IPL 2023 | Twitter reacts as Arshdeep leads PBKS to 13-run victory with four-wicket haul

In match no. 31 of IPL 2023, Mumbai Indians opted to bowl first after winning the toss against Punjab Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. The partnership between Sam Curran and Harpreet Singh Bhatia for the fifth wicket was the main feature of the PBKS’ innings as they posted a total of 214/8. Curran smashed 55 runs from 29 balls while Bhatia scored 41 runs from 28 balls in the first innings. Cameron Green and Piyush Chawla picked a couple of wickets each for the hosts. 

Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav were the heroes in the chase for MI as they scored 67 and 57 runs respectively but their efforts went in vain in the end. Tim David was the lone warrior battling on the field with a cameo of 25 runs from 13 balls but Arshdeep Singh’s final over was too hot to handle for the MI batters. 

Arshdeep needed to defend 16 runs from six balls but he never allowed MI to get even close to a victory. The left-arm seamer was bowling full and straight aiming at the middle stump. Also, he dismissed two batters in the over breaking the middle stump into two on both occasions. The India seamer summed up the game with figures of 4-0-29-4 and was the chief architect of the win for the visitors.
