Kings XI Punjab won the match against Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets with 8 balls to spare at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Saturday. Their chase was spearheaded by a controlled innings from KL Rahul, who remained unbeaten on 71, and some aggressive cameos from Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal. Earlier, Mumbai Indians had put up a score of 176/7 in their 20 overs. They had gotten off to a great start, propelled by Quinton de Kock’s 39-ball 60. The away team’s scoring rate fell down considerably in the middle overs, and Hardik Pandya’s 19-ball 31 helped them to put up a respectable total. After a last-ball win against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday, Mumbai Indians were looking to continue the winning momentum against controversy-hit Kings XI Punjab in the ninth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.
