MI vs PBKS: Mumbai Indians concede 214 runs in the first innings
Bowling first, after winning the toss, Mumbai Indians had a great start with the ball as they were all over the PBKS and removed a few early wickets. A staggering bowling performance saw them reducing the opposition to 83/4. With Piyush Chawla, Arjun Tendulkar, and Cameron Green doing the damage.

It seemed that they would reduce them to a low total. But after that, they had no answers to the onslaught by Sam Curran (55), Harpreet Bhatia (41), and Jitesh Sharma (25). They took MI bowlers to cleaners and smashed them all over the park. MI had no clue about what they do as they conceded 109 runs in the last 6 overs that saw PBKS posting 214 runs on the board.
