PBKS vs MI, 46th Match at Mohali, IPL, May 03 2023 - Match Result

11.38pm That will be all from Mohali today. Another 200-plus score chased down, and with some disdain! More IPL action tomorrow, with Sunrisers Hyderabad facing Kolkata Knight Riders. Will Brook fire against KKR again? You can read about that and more in Shashank Kishore's preview. Today's report will be up soon as well, as well as other pieces on today's game if you are looking for some nigh-time reading. For now, it's me, Abhimanyu, signing off on behalf of Himanshu, Venkat and everyone else at ESPNcricinfo.

Ishan Kishan is the player of the match: "The wicket was too good to bat on and I kept for 20 overs so I knew how the wicket was playing. And when you are chasing you need to keep the momentum. Whenever it was in the arc I was going to go for it. I know he was swinging the ball pretty well so I thought about stepping out to him. That was the plan and the message from the coach as well. To keep the momentum going and watch the ball and play your own game. I think it doesn't matter when you are chasing and they have a good bowling attack. You don't want to take it to the last over. You want to finish it off as quickly as possible so it's easier for the newer batsmen. Fitness is very important. There are so many senior players who have set the examples for us. So we keep training hard even if it means working out during games. But also I get great food at home, so credit goes to my mom."

MI captain, Rohit Sharma: "When we started T20 format, 140-150 was a winning score. But look at this one. Plus one extra batter makes a huge difference as well. Not just to us but across the IPL. I just checked that the average score this IPL is 180. Look he has been doing that for the last couple of years. Batted brilliantly. To play behind the wicket, that's his strength and he utilised it really well. Surya and Kishan batted brilliantly and good finish by Tim and Tilak. Before the start of the season we spoke about how we want to play our cricket. With the bat, we just wanted to go out there and play fearlessly and not worry about the results. Often you think about the results you move away from your plans. But we talked right at the start that we want to be fearless. [Kishan] is a little man but he has got a lot of power. He practices those shots that we saw today. So what matters is what he does off the field and it comes off on the field. It is something that we need to look at, certain options we need to take in the middle of the overs, how to shut off overs. It's been three or four games where we have conceded 200 so we need to find those options in the middle."

11.25pm Time for the presentation ceremony

Sri: "Looks like that one point each that LSG and CSK garnered today gets a lot of significance to decide on the qualifiers. The table is so stacked up with most teams having 5 wins at this stage." Yes, with this win, MI join PBKS and two other teams at 10 points in the table so far.

Aryann: "Could've been the most expensive spell in IPL history had Arshdeep got a chance to bowl that last ball and it went for a six. Luckily for Arshdeep, Thampi's 70 run record stays intact"

Suryakumar Yadav: Really happy that we ended up on the winning side but at the same time I felt that I should have finished the game again like the last time. When their innings felt, we knew we had to bat with positive intent. I just wanted to give support to Kishan who was playing with a good strike rate. I always prepare for these situations, if I have to get 12 or 14 runs an over, what are the shots I can play? So when I am sitting at the innings break or when the batters before me are batting that's what I think about. [On targeting certain bowlers] Till now I haven't thought about it. Unless it's the second-last or 17th or 18th over. My job today was just to support Kishan who was batting well. [On his partnership with Kishan] We reversed our role tonight. I actually don't have that power game. I like to time the ball and find gaps. But really happy that partnership was in a winning cause."

PBKS captain, Shikhar Dhawan: "We started off quite well and thought that was a very good total but unfortunately we could not defend it. I feel that, of course Rishi bowled really well, but from the other end, we bowled outside the off stump quite a bit and we should have bowled on off in the powerplay. And then Ishan and Surya just took the game away. We should have bowled tighter lines. Because we saw the wicket and saw it's a very good wicket, we thought change of pace will work a lot and I feel Nathan bowled really well but other bowlers didn't step up today. There was dew on the field and the wicket got a bit better, I felt that if one spinner gets hit then it gets hard to contain runs."

11.10pm Punjab Kings may have thought they had done enough when they put 214 on the board and then dismissed Rohit Sharma in the the first over. Green's wicket at the end of the powerplay would have also given them a boost. But Suryakumar Yadav came in he joined Ishan Kishan as the two ran away with the game with a partnership of more than 100 runs. When they fell in quick succession, David and Tilak Varma in particular kept up the attack and finished the chase with seven deliveries to go. Arshdeep was uncharacteristically expensive and Kings did not bowl out Harpreet Brar or Rahul Chahar. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians will be very happy with the kind of form being shown by Suryakumar Yadav, who seems to have wiped off any early-season jitters he may have had, with an innings laced with some of his trademark innovation.

Vishal Pawar: "Tilak has his revenge on Arshdeep for that first ball stump break in the previous game and in a very brutal way possible!"

Arun Prakash: "Tim and Tilak are in a hurry! May be they are eyeing on NRR!" They have all looked in a hurry today!

12 needed off the last two overs. It's run-a-ball now for them

The Goan: "No score is safe anymore. This is anarchy!" Say that to Lucknow Super Giants

MI need just 21 off the last three

Tilak Varma is the new batter out in the middle

Vysakh: "The last dot ball before the SKY wicket (15.1) was at 10.1"
