Suryakumar Yadav scored a vital 57 as Mumbai Indians posted 184 for seven in their 20 overs against Punjab Kings in Match 69 of the Indian Premier League. In an innings where most batters failed to make a lasting impact, Yadav stood tall with a composed knock that came off 39 balls and included timely boundaries in the final overs. Put in to bat first, Mumbai had a brisk start through Ryan Rickelton, who scored 27 and hit three boundaries early. Captain Rohit Sharma struggled for fluency and managed 24 off 21 balls before falling to Harpreet Brar. Yadav walked in and found the boundary off his first ball. He built momentum in the middle overs, targeting Kyle Jamieson with two fours and a six in a 15-run over.
Rohit fell trying to attack Brar again, and Tilak Varma soon followed after edging one to third man. Will Jacks added 17 with some powerful strokes but could not carry on. Hardik Pandya, who scored 26, had a brief counterattack, including a six off Marco Jansen, before falling to the same bowler.
