Mumbai vs Punjab: Fans react to Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai's impressive win in Abu Dhabi

After a thriller vs Bangalore, Mumbai steied ship with some consistent cricket and a win over Punjab this week. Put in to bat first, Mumbai started off slowly and were two down early in powerplay. However, Rohit Sharma's excellent innings combined with Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard’s quickfire cameos ensured Mumbai got to a defendable total. Ishan Kishan was in good touch last game, however, his performance tonight was more on patchy side as he struggled to get going.

Punjab slipped up in ir decision making and were left without an experienced bowler for ir death overs. Jimmy Neesham and Gowtham were left to bowl three overs with Pollard and Pandya at crease and pair me merry as y helped Mumbai cruise to a total of 191.

Going into chase, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal were in great form, and re was hope that y would help team complete chase. Skipper KL Rahul & Mayank Agarwal did get off to a great start. For fifth over Rohit Sharma introduced Bumrah, who sent in-form Mayank Agarwal packing.

From or end, very next over Karun Nair walked back without scoring and put more pressure on batting that was to come, and within a matter of a couple of overs Punjab found mselves in a situation y would t have wanted to be at this st.
