CHANDIGARH, India (AP) — Batter Ashutosh Sharma produced a brilliant rearguard knock but Punjab Kings still ran out of steam and lost to Mumbai Indians by nine runs in the Indian Premier League on Thursday.
Sharma scored 61 runs off 28 balls, including seven sixes, as he helped Punjab recover from 77-6 to mount a serious challenge before the hosts fell short.
Pacers Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah bowled Mumbai to victory, sharing six wickets in eight overs.
Suryakumar Yadav had earlier scored 78 off 53 balls to help Mumbai post 192-7 (20 overs). Punjab managed 183 in 19.1 overs, nevertheless a remarkable recovery from 49-5 at one stage.
Put into bat, Mumbai lost Ishan Kishan (8) early while his opening partner Rohit Sharma scored 36 off 25 balls.
Sharma hit three sixes as he paved the way for Yadav, who hit seven fours and three sixes in his second half-century of the season.
