IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings match (Updated) 

Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) played out an enthralling encounter in IPL 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, April 22. The visitors ended up winning the contest by 13 runs to secure two crucial points.

PBKS, still without their regular skipper Shikhar Dhawan, got off to a jittery start after losing Matthew Short cheaply. The visitors recovered well but were still in a shaky state at the halfway mark.

Sam Curran, the stand-in skipper, led from the front with a brisk fifty. PBKS accelerated to a great extent, taking on Arjun Tendulkar and Cameron Green for heaps of runs. A stunning cameo by Jitesh Sharma propelled PBKS to a mammoth score of 214/8 in the first innings.

MI lost Ishan Kishan early in the run chase, but that did not deter the hosts as they went about with full aggression. Rohit Sharma and Cameron Green shared an important partnership for the second wicket. While the skipper perished just short of a fifty, Green notched his second consecutive half-century.

Suryakumar Yadav took over the proceedings following the skipper's dismissal and was at his dangerous best, recording his fastest IPL fifty. MI remained in the hunt until the final over, but a sensational final over by Arshdeep Singh squandered the home side's hope for a fourth consecutive win.
