A power-packed performance from sloggers Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard was followed by a disciplined effort from the bowlers as Mumbai Indians notched up a comfortable 48-run win against Kings XI Punjab in Abu Dhabi. Chasing a daunting 192 for victory, Punjab got off to a good start with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal teeing off but then a flurry of wickets just exposed the fragile middle order as Punjab’s chase then crumbled like a pack of cards. Nicholas Pooran hit a solid 44 off 27 but lacked support from the other end. For Mumbai, James Pattinson, Rahul Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah picked up a couple of wickets each while Trent Boult and Krunal Pandya also managed a wicket. Mumbai now have 2 wins and 2 defeats from their four matches.
