IPL 2023 PBKS vs MI: Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings | Live Score, Result | News and updates | IPL 2023 Match No 46

ipl-2023-pbks-vs-mi-mumbai-indians-vs-punjab-kings-live-score-result-news-and-updates-ipl-2023-match-no-46

Five time winners Mumbai Indians locked horns against 2014 runners up Punjab Kings in a really entertaining and nail biting fixture at Mullanpur's Maharaja Yadavindra King Stadium and the Mumbai Indians edged out the home side in the final over thriller as the visitors won the game by nine runs. It was a must win game for both the teams as both of them were sitting at the eighth and the ninth spots but post MI?s win, they have moved to the seventh place with six points in seven games.







Punjab?s stand in skipper Sam Curran won the toss and asked MI to have a bat first and the visitors took the invitation with open hands as the duo of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma got involved in a stand of 18 runs for the opening wicket but Kagiso Rabada broke the partnership as he dismissed Ishan in the second over of the game. But Ishan?s dismissal didn't affect MI as the duo of Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit started their assault and ensured that Mumbai ended the powerplay on a good note.They stitched a partnership of 81 runs in 57 balls for the second wicket and hammered the Punjab Kings bowlers to all corners of the ground.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Rohit-Sharma-and-Hardik-Pandya.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 MI vs PBKS" class="wp-image-133092" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya | Pic; BCCI</figcaption></figure>



However, skipper Sam Curran had some other plans as he broke the partnership by dismissing Rohit Sharma in the 12th over as Harpreet Brar took a brilliant low catch at backward point. Post Rohit?s dismissal, the run rate of the visitors slowed down but Tilak Verma got his side back on track as he smashed two sixes off the bowling of Arshdeep Singh in the 15th over. Suryakumar Yadav looked set for a century but Sam Curran sent him back to the pavilion in the 17th over as Prabhsimran Singh took a good catch.



With three overs left, MI skipper Hardik Pandya decided to take matters in his own hands as he backed himself to play the role of the finisher but ended up picking out Harpreet Brar at mid wicket in the 18th over. Sam Curran decided to bowl the crucial 19th over himself and in trying to keep the ball away from the scoring arc of Tim David, he missed his line and length and ended up giving away 18 runs in the 19th over. To the relief of the home side, Harshal Patel kept the Mumbai batters quiet as he took the pace off the ball and hit the deck hard with his slower ones and ensured that the Hardik Pandya led team didn't go past the?200?runs?mark.



Punjab Kings had to chase down 193 runs if they wanted to take away those 2 points but the chase was a proper roller coaster ride as the Mumbai Indians bowling unit did almost everything right with the duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Gerald Coetzee combining with each other and sent four batters of the home side back to the pavilion within the powerplay. The Sam Curran led team looked in deep trouble but their batting depth helped them out and kept their side in the game.







Once again, the dynamic duo of Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh played the rescue act as they got involved in a partnership of 34 runs in 17 balls for the seventh wicket. The latter soaked in majority of the pressure and went after the bowling from the word go but Jasprit Bumrah came to the rescue of the Mumbai Indians as he sent Shashank back to the pavilion.

After the dismissal of Shashank, 25 year old Ashutosh Sharma took matters into his own hands and played one of the best IPL innings ever as he scored 61 runs in just 28 balls at a mammoth strike rate of 217.86. Just three overs were left for Punjab to chase down the total of 193 runs but Coetzee?s brilliant short pitched delivery outfoxed Ashutosh and his wicket proved to be the turning point of the game.



Rabada kept the Kings in the chase with a six off the bowling of Hardik Pandya but an unnecessary second run made him lose his wicket as he fell short of the crease and Mumbai won the game?by?nine?runs.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.

On Thursday morning, the scene outside New Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium was nothing short of extraordinary. A massive crowd had gathered well before the match, eager to witness Kohli in action.
