Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians had suffered a body blow even before the game as Pandya announced at the toss that Rohit Sharma will miss at least two games of the tournament, owing to the hamstring injury sustained during the fixture against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the same venue. With Quinton de Kock replacing the former Mumbai Indians skipper at the top, he brought up a 53-ball ton. The South African keeper-batter shared a 68-ball 122-run stand with Naman Dhir after Arshdeep Singh got the better of Ryan Rickelton (2) and Suryakumar Yadav (0) in consecutive deliveries.

Although Dhir made a half-century, the other batters could not come up with substantial contributions as the Punjab Kings limited the five-time champions to 195/6 in 20 overs. Arshdeep finished as the pick of the bowlers for the Punjab Kings with figures of 4-0-22-3. Marco Jansen and Shashank Singh finished with one wicket each. At the time of writing this, the Punjab Kings were only 10 runs away from victory to stay unbeaten in the tournament.
