De Kock bad form continues. Departed for just 1 run. Deepak Hooda on fire 🔥
#PBKSvMI

Mohammad Shami really needs to perform well today. Much needed for him individually.

End of 10th Over. MI is on 49/2.
Ravi Bishnoi bowled really well for PBKS. Slow but careful start from MI. Currently, Punjab is on top.
But as long as Rohit on the crease, he can turn the game anytime for MI.

MI is batting very accurately and with a perfect plan. They know how to attack, when to attack and whom to attack on this very tricky pitch.

MI - MIDDLE ORDER. STRUGGLE.

MI - 131/6 in 20 Overs.
MI is definitely 10-15 runs short.
Actually because they didn't finished well. Otherwise 140-45 is very defendable on this pitch.
Anyways, PBKS should be happy with the total. But it's not gonna easy also. Have to be careful.
Interesting chase ahead.
