Mumbai 29-0 (3 ovs) vs Punjab 230-3 | Scorecard

Lendl Simmons and Parthiv Patel walk out to open the batting for the hosts as they chase a huge 231 for victory.

Sandeep Sharma starts with a poor delivery, full and on the pads, as Simmons flicks it through square leg for a four. The next ball is again down the leg side but this time the batsman fails to collect but gets a wide.

Simmons turns the third ball through midwicket for two runs and then takes one. Parthiv Patel gets off the mark with two runs from the last ball.

Matt Henry to bowl the second over. Simmons takes a single from the first ball before Parthiv pulls a short ball through midwicket for a four. The next ball is short and wide as Parthiv smashes it through the covers for another four.

Henry then overpitches as Parthiv plays a cracking cover drive to complete a hat-trick of boundaries with Mumbai racing to 23 for no loss in two overs.

Ishant Sharma to bowl the third over. He makes a good start giving away just two singles from his first four balls before Simmons ramps it fine on the off-side for a four to get six from the over.
