While the Shreyas Iyer-led side will be hoping to get into the final after earlier losing the direct berth, going down against Royals Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), MI too have their eyes set on record sixth title.
After PBKS skipper, Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl first, the game saw a delayed start with passing showers posing a threat to the do-or-die fixture. But after a little over two hours’ delay, the match resumed and the Hardik Pandya-led MI put up a commendable total of 203 on the board in their stipulated 20 overs.

There was no stopping for the Australian batter as he once again went for a four and a maximum to get 20 runs from the over and reach to 29* runs off just 12 deliveries after five overs.
