Ashwani Kumar: Suryakumar Yadav shines again as MI reach 184 after 20 overs
Earlier, Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to field first. Suryakumar Yadav starred again for MI, with 57 off 39 balls. All other MI batters got off to a start, but could not make a substantial score. The PBKS bowlers kept things tight for a large part of the innings.
“It was a bit challenging. It looked a bit sticky with the pacers, spinners it was fine. I feel we fell 10-15 runs short with the way Hardik and Naman actually batted from the get go. Pace off and good seam up deliveries would be a challenge for batters. We have a good score for this wicket, it will be a challenge,” Yadav said at the break via Cricbuzz.
At the time of writing, PBKS were 75/1 after eight overs with Priyansh Arya and Josh Inglis at the crease.
