Finishes with a full toss at 138kph. It's at thigh-height and Archer looks to whack it away. Gets it to long-off
PBKS vs MI, 31st Match at Mumbai, IPL, Apr 22 2023 - Match Result
We've had different styles of entertainment on the Saturday double header. The first saw a winding, nervy turnaround win for the defending champions Gujarat Titans against Lucknow Super Giants and a high-scoring game here saw 25 sixes hit. Hope you enjoyed it all. You can check out Hemant's report here. Lots of content gushing in from the IPL on ESPNcricinfo, check it out. Double header coming up tomorrow as well, join us then. Goodbye for now from me, Ekanth, and our scorers Chandan Duorah and Ranjith P.
KipEetSimpul: "Batting 1st on belters may be a better strategy for teams with strong batting line-ups and weaker bowling squads...the CSKvRCB and PKvMI games are the latest examples "
Sam Curran, PBKS Captain is the POTM: Special win. Amazing ground, played many games with different sides. Great to get the win. Don't think I should be getting the award, with the way our pacers finished the match, Arshdeep and Nathan were incredible and the spinners bowled well. When I went in to bat, I knew I had to give myself a chance. In the previous games, I've looked to go big a little too early, reflected on that. But we got a long line-up and we saw Jitesh went bang-bang and we know he's got that. He's a massive player and we just have to take our responsibility as players come back from injuries. (On captaincy) Two from three, I think we can go back to Shikhar. Great experience, the coaches and the local guys are helping me through. Bayliss, Haddin and Co have created a good, relaxed environment. We've won a few early games which helps.
Afeef: "Not often that Livingstone hits a big six and gets upstaged thrice in the same match by others!"
Mustafa Moudi : "After that 31 Expensive Over, Yash Dayal was dropped and has not chances of return. Can this happed to Arjun Tendulkar ??" Could be, hard not to feel for Arjun as was the case with Dayal. But very much a possibility.
Arshdeep Singh: Feels good whenever I take wickets, the win makes the feeling better. Before IPL, I changed my run-up and it helped me with avoiding no-balls. The rhythm is nice and I'm enjoying my cricket right now. (Mindset) Calmness comes naturally, my heart rate doesn't even go up to 120 (laughs)
Rohit Sharma, MI Captain: We had some errors in the field but not gonna look too much into that. Will tell the boys to keep our heads high, we've won and lost three. Lots of time left in the tournament, we need to stay in the game and competition. Quite happy with Green and SKY's batting, they kept us in the game till the end. Credit to Arshdeep for his bowling, not our day today but we gave a good fight.
Today's match was in the action/thriller genre. There was no messing about. Kings had an innings of two contrasting halves with the bat. In the chase, it was a tug of war. Lest we forget, Arshdeep got a wicket with the new ball. But after Kishan was dismissed, Green and Rohit combined to put on a 76-run stand. They took 50 balls but after Livingstone removed Rohit, Green and SKY put on 75 off just 36. The slower balls worked better than the pace-on ones but the fours and sixes weren't few or far between. Curran, Chahar, Ellis and Livingstone all went over 10 but Arshdeep's death bowling won it for the visitors.
11:22pm: Arshdeep Singh is getting hugs from everywhere and boy does he deserve them. Mumbai were in the contest, they were even ahead at some points. Rohit, Green, SKY and David kept the momentum going but Arshdeep's magic: 11 for 3 in his last two overs, helped Kings clinch the six fest.
RBS: "Stump Breaker Singh "
Afrath: "Stumps dead in death bowling "
Karthik: "David should have refused the single"
Can Arshdeep finish with a five-for
Another yorker beats bat but this 137kph ball is outside off. Arshdeep has his hands over his head but that was a brilliant ball. Archer tried jamming it towards point and missed it
Rakesh Prattipa: "This IPL has produced some excellent final overs from fast bowlers. This is right up there. Arshdeep , take a bow." 15 needed off 2, mathematically impossible unless there are extras. Archer to face Arshdeep on a hat-trick
Praveen : "Arshdeep, Woooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!"
