Mullanpur: Punjab Kings’ batting was very poor in the 33rd match of IPL 2024 against Mumbai Indians. Five top order batsmen were out on the score of just 49 runs. Mumbai bowlers took a flurry of wickets. It seemed that the Punjab team would be limited to even 100 runs, but from here Shashank Singh stood up for Punjab Kings. Shashank, along with Jitesh Sharma, destroyed the Mumbai bowlers. Shashank not only rescued the team from trouble but also pushed it towards victory.
However, Shashank Singh lost his wicket after reaching his half-century. Shashank scored 41 runs in this innings playing 25 balls. Shashank himself gave a launch pad to Ashutosh Sharma. Then what happened from where Shashank left his innings. From there, Ashutosh Sharma took over and made Mumbai’s situation worse. However, Ashutosh was out after taking Punjab closer to victory.
Somehow Mumbai won
After losing the early wickets, the kind of batting done for Punjab by first Shashank and then Ashutosh Sharma was amazing. Ashutosh had almost snatched the match from Mumbai. Hardik Pandya was tensed and went to Rohit Sharma asking for advice to stop Ashutosh, but fate had something else in store.
