During the 50th match of the 11th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Mumbai, Kings XI Punjab’s Andrew Tye picked up three wickets to tear apart Mumbai Indians’ top order.
Earlier Ravichandran Ashwin, captain of Kings XI Punjab, had won the toss and chose to field. Kings XI Punjab made two changes to their middle order, bringing in Yuvraj Singh and Manoj Tiwary in place of Karun Nair and Mayank Agarwal. On the other hand, Mumbai Indians made a solitary change into their playing eleven, bringing in Kieron Pollard in place of JP Duminy.
Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav brought his form to his home ground, scoring 21 runs off the third over of the innings bowled by Ankit Rajpoot. As a result of which, the hosts had scored 37 runs in three overs.
