Green took the second wicket at the score of 23.
Liam Livingstone scored an unbeaten 82 while Jitesh Sharma scored an unbeaten 49 to help PBKS post a mammoth 214/3 against Mumbai Indians in Mohali. Together they stitched an unbroken century partnership for the third wicket to take PBKS in a big way.
Piyush Chawla got rid of Matthew Short on 27 and Shikhar Dhawan on 30 had fueled PBKS’s progress.
Dhawan and Short added 49 runs for the second wicket but Chawla broke their partnership with a googly.
PBKS lost the early wicket of Prabhasimran Singh, who was caught by Arshad Khan for 9 before Matthew Short and Dhawan repaired the damage.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to field first in Mohali. They have one change with the injured Riley Meredith replacing Akash Madhwal. PBKS have brought back Nathan Ellis and Matthew Short and left out Sikandar Raza and Kagiso Rabada.
The last time these two teams faced each other in IPL 2023, they scored more than 400 runs in 40 overs. Punjab Kings posted a mammoth 214/8 at the Wankhede Stadium with Sam Curran hitting a blistering half-century before Arshdeep Singh took four wickets. Mumbai Indians came close but eventually finished on 201/6, with Suryakumar Yadav scoring a blistering half-century.
Both the teams are currently in the bottom half of the points table and every point counts as the teams start gearing up for the playoff run as they enter the next phase of the tournament.
A win tonight in Mohali can propel PBKS into the top four. MI can take their tally to 10 points and improve their chances of staying in contention to finish in the top four.
It is difficult to pick a clear favorite among the two considering how both have performed so far. Both, however, came into this contest chasing 200-plus targets in their previous matches.
PBKS chased down 201 against Chennai Super Kings while MI scored 213 thanks to death overs heroics from Tim David, who smashed three consecutive sixes in the final over.
