MI is back. Opening batsmen Lendl Simmons (71 in 56 balls) and Parthiv Patel (59 in 36 balls) helped Mumbai Indians (MI) register their third consecutive victory, beating Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by 23 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter here on Sunday.
Mohali: Opening batsmen Lendl Simmons (71 in 56 balls) and Parthiv Patel (59 in 36 balls) helped Mumbai Indians (MI) register their third consecutive victory, beating Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) by 23 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) encounter here on Sunday.
Riding on the 111-run stand between Simmons and Parthiv, MI posted a challenging total of 172/3 in 20 overs at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. In reply, KXIP were never ahead of the game and eventually they were restricted to 149/7 in 20 overs. David Miller (37-ball 43) and Murali Vijay (34-ball 39) tried their best but they were not enough.
Earlier, after Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat, Simmons and Parthiv rose to the task and gave their team a perfect start with a 111-run stand. Simmons and Parthiv played some delightful shots all around the carpet to set the ball rolling for the visitors.
Parthiv showed his intent in the fifth over bowled by surprising first-change bowler Mitchell Johnson. The Indian collected 17 runs from the Australian left-arm seamer's first over. Mumbai reached 51 in the first six overs of powerplay and the right-left combination duo continued to attack the Punjab bowlers.
