Right then! We have had a pretty one-sided game as Mumbai have been dominant and have not let Punjab crawl back into the game at any point. Mumbai have played well and they will look to take this forward when they play their next game in Sharjah and Punjab will be disappointed as they have played well but have just won one single game out of their three games and they will want to bounce back in their next encounter. The action continues on Friday, 2nd October 2020 as Chennai and Hyderabad will battle it out and it will begin at 1930 IST. Until then, take care and cheers! 

The Man of the Match is Kieron Pollard. He starts off by saying that it feels good and they were on the losing side last game and so they wanted to come out and be on the right side of the result. Adds that he tries to pick his bowlers and try to look for 15 runs and more and he looks to go hard. Praises Hardik Pandya as it is good to see him strike the ball well and he had to come out today and swing and he showed his prowess. Talking about their next game in Sharjah, he says that the boundaries are small and they are looking forward to it but they will have to come out and execute with the ball really well. Wants to focus on the next game and try to gain 2 points for the team.

Rohit Sharma says it is a great win, they did not start well but they knew they could make up at the back end. They did most of the things right, not initially but overall. States Pollard and Pandya back themselves to score quickly towards the end and it is good to have them in form. Further adds they have a balanced side and they are happy with the way they are playing. Also says they needed early wickets, they had plans and they did well to execute it. Ends by saying there was no execution in the last game, they had a discussion, they had a different plan as it was a different opposition and it went well.

Mayank Agarwal is in for a chat! Starts off by saying that he and Rahul are not competing against each other for the Orange cap and they are just looking to play good cricket and help the team. Adds that runs in the international circuit have given him confidence and he has worked in the lockdown on improving his T20 game. States that he is hitting the ball very well and his thought is to get into good positions. 

The skipper of Punjab, KL Rahul starts off by saying that it is disappointing that they haven't won more games and thinks that this is one of those games where they haven't bowled or batted well and it is important to come back stronger. States that the wicket looked good with the new ball and he is not sure if it slowed up after that. Says that it is important to carry on their form. Adds that it would have been great to have an all rounder who bats and bowls well. Says that he has to sit with the coaching staff and decide if they want to field an extra bowler. On his orange cap battle with Mayank Agarwal, he says that he will be happy as long as the cap stays in the team of Punjab and adds that Agarwal has worked hard and he deserves the cap but that he will take it off him very soon.

The Mumbai bowing was too good! The first three overs weren't that great but after that, they were brilliant. Bumrah, Krunal, Chahar and Pattinson really had an impressive night. Overall, they were excellent and can be really pleased with their team effort.

A thumping win for Mumbai then! To be honest, it is their batters who set it up. Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and a cameo from Pandya meant they finished with a total which was well above par and chasing that, Punjab needed a good start but they did not get one. Also, they kept losing wickets after that on regular intervals. Someone from the top four needed to go big but that was not the case. Pooran did seem like he was finding his touch but departed when his team needed him to continue. Maxwell also has not been at his best in this tournament. Can't blame Neesham, Sarfaraz or the others as by the time they came in, the target was almost out of reach.
