Earlier, fine fifties by Shikhar Dhawan (70 off 50) and Mayank Agarwal (52 off 32) helped Punjab Kings post 198/5 against Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2022 match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, here on Wednesday.

Apart from Shikhar and Mayank`s brilliant hitting at the top, Jitesh Sharma (30 off 15) and Shahrukh Khan (15 off 6) gave late flourish to Punjab`s innings at lower down the order, after being invited to bat first.

For MI, Basil Thampi scalped two wickets while star pacer of team Jasprit Bumrah took one wicket. Put to bat first, Punjab Kings openers Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan gave a thumping start as they gathered 53 runs in just 5 overs.

PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal played aggressively as he smashed his half-century in 30 balls. In the 10th over, Murugan Ashwin gave Mumbai a much-needed breakthrough as he dismissed dangerous-looking Agarwal on 52 runs.

Jonny Bairstow then came to the crease to join hands with Dhawan and took the team`s total beyond the 100-run mark in 11th over. Bairstow with Dhawan hammered Mumbai bowlers all around the ground. Dhawan played a gem of a knock and notched up his half-century in balls 37 balls. MI`s bowler Jaydev Unadkat soon bowled out Bairstow leaving the team`s total at 127/2.
