Right then. That’s it from the coverage of this game. The action in the Indian T20 League will resume on 14th April 2022. It is a game which sees a contest between Rajasthan and Gujarat. The first ball will be at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But as you all know, you can join us early for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!

Mayank Agarwal, the captain of Punjab wins the MAN OF THE MATCH award. He says that it was a great game for them and they are happy to get those crucial points. Adds that the game had a lot of ups and downs but they won the crucial moments of the game. Tells that at the start of the tournament the message was quite clear for everyone in their team - they will be going hard with the bat. Says that they batted smartly in this game and ensured that they keep wickets in hand as well. Mentions that they had to change some of their strategies when Varma and Brevis were batting, but luckily they got in a couple of run outs. Says that they have the experience of Rabada but the other bowlers have been doing well for them.

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Odean Smith is in for a chat. He says that the last game made him stronger and he backed himself with the ball in this clash. Adds that they planned well for the batters and got some good suggestions from his teammates.

Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai captain, says that they played pretty well but it is just that the run outs cost them the game. Adds that they batted well for a majority of the innings but applauds Punjab's bowlers by saying that they held their nerves and executed their plans. Mentions that they will need to keep fighting hard. Says that Punjab got off to a great start with the bat and they put pressure on their bowlers. Adds that 199 was chaseable on this deck but Punjab bowled well at the backend.

This fixture was never short of entertainment! Punjab pick their third win of the season and move to the third spot in the points table. The bowlers took a harsh beating in patches, especially Rahul Chahar who went for 29 runs in his first over when Dewald Brevis took the attack to him. Punjab were right on top by picking two wickets inside the Powerplay but might've gotten derailed in the middle-overs. The fourth-wicket stand of Mumbai took the advantage away from Punjab. Although, Punjab regained their advantage in the death overs. Odean Smith was the highest wicket-taker with a four-fer but Arshdeep Singh and Kagiso Rabada deserve a lot of praise for their economical spells.

Uff! What a fight did the Mumbai lads put up. All the players gave it their all but could not get over the victory line. Mumbai came into this game with one less batter and they might regret making that decision. Rohit Sharma got his side off to a flyer but Mumbai could not continue on its merry way, as they lost the opening pair inside the Powerplay. The two youngsters stepped up for Mumbai. Dewald Brevis and Tilak Varma stitched a solid stand of 84 runs to get the chase back on track for Mumbai. The former was the aggressor but missed out on his maiden Indian T20 League half-ton. Suryakumar Yadav was a part of two run-outs at the crease, which ended up putting all the pressure on his shoulders. In the last over, Mumbai lost three wickets, as Odean Smith showed them the exit door.

Oh dear! What a game this was, filled with full of twists. The five-time champions have recorded their fifth loss on the trot. Agony for the men in blue. The pendulum swung hard in both directions but in the end, Punjab came out victorious to add on to the misery of Mumbai.

Commentary

We are back for Mumbai's reply! The players have made their way out to the middle. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan walk out to bat. Vaibhav Arora will start with the ball.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! Mumbai's batters have their task cut out if they are to register their first win of the season. They have a huge target in front of them but not to forget that the pitch is really good to bat on. Will Mumbai be able to cross the line, or will Punjab's bowlers keep them at bay? We shall find that shortly.

Mumbai struggled to make early inroads and they were put under the pump by Punjab's openers. Murugan Ashwin provided them with the much-needed breakthrough and they somehow managed to keep things tight in the middle for a while. Although, they conceded way too many runs in the last three overs and gave away their momentum. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout performer for them who gave away just 28 runs from 4 overs and grabbed the crucial wicket of Liam Livingstone. If not for Bumrah's fiery spell, Mumbai could well have been chasing somewhere around 220.

Punjab got off to a great start and the opening pair of Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan set a solid foundation for their power hitters to follow. Although, Mayank Agarwal got out after getting to his fifty, and Punjab lost some wickets in the middle overs. Dhawan carried on his merry way and he too got to his fifty in no time. They did lose Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone for a timid score but the partnership of 46 runs off just 16 balls between Shahrukh Khan and Jitesh Sharma drifted the momentum back in Punjab's favor.

47 runs off the last 3 overs and Punjab have ended the innings on a high! Some valuable contributions from Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan at the backend has ensured that Punjab post a big total on the board in spite of losing wickets in the middle overs. Mumbai pulled things back in the middle overs but would be disappointed to have leaked runs in the slog overs.

