That's all from us folks! Hope you enjoyed this cracking performance from Mumbai. Until next time then ...

Here's what the players had to say -

Rohit Sharma | MI Captain: Was a great win. We didn't start really well, but we always knew with the kind of attack Punjab had we wanted to capitalize. Those two guys they back themselves to get the runs, it's nice to have them in form as well. It wasn't going to be easy with the ball against KXIP batting line-up. We knew we had to get early wickets and everything went to plan, credit to the bowlers. The last game the execution wasn't exactly right at the death with the ball. So we discussed and wanted to improve. I haven't played enough with Boult and Pattinson, so it's difficult to get them on the same page. They have now got an idea of what I need from them and I got to know them better too.

Kieron Pollard | Player of the Match: Feels good. We were on the losing side last game, so we want to come out on the right side today. It's about what's there in front of you. Look at the bowlers and see how many you want to get, 15 off the over and then you try to go hard. Today he had to come and swing and he showed his prowess. We know sky is the limit in the last 4 overs.

Mayank Agarwal: We are not competing for the cap, we are just looking to play some good cricket. It doesn't matter who gets the runs, be it Rahul, Maxwell, Pooran or anyone else. Runs in the international circuit has given me a lot of confidence. In the lockdown, I sat down and looked on how things will work in the T20 template. The thought is just about getting into great positions.

KL Rahul, KXIP captain: Obviously disappointing. Looking back, we could've been three wins out of four. This game, we made some mistakes. Important we come back stronger. Wicket looked good with the new ball. Don't know if it slowed up after that. Another bowling option would be nice - an all-rounder option who can bat and bowl well. Will be sitting with the coaches to decide if we want to play an extra bowler. Until and unless that orange cap stays with Kings XI I'm happy. He's (Agarwal) worked very hard and deserves that cap. I'm sure I'll take it off him soon.

MI win by 48 runs

Rohit, Pollard and Hardik produced the goods with the bat while Chahar, Krunal, Bumrah and Pattinson dismantled KXIP without much fuss. Rahul and Mayank gave the side a brisk start but once Bumrah struck early, there was no stopping MI. Pooran did threaten for a bit but it wasn't enough to take the side close. All MI bowlers chipped in with wickets as the side bagged their second win.

KXIP have now lost three games and this is their first bad game. It's been tough for them so far.

Quick strikes - Neesham and Sarfaraz Khan fall in quick succession. The match is done and dusted. No miracles tonight.

Five down

Maxwell's scratchy innings comes to an end. Tried to slog against the spin against Chahar and gives a simple catch to deep midwicket.

KXIP 109 for 5








14.26 KXIP 13.70 MI 12.14 MI 11.60 RR 9.93 CSK 9.38 SRH 9.33 DC 9.20 KKR





A team that should be sitting on 6/6 points, against one that came miraculously close to being 4/6 - instead they are both on two. The way the table is bunched together, you can slide horribly down before you know it - makes this a quietly vital contest.
