A commendable all-round show from Mumbai Indians helped them seal a thrilling 9-run win over Punjab Kings on Thursday at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh. Suryakumar’s masterclass helped Mumbai Indians put up a greatly formidable total of 192/7 in 20 overs. Yadav blitzed 78 from 53, demonstrating his prowess in the shortest format of the game.