Commentary

We are back for Mumbai's reply! The players have made their way out to the middle. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan walk out to bat. Vaibhav Arora will start with the ball.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then! Mumbai's batters have their task cut out if they are to register their first win of the season. They have a huge target in front of them but not to forget that the pitch is really good to bat on. Will Mumbai be able to cross the line, or will Punjab's bowlers keep them at bay? We shall find that shortly.

Mumbai struggled to make early inroads and they were put under the pump by Punjab's openers. Murugan Ashwin provided them with the much-needed breakthrough and they somehow managed to keep things tight in the middle for a while. Although, they conceded way too many runs in the last three overs and gave away their momentum. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout performer for them who gave away just 28 runs from 4 overs and grabbed the crucial wicket of Liam Livingstone. If not for Bumrah's fiery spell, Mumbai could well have been chasing somewhere around 220.

Punjab got off to a great start and the opening pair of Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan set a solid foundation for their power hitters to follow. Although, Mayank Agarwal got out after getting to his fifty, and Punjab lost some wickets in the middle overs. Dhawan carried on his merry way and he too got to his fifty in no time. They did lose Jonny Bairstow and Liam Livingstone for a timid score but the partnership of 46 runs off just 16 balls between Shahrukh Khan and Jitesh Sharma drifted the momentum back in Punjab's favor.

47 runs off the last 3 overs and Punjab have ended the innings on a high! Some valuable contributions from Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan at the backend has ensured that Punjab post a big total on the board in spite of losing wickets in the middle overs. Mumbai pulled things back in the middle overs but would be disappointed to have leaked runs in the slog overs.

A low full toss, around off. Liam Livingstone drives it wide of the mid off fielder and manages only a single as Kieron Pollard cuts it off with a dive.

Strategic break! Punjab have a lot of power-hitters in their rank. They would hope to cross the 200-run mark and capitalize on the solid foundation built by their openers. Mumbai will be glad by picking up two wickets and would be hoping to restrict Punjab to a lower score than the predicted one. A great passage of play awaits. Jasprit Bumrah comes back into the attack. He will bowl his third over now.

Liam Livingstone is in for a quick chat. He says that he has been enjoying playing for Punjab so far and they have been playing well as a team. Adds that the squad that they have, can go out and smash sixes but they need to be a bit smarter. Tells that the coaches have been backing them and it has been a very good experience.

Mayank Agarwal, the Punjab captain is in for a chat. He says, they are actually not thinking much about the toss, not that he has won many tosses. Mentions they are sticking with the same 11. Says, Jonty Rhodes is a bundle of joy, and it is really nice to have him around in the camp.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says that they will bowl first. Adds that the pitch looks good and there will be some assistance for the pacers early on. Informs that they have one change, Mills comes in for Ramandeep. Mentions that they are in a tough situation and they will need to keep pushing hard.

Punjab (Unchanged playing XI) - Mayank Agarwal (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Odean Smith, Shahrukh Khan, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar.

Mumbai (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tymal Mills (In for Ramandeep Singh), Murugan Ashwin, Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi.

TOSS - Mumbai have won the toss and they have opted to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta is near the pitch. He says that it is a used pitch and this is the same wicket where over 200 runs were scored in the first innings of the first game. Tells that there is some grass covering and toss might not be a huge factor. Mentions that the bowlers will have pace and bounce on offer.

Rohit Sharma and his men will have a lot to prove in this fixture, as the 5-time champions have lost four games on the trot this season. They haven't been quite upto the mark and have failed to win those crucial moments in the game. Punjab on the other hand, have fared reasonably well so far and have won their alternate games. In spite of losing their previous game, they will be confident heading into this game, as they dominated that match for a majority of the part. Their skipper, Mayank Agarwal would be keen to make amends against Mumbai and hand them yet another defeat. Will Mumbai be able to fight against all odds and register their first win of the tournament? We shall find that soon. Stay tuned for toss and further updates.

Hello and a very warm welcome to the coverage of game number 23 between Mumbai and Punjab. We have witnessed some enthralling games so far in this competition, and this clash promises to be nothing short of a cracker, as Mumbai will be itching to get their first win of the tournament, while Punjab would be keen to get back to winning ways after losing a last-ball thriller against Gujarat.
