MI 136-3 (14 Ovs) vs PBKS | SCORECARD

Shashank Singh is brought into the attack as Naman Dhir brings up a well-compiled fifty with a single to long-on. He raises his bat to acknowledge a fine knock.

Promoted up the order after the early wickets, Dhir played the more attacking role in the partnership before shifting gears to consolidate. It has been a strong, composed innings under pressure.

Quinton de Kock then plays one in the air but it lands safely as he collects a single.

However, the breakthrough comes soon after--Dhir is dismissed for 50 off 31 balls, caught by Xavier Bartlett. A valuable innings comes to an end just after reaching his milestone.

Hardik is the new batter.
