6 runs and a wicket of Krunal Pandya in the final over from Mohammed Shami, summed up the bowling performance for KL Rahul and his team. Mumbai Indians finish at 131/6 after a promising start by Rohit Sharma. The five time champions once again, fail to go past the 150-run mark, as Punjab managed to choke the batsman giving away just 26 runs. Mumbai Indians didn't get off to a fast start, de Kock fell early. Next up, Ishan Kishan looked out of sorts in his 17 ball stay at the crease before losing his wicket. 

In the end the power hitters of MI could not provide the final flourish as the batsman struggled to get a defendable score. Earlier, Punjab Kings skipper KL Rahul won the toss and elected to bowl against Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Punjab has lost their last three games while defending champions Mumbai are also coming after a loss against Delhi Capitals. Punjab finally brought in leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi into the playing XI with another leggie Murugan Ashwin making way for him. Mumbai trusted their XI went with an unchanged XI.
