should he? He's fast enough and one of the best fielder from their side! What more you need..?

 

[King_Kohli]

will Punjab chase? or choke?

 

[Hasan123]

This is a chance for Pubjab. They should be winning this game.

 

[King_Kohli]

Mumbai Indians runs this season
1st Match - 159
2nd Match - 152
3rd Match - 150
4th Match - 137
5th Match - 131
They're just getting worse at this Chennai venue, luckily this is last match for them in Chennai

 

[Smbhayi]

Is that Tim Southee on screen in the dug out? Why he's look so nervous..

 

[Smbhayi]

Super inside out 6 by Agarwal..

 

[King_Kohli]

Is Punjab playing on different pitch?

 

[Justcrazy]

Solid start by Punjab openers , they batting beautifully here

 

[Justcrazy]

If Chahar does not pick wickets , this will be very easy chase for punjab

 

[Justcrazy]

Mayank is batting well here , he is taking pressure off Rahul , who can relax here

 

[Justcrazy]

50 up in no time

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Chahar strikes , first blood !

 

[King_Kohli]

Punjab Kings need 76 runs in 72 balls

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 69 runs in 54 balls. RRR: 7.66


Punjab need to be careful, cannot let required rate go over 8 here , someone has to take calculated risk here

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle has played the cameo , that was required by Punjab

 

[Justcrazy]

MI trying hard here , if they had another 20 runs , this would have been a close and tight game

 

[Justcrazy]

Gayle is using all his experience here to take Punjab home.

 

[Justcrazy]

24 from 24 balls , as Bumrah comes in.

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings won by 9 wickets (with 14 balls remaining)

 

[Hasan123]

Great win for Punjab Kings. They played really well today. They have a strong batting line up. If there bowlers can keep doing the job, they could spring a surprise.

 

[Ab Fan]

Mumbai Indians have now lost all their three matches of this year's IPL against the teams that haven't won the IPL even once.

1)Royal Challengers Bangalore
2)Delhi Capitals
3)Punjab Kings

And they were lucky KKR collapsed otherwise they would have lost that match.

 

[Ab Fan]

And they were lucky KKR collapsed otherwise they would have lost that match.

The credit goes to the brilliance of their spinners and the two pacers. Also, Bumrah has the numbers of Russell.

SRH also

 

[RamLakhan]

MI look off-color this season! The effectiveness of De-Cock, Ishan, SKY, Pandya, etc, seems to be lessened. Bumrah's magic is also getting reduced! But still they can make surprising comebacks!
