IPL 2025: Priyansh Arya & Josh Inglis shine with bat as Punjab Kings thrash Mumbai Indians to seal top-two spot | Ipl News

Josh Inglis sparkles after Priyansh Arya dazzles as Punjab move to the top after their bowlers restrict Mumbai Indians to 184 for 7 Vijaykumar Vyshak showed the way and Arshdeep Singh followed as only Suryakumar Yadav offered genuine resistance. Punjab Kings seamers alternated pacy length skidders with slower ones into the turf as Mumbai lost wickets regularly. Priyansh dazzles If they face off Punjab Kings again in this tournament, Mumbai Indians’ seamers would do well to stop feeding the left-handed Priyansh Arya on his preferred off-side. They need someone who can target the line around middle and leg, and not short at that. Inexplicably, they kept trying to slant the ball across him and the young languid batsman, who has the skill of letting his hands glide through the off-side arc, made merry.

Gujarat Titans’ choice to pick a blacksoil sluggish track for the game paid off as Mumbai Indians couldn’t adapt, and lost steam in the chase. Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Parthiv Patel mentioned during the first innings that it was a deliberate choice from his team to choose a black-soil pitch in Ahmedabad that is on the slower side where the ball can stop a touch as Mumbai Indians, he felt, were more used to red-soil tracks. With the ball not coming on, Mumbai would struggle more than their team. He was proved right as the wheels came off the chase in the second half as the 197-run target proved 36 runs beyond them. Prasidh sparkles The timeout at the end of the eight over of the chase triggered rather interesting scenes. MI were 69 for 2. Unsurprisingly, GT coach Ashish Nehra was out there, jabbering away passionately to Kagiso Rabada and Prasidh Krishna. Surprisingly, MI’s Rohit Sharma, who had lost his off stump to a peach of a scrambled offcutter from Mohammad Siraj, was out …

WPL 2025: Matter of frames as Delhi Capitals prevail in dramatic finish against Mumbai Indians | Cricket News

In the end, it was all about the frames. On a dramatic night in the Women’s Premier League, Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians in a thriller that was decided by the smallest of margins, with the TV umpire’s decisions on run-out appeals causing plenty of drama in the closing stages. DC won by 2 wickets off the last ball of the match in Vadodara. Chasing 165, DC were off to a blazing start thanks to Shafali Verma but MI fought back impressively to have the upper hand in the middle stages. DC’s debutants Niki Prasad and Sarah Bryce played crucial cameos before the lower order held on to win. With 2 runs needed off 1 ball, Arundhati Reddy scampered back for the second run and was deemed to have crossed the line just in time. Earlier, opting to bowl, DC put up a strong showing with the ball despite MI’s two star batters – Nat Sciver-Brunt and Harmanpreet Kaur – playing impressive knocks. Shikha Pandey was especially effective with figures of 2/14 as MI were …
