PBKS vs MI: On Wednesday, May 3, at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, the Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings and the five-time champion Mumbai Indians squared off in the 46th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.
Shikhar Dhawan and Matt Short tried to settle the innings after Prabhsimran Singh was lost early in the first innings. The squad reached a huge total of 214/3 because of the outstanding hits of Liam Livingstone (82 off 42) and Jitesh Sharma (49 off 27), who relieved the burden on them with a 119-run partnership.
The Mumbai Indians were rendered helpless by Jitesh Sharma’s blitzkrieg in the 13th over of the first innings. Jofra Archer, a renowned English pacer, entered the game to bowl the over and delivered a no-ball with his first delivery. In the following four balls, while Sharma was on strike, he hit Archer for three fours while also bowling a wide ball. The final ball of the 13th over, which struck Jitesh’s thigh pad and dribbled away for four leg-byes, was when Archer gave up yet another boundary.
The weight instantly fell on the shoulders of the five-time champions after giving up 21 runs in the first over. The situation worsened for Archer, though, as Livingstone hammered him for three straight sixes, resulting in a staggering 27-run loss in the 19th over. Having let up 56 runs in his four overs, the 28-year-old had a dismal game.
Punjab Kings, meanwhile, entered this match fresh off of an outstanding victory over the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings as they successfully chased down a 201-run mark to record their fifth victory. With 10 points after nine games, they are presently in sixth place in the IPL points standings. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, defeated Rajasthan Royals at home by six wickets and are now ranked seventh in the standings with eight points after just as many games.
