Sachin Tendulkar is the mentor of the Mumbai team and Jonty Rhodes is the fielding coach of the Punjab team. The men in red had a great match as they defeated the five-time champions by 12 runs. Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan scored half-centuries to help Punjab set a target of 199 runs for Mumbai to chase down. In return, Mumbai did not have the best start as they lost Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan early. Dewald Brevis, Tilak Varma, and Suryakumar Yadav played good innings but that were not enough for Mumbai.

Meanwhile, Punjab has won three out of their five games and stands third in the points table. Mumbai, on the other hand, has played five games, losing all of them. They are currently at the bottom of the table. Mumbai fans are disappointed but the team has been in this situation before but have bounced backed to win the title. Mumbai would hope for a similar miracle this time too. However, their team lacks the quality of the previous Mumbai teams.

Mumbai plays their next game against Lucknow on 16th of April. Punjab will play their next game against Hyderabad on the 17th of April.
