Chasing 185, PBKS openers started aggressively. Youngster Priyansh Arya dazzled with a sensational 62 off 35 balls, smashing 9 fours and 2 sixes, while Josh Inglis played a match-defining knock of 73 off 42 deliveries, peppered with 9 boundaries and 3 maximums. Captain Shreyas Iyer stayed unbeaten on 26 off 16, guiding his team home comfortably in 18.3 overs.

For MI, Mitchell Santner was the pick of the bowlers, claiming 2 wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah bowled economically, conceding just 23 runs in 4 overs. However, the lack of support from other bowlers proved costly as PBKS chased down the target with ease.

With this victory, Punjab Kings not only sealed the game but also ensured their spot in the Top 2 of the points table, securing a crucial advantage heading into the playoffs
