Leaders Mumbai Indians Face Biggest Upset

Mumbai Indians who are at the top of the points table and have qualified for the play offs faced the biggest upset of the season when Kings XI Punjab, placed tenth at the start of the game, produced a strong performance to defeat them by 78 runs.

Punjab who batted first scored 163/8 in their allotted 20 overs despite a five wicket haul from Munaf Patel. Shaun Marsh scored 43 while Dinesh Karthik made 31 to help Punjab reach competitive score against a powerful Mumbai batting line up.
