Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav both had blazing half-centuries as Mumbai Indians defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. Their efforts helped Mumbai Indians chase down 215 runs.
at the second match of the day at Mohali, Kishan (75) and Suryakumar (66) put on an important third-wicket stand of 116 before Tim David and Tilak Varma led the side home with seven balls to spare. In all, the partnership was worth 116 runs.
David, who was the top player for his team in the match before this one, scored 19 as he and Varma combined for an undefeated partnership of 38 while playing 10-ball cricket. Varma hit the winning six during his 10-ball innings and finished with 26.
When we first began playing the T20 format, a winning score of 140–150 was considered acceptable. But take a look at this one,” the captain of the Mumbai team, Rohit Sharma, said.
In addition, adding one more portion of batter makes a significant impact. Not only to us, but to everyone in the IPL as well. I just looked, and it looks that the overall average score for this IPL is 180.
The batting performance by Mumbai surpassed an undefeated 82 scored by Punjab’s Liam Livingstone and increased the team’s prospects of advancing to the play-offs. Following their win over Punjab, Mumbai is now in sixth place in the 10-team table, which is led by the holders, the Gujarat Titans.
In the first over of Mumbai’s chase, Rohit was out without scoring, and then in the second over, impact replacement Nathan Ellis sent back fellow Australian Cameron Green for 23. The left-handed Kishan, who was voted man of the match, and Suryakumar, who has just regained form after getting off to a poor start this season, turned the match around with a flurry of fours and sixes, which led to both being chosen man of the match.
Suryakumar reached his second fifty in a row in just 23 balls off of Sam Curran, an expensive recruit from England for Punjab, by hitting two sixes and two fours off of him.
