 Punjab 177-5 (20 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

Suchith to bowl his fourth and final over. Just two singles from the first four balls before Bailey comes down the track and launches it over long-on for a six and picks a couple from the last ball. Suchith goes for 10 runs in his final over to finish with one for 41 in four overs.

Malinga picks up another wicket in his next over. This time Dhawan hits one straight into the hands of Vinay Kumar at deep square leg to perish for six.

Interestingly, Mitchell Johnson comes out to bat but Wriddhiman Saha is yet to come. Wonder why?

But an excellent over from Malinga, taking a wicket while conceding just three runs, in the 18th over.

Vinay to bowl the 19th over. Bailey drives the first ball to long-on and he sprints back for the second run. Johnson is lucky that bowler Vinay failed to gather the throw from Pollard or else he could have been in trouble.

The next ball is in the slot, full and on the pads as Bailey lofts it over midwicket for a six. He takes a single from the next ball to race to his half-century from 27 balls.

Vinay attempts a very slow bouncer which Bailey swats like a tennis forehand and is lucky that the ball falls safely at deep midwicket as 11 come from the over.

Suyal to bowl the final over of the innings. Four runs from the first four balls before Bailey smashes it down the ground for a four and the left-arm pacer then bowls a wide outside the off-stump. The last ball is a full toss which Bailey crashes through the off-side for another four to get 13 runs from the over.

Punjab finish on a huge 177 for five in their 20 overs with Bailey smashing a quickfire 61 from 32 balls, while Johnson was unbeaten on three.
