Mumbai Indians 192 for 7 (Suryakumar 78, Harshal 3-31) beat Punjab Kings 183 all out (Ashutosh 61, Shashank 41, Bumrah 3-21) by 9 runs
Ashutosh Sharma’s heroic 28-ball 61 went in useless as Punjab Kings suffered yet one more shut defeat in IPL 2024, this time happening to Mumbai Indians in Mullanpur by 9 runs.
Early within the chase, Kings had been on the threat of being bundled out cheaply when Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee mixed to depart the hosts 14 for 4 in 2.1 overs. Quickly that turned 77 for six. However Ashutosh – and Shashank Singh with a 25-ball 41 – injected life into the competition.
With three overs to go, Kings wanted solely 25 runs extra. Nevertheless, Ashutosh fell in the beginning of the 18th over, and Mumbai by no means let that benefit go. Kings had been all out within the remaining over to undergo their fourth final-over defeat of the season, their fifth loss in all, as Mumbai climbed from ninth to seventh on the desk.
