Mayhem in Mullanpur.
Just when you thought the Kings’ situation couldn’t get any worse, it does. Coetzee hits one short at 150kph, and Livingstone misses a pull to the bowler’s left. He will not drop that dolly, and the Punjab Kings are 14/4.

Just look at how the first three overs went!

Gopal joins the fun!

Kings lose half their team in 7 overs. Shreyas Gopal, the legspinner who replaced Piyush Chawla in this setup a few games ago, bowls a superb caught-and-bowled to dismiss Harpreet Bhatia.

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya has bowled the sixth and eighth overs.

Boom, boom Bumrrrrrah!

There will be no nonsense tonight from Mumbai when it comes to Jasprit Bumrah.

He shares the fresh ball tonight and just needs four balls to strike. Gets a yorker on franchise debutant Rilee Rossouw, leaving his stumps in disarray.

Strikes again off the final ball of the over, with Curran nicking him down the leg side. This time, Ishan Kishan helped convince MI to review.

Punjab Kings score 14/3 in two overs, and impact player Harpreet Bhatia joins Liam Livingstone.

Coetzee made amends.

Gerald Coetzee grabs the fresh ball.

However, he begins out horribly. Curran smashed the first ball for four, and the next five deliveries were wide.

However, Coetzee has a propensity of making great returns when under pressure with the ball. Gets a ball to go large on Prabhsimran, but his attempted pull is gloved to Kishan on the leg side. Prabhsimran fails to score on his first ball, and Mumbai has already struck! 10 for 1 in 0.3 overs.
