Prabhsimran was the star for the Kings, smashing <\/span><span class=\"s2\">57 off 32 balls<\/span><span class=\"s1\">, including 6 boundaries and 4 sixes. Nevertheless, PBKS suffered a middle-order collapse, slipping from 107\/1 to 140\/7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Shardul Thakur<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> was the wrecker-in-chief for Mumbai, claiming a superb <\/span><span class=\"s2\">4\/39<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> to dismantle the Punjab middle order. Just as PBKS looked set for a sub-par total, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Azmatullah Omarzai<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> played an important cameo of <\/span><span class=\"s2\">38 off 17 balls<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">A late-inning surge from Impact Player <\/span><span class=\"s3\">Vishnu Vinod (15)<\/span><span class=\"s1\">* and <\/span><span
