Prabhsimran Singh brought up his second half-century of the season as Punjab Kings aced another tall chase, this time against Mumbai Indians, to maintain its unbeaten run in the Indian Premier League.
As a packed Wankhede Stadium cheered for the home team on Thursday (April 16, 2026), the in-form Prabhsimran continued his dream run with an unbeaten 80 off 39 balls, forging a crucial 139-run partnership with captain Shreyas Iyer (66, 35b, 5×4, 4×6) for the third wicket to ensure that Punjab Kings chased down Mumbai Indians’ 195 for 6 and sealed a seven-wicket win.
After Quinton de Kock, stepping in for the injured Rohit Sharma, smashed an unbeaten 112 off 60 balls and Naman Dhir made the most of a reprieve to score a fifty and stitch a 122-run stand off 68 balls for the third wicket, helping Mumbai recover from 12 for 2, Punjab began briskly.
