Tight bowling and athletic fielding - plus Yusuf Abdulla (4-0-19-2) staying calm in the pressurecooker last over when 12 were needed - allowed Punjab to defend a modest total against Mumbai, whose later batsmen were again found wanting after the early departures of Jayasuriya (first ball) and Tendulkar (for one).
