IPL 2026: Prabhsimran, Omarzai Power Punjab Kings To 200 Despite Shardul’s Four-fer Against Mumbai Indians
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium: Opener Prabhsimran Singh struck a fluent half-century while Azmatullah Omarzai provided late fireworks with a quickfire 38 as Punjab Kings posted a competitive 200/8 in 20 overs against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala on Thursday. Despite Punjab crossing the 200-run mark, Mumbai all-rounder Shardul Thakur impressed with an excellent four-wicket haul.
After being asked to bat first, Punjab Kings made a cautious start with openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh taking time to settle in. The pair collected only seven runs from the opening over before Priyansh attacked Jasprit Bumrah with two boundaries in the second over.
Deepak Chahar kept things tight from one end, but Priyansh continued to find boundaries against Bumrah. Prabhsimran then shifted gears in the fifth over, smashing three fours off Shardul Thakur to put pressure back on Mumbai.