Azweer : "Was that Shoaib Akthar in disguise..!!"
The new stump is broken as well, Arshdeep Singh is creating expenses of the right kind for Punjab Kings. Wadhera charged before the ball was delivered, missed the slog, broke the stumps despite the slight deflection off the pad.
Behrendorff has been subbed out, Nehal Wadhera gets his time to shine
The umpires get a new stump.
Rajkumar Lingav: "18th over - When they had a long conversion, SKY perished. 20th over - Long conversation, dot balls and Thilak perished. Game changing!"
Middle stump broken! Came in with the angle, landed on a full length, Tilak looked to slog over midwicket. He missed it and the stump was broken one fourth of the way up. Arshdeep pumps the air, what commendable bowling under pressure!
Tilak premeditates and it costs him. He went on one knee and Arshdeep went into the pitch. Arshdeep looked to slog sweep, tried to rise with the bounce but couldn't. MI review for a wide but that's going over leg stump and is a fair ball
Long discussions happening, the crowd are in but the cheers are tense almost
Low full toss outside off is driven to deep cover
Charan: "Super over anyone ?" 16 needed off the last over. Arshdeep to bowl
Afrath: "IPL at his best."
Sree: "Slippery field! "
Slot outside off, Tilak is on one knee and sweeps. Goes along the ground. Fielder runs across and fumbles, they take two. Replays show Liam ran and slid to the right from deep-mid, he palmed the ball past long-on, also running across and the ball went behind the latter. Just two nonetheless
18 needed off 7, a potential free hit.
Jishnu: "Wow....what is happening, earlier Livingston with 102m six , then Green with 108 m six , now Tim David with 114m six."
Length outside off at 107kph, David looks to belt it. Doesn't middle it, goes to deep cover
Overthrow taken, Curran has a chat with the umpire and Tilak about something. The ball hit the stumps at the non-striker's end and Ellis tried running across to stop it. Might have had Tilak in the way. Was a full ball that was driven down the pitch
Kishkindha: "Home side gets beaten again for the second consecutive time today? A plausible scenario!"
As low as full tosses get at 135kph. Flicked to deep midwicket
Slogged into space! Full toss at the top of the pad, David's front leg took a step in front and he whipped it 114 metres far. Over midwicket for a mighty six
Pulls the shortish ball to the right of deep midwicket, a slight fumble but the ball falls in front. Two taken
mj: "Matter of just 3 sixes and 4 fours..MI can do it" Ellis, Curran and Arshdeep have an over left for the visitors. Ellis will bowl the 19th. 31 needed off 12
Full outside off, drills past the bowler. Long-on stops it but David will retain strike
Low full toss around off, flicked to deep midwicket
Saksham: "All on Tim David now!" Tilak is in and he's good too. 33 off 14 needed, considering how tall the ask was at certain points of the innings, this isn't impossible. But Kings still have an upper hand
Azweer : "A half Helicopter lands in the palms of Taide."
Flick finds mdwicket. Low full toss, SKY went across and whipped it across, hit with power but didn't manage to Taide around head-height. Sharp catch to end a 26-ball 57. Brilliant over after conceding the six off the first ball. SKY gets a standing ovation from his team-mates, Arshdeep is delighted with the catch.
Long meeting among the PBKS fielders. Arshdeep continues from around
Low full toss on off stump, driven to long-off. Two good balls in a row
Yorker outside off, David misses the cover drive and nods to acknowledge how good a ball that was
Back over the wicket
Darshan S: "Hoping Tim David lands a few punches in this chase. We haven't really seen him take off so far this IPL. "
Full toss at 138kph is flicked. David was standing just outside off, his back leg was bent and the ball was on the top of the knee roll. Swiped and got full connection
Around
Azweer : "Time for some SKY scrappers..."
Flickosaurus brings about an 87-metre six. SKY was charging, got a length ball and managed to help it along while adding power with a whip. Over backward square to bring the equation down to 40 off 18
Full on middle, driven to long-on
