The way Punjab lost wickets in the beginning I thought Punjab would lose by a huge margin. But they lost by few runs as the next batsmen performed well. Especially Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh both batted well, Shashank Singh scored 41 runs off 25 balls and Ashutosh Sharma scored 61 runs off 28 balls his strike rate was 200+. If Punjab's top-order batsmen had performed well yesterday, Punjab might have won. Punjab lost 4 wickets in the first 3 overs, eventually being bowled out for 183 runs before the allotted overs. Mumbai's bowlers bowled aggressively at the start which led to their win in the end. Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah bowled very well at the start. Finally Mumbai won and improved in the points table, now Mumbai has moved up to number 7 in the points table.
While chasing 192, PBKS lost 4 wickets for just 14 runs in 2.1 overs. Gerald Coetzee and Bumrah did good job to pick 4 early wickets. Lower batting order provided good support, Shashank Singh scored 41 runs while Ashutosh Sharma scored 61 runs. PBKS lost the match by just 9 runs because of lack of support from top order batting lineup. MI are still in the contest after this win and need to play like that to make it to next round.

Mumbai Indians must win most of the next matches to move to the best fourth position. Rajasthan Royals' top spot is almost guaranteed and they are likely to qualify if they win all three matches.
Chennai Super Kings have chances to qualify especially Chennai Super Kings have great balancing both bowling department and batting department. So chances of Chennai Super Kings qualifying are also high.
Kolkata Knight Riders are performing very well in this year's IPL, especially Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, their all-round performance has been able to take second position in Kolkata Knight Riders.
If any other team wants to occupy the position of the top four teams, they must win each of the next matches and keep the NRR good and occupy the top spot in the points table.
