Mumbai Indians continued to repair damage caused by a poor start to the season, winning their third game in a row to add to the mid-table pile-up of teams on eight or nine points. Kings XI Punjab, after a seventh defeat in nine matches, were all but out of the tournament, languishing at the bottom at least four points behind the rest.
Mumbai's push to a 23-run victory was begun by their openers Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons, who set up the score of 172 with a partnership of 111 in 12.2 overs. Though they did not have a strong finish to the innings because Kings XI's seamers found the blockhole regularly, Mumbai had done enough to challenge a struggling batting order. David Miller posed a brief threat but his form was nowhere near enough to overcome Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenaghan's nous at the death.
