PBKS vs MI highlights: Arshdeep stars Punjab trounce Mumbai to be placed fifth

Perennial slow starters Mumbai Indians have found their mojo and will be favourites against a faltering Punjab Kings in their encounter on Saturday Having made a poor start with defeats in first two matches Mumbai Indians who are placed sixth in the points table have been able to bounce back impressively with wins against Delhi Capitals Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers HyderabadOn the other hand Punjab Kings ranked seventh in the points table have stuttered in the absence of their regular captain and the highest runscorer Shikhar Dhawan who is unlikely to play against Mumbai Indians here at the Wankhede Stadium owing to a shoulder injuryDhawan played a key role in PBKS making a confident start to the season but his absence has made a significant difference in the outcomes that have come along their way Punjab Kings fielding coach Trevor Gonsalves informed after their 24run loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday that Dhawan would need another 23 days to attain complete fitnessPunjab Kings have three wins to show from overall six matches but all three losses have come in their last four matches with PBKS desperately missing the stability and firepower that Dhawan

Nathan Elliss final over of the match He starts off with a backoflength delivery and the batsman manages to pull it away toward midwicket resulting in a couple of runs On the second ball Ellis bowls a low fulltoss and Tim David immediately recognizes the opportunity to launch it over midwicket sending the ball soaring 114 meters for a six in the top tier Thats an incredible shot Theres a bit of commotion in the middle between Tilak Verma Sam Curran and the umpire regarding a possible obstruction of space but it turns out that Ellis was slow in collecting the ball after it deflected off the stumps at the nonstrikers end allowing the batters to complete two runs The penultimate over yields 15 runs bringing the equation down to 16 needed off the final over1056 PM 1834 in 175 oversArshdeep Singh has just taken a crucial wicket for his team as Suryakumar Yadav departs after scoring a quickfire 57 off just 26 deliveries Singh delivers a dipping full toss from around the wicket aimed at the stumps and Suryakumar attempts to whip it towards the leg side but mistimes his shot The ball goes straight to Atharva Taide who takes a stunning catch leaving Suryakumar Yadav surprised and shocked This catch could potentially be the matchwinning moment for the opposing team while Sam Curran is ecstatic with the result The final scorecard shows Suryakumars innings consisted of seven boundaries and three sixes1045 PM 1813 after 17 oversIt has been a longawaited return for Suryakumar Yadav since his unfortunate series against Australia during which he suffered three consecutive golden ducks However he has now regained his form and is back to his usual style of scoring He starts the over by playing a deft paddle stroke for a boundary and then follows it up by launching the ball over deep midwicket for a six Mumbai Indians are cruising at 1753 after 17 overs requiring only 40 runs from the final 18 deliveries to seal the win1039 PM 1613 after 16 oversNathan Ellis to Green caught out by Sam Curran Back of the hand slower ball from Nathan Ellis Green was in no mood to let that go scotfree He swings as hard as he can and feeds a thick top edge while at it it loops up high in the night sky and Curran keeps his calm running back from extra cover to his left1038 PM 1322 after 14 oversNathan Ellis has returned to bowl and he delivers a short ball which Suryakumar Yadav was anticipating He executes his trademark shot over fine leg for a maximum Suryakumar appears to be in excellent form and it will be an effortless victory for Mumbai Indians if he maintains this momentum until the end The score is now 1182 after 13 overs1025 PM 1172 after 12 oversLivingstone bowled a length delivery which Suryakumar elegantly swept for a boundary towards the fine leg Shortly after he repeated the same shot and placed the ball to the left of the short third man for another four runs Suryakumar continued his impressive form by sweeping the next delivery to the left of the short fine leg fielder for yet another boundary1014 PM 882 after 9 oversBefore delivering the ball Livingstone shared a cheeky smile anticipating that the MI skipper would try to hit him hard So he slowed down the ball a bit around the middle and off The halfhearted flick skews off the thick inside half of Rohits bat resulting in an easy return catch for Livingstone who jogs to his right to complete the catch Rohit gets caught and bowled by Livingstone scoring 44 runs in 27 balls including four fours and three sixes955 PM 541 after 6 oversAfter the early fall of opener Ishan Kishan skipper Rohit and Cameron Green have somehow managed to bring MI back on top in the powerplay As Brar enters his second over he delivers an overpitched ball to Cameron Green who then smashes it through extra cover for a four Despite being in a chase Mumbai is currently ahead of Punjab in the game The visitors lost track during the middle overs in the first innings If Rohit and Green can maintain their momentum the hosts may become the favourites even though they need to score 215 runs940 PM 361 in 3 oversArshdeep Singh sends Ishan Kishan packing with a welljudged catch Arshdeeps pitched up ball outside off swung away and Kishan sliced it uppishly over cover point However Short was placed at deep backward point and covered good ground to take the catch The early dismissal of Kishan was an ideal start for PBKS leaving him walking back dejectedly with just one run off four balls920 PM 2148 in 20 oversPunjab Kings finish at 214 runs after 20 overs as Sam Curran 55 off 29 along with Harpreet Bhatias fifty get PBKS to a challenging total at the Wankhede Stadium Jitesh Sharmas fiery cameo in the end has helped PBKS post this total but we have to notice the Arjun Tendulkar over which gave Punjab 31 runs when Curran and Bhatia were in the middle900 PM 1684 17 OversArjun Tendulkar conceded 31 runs in the fifteenth over which has changed the scenario for Mumbai
