**Shreyas Gopal
Overall, it was a clinical performance by Punjab Kings, who outplayed Mumbai Indians in all departments. Their bowlers did well to restrict MI despite a fiery innings from Suryakumar Yadav, and the batting unit, led by Josh Inglis, chased down the target with composure and power. For Mumbai, the defeat adds pressure as the league stage nears its end, with their playoff hopes now hanging by a thread. On the other hand, Punjab’s confidence will be soaring as they inch closer to securing a spot in the top four.
