A crucial 17-ball 38 from Azmatullah Omarzai has set up Punjab Kings to 200 against Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2026 game played at Dharamsala.

He got dismissed on a pace delivery with an inswinger where Arya missed the ball completely and got bowled out on the top of the leg stump.
Cooper Connolly who came to bat at No. 3 joined Prabhsimran Singh at the crease. In the meantime, Prabhsimran Singh smashed his fifty and scored 57 runs off 31 deliveries before being dismissed by Shardul Thakur.
He got dismissed on a thick outside edge as Corbin Bosch picked the catch. Shardul Thakur bagged the wicket of Shreyas Iyer for 4 runs. He got bowled out as the ball sneaked past the outside edge to hit the top of the off stump.
