Bengaluru, Oct. 1: The Mumbai Indians notched up their second win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season as they beat the Kings XI Punjab by 48 runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Thursday.
After being put into bat, the defending champions posted a solid total of 191. After posting a strong total, the Mumbai Indians bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, clicked as they picked up regular wickets, to notch up their second win of the season in a convincing fashion.
Rohit Sharma's classy 70 off 45 set up the Mumbai innings after Sheldon Cottrell and Mohammed Shami struck early to remove Quinton de Kock for zero and the hard-hitting Suryakumar Yadav for just 10 runs. Though skipper Rohit was out in the middle, the MI's scoreboard ticked slowly as they maintained a run rate of just 6. But following Ishan Kishan's (28 off 32), the Mumbai team turned around the innings to put the challenging total.
