Mumbai Indians managed 62 runs off the final three overs where all-rounders Kieron Pollard smashed 67* runs in 23 balls and Hardik Pandya scored 30* off 11 against Kings XI Punjab.

Pollard said, “We know sky is the limit in the last four overs.” After the captain Rohit Sharma laid the foundation with a blitzy 45-ball 70, Pollard and Pandya’s continuous big hits lifted Mumbai Indians to 191 for four from 83 for three in the 14th over.

In reply, Mumbai restricted Punjab within 143 for eight. Pollard, who won the Man of the Match award, said: "It''s about what''s there in front of you. Look at the bowlers and see how many you want to get, 15 off the over and then you try to go hard. Today Hardik had to come and swing and he showed his prowess. We know sky is the limit in the last four overs."

Meanwhile, the winning captain Rohit Sharma said that the team tried to score more in the death bowling of Punjab.

"It was a great win. We didn''t start really well, but we always knew with the kind of attack Punjab had we wanted to capitalise," he said.

However, Punjab have KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal in their team who are in great form and already smashed centuries in the IPL 2020. However, Rohit said that it wasn't easy to bowl them against their batting line-up as well.

"We knew we had to get early wickets and everything went to plan, credit to the bowlers. The last game the execution wasn''t exactly right at the death with the ball (MI lost a super over to RCB). So we discussed and wanted to improve," he said.
