Punjab restricted Mumbai to 201 for six after scoring 214 for eight. Mumbai, however, were in good shape after the 19th over when they needed 16 runs to win with six wickets in hand. Arshdeep Singh, however, gave only two runs in this over and took two wickets. Rohit told the broadcasters after the match, “We made some mistakes but we will not pay much attention to it. Will tell the players to keep their morale up. ,
Rohit said, “We have played six matches so far and have won three and lost three. There is a lot of time left in the tournament, we need to stay competitive.” He credited Arshdeep for getting Punjab to victory while praising Suryakumar Yadav and Cameron Green for keeping their team in the match. He said, “Surya and Green batted well and kept us in the match till the end. Credit goes to Arshdeep for his bowling. Not our day today but we put up a good fight.
