Punjab Kings adopted a measured approach at the start, with Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh settling in cautiously. The scoring rate improved gradually as Arya struck boundaries against Jasprit Bumrah.

Suryansh Shedge failed to build on a promising start, and Shashank Singh was adjudged lbw by Corbin Bosch. Thakur added another wicket by dismissing Marco Jansen, completing his four-wicket haul.

Amid the collapse, Azmatullah Omarzai shifted the momentum with a counterattacking innings. He struck several sixes and boundaries to accelerate the scoring rate.

Omarzai made 38 runs off 17 deliveries before being dismissed while attempting another big shot.

In the closing overs, Vishnu Vinod chipped in with a valuable 15 runs. Xavier Bartlett remained unbeaten on 18, helping the team cross the 200-run mark.

For the Mumbai Indians, Shardul Thakur delivered the most impactful spell, finishing with figures of 4/39. Deepak Chahar claimed two wickets, while Bosch and Raj Angad Bawa took one each.
