Dharamsala: Kings XI Punjab produced an all-round show as they ended their IPL campaign with a 50-run win over Mumbai Indians here on Saturday.
Riding on fine half centuries from Azhar Mahmood (80) and Shaun Marsh (63), Punjab posted a total of 183/ 4 after being put in to bat and then shot Mumbai out for 133 in 19.1 overs.
Punjab ended the tournament with 16 points from 16 matches, with Mumbai finishing on 22 from 16.
Mumbai never had a substantial partnership, the biggest being the 39-run stand between captain Rohit Sharma and Kieron Pollard for the sixth wicket.
Interestingly, Adam Gilchrist, who was playing his last IPL match, got a wicket, the only wicket in his illustrious career.
Mumbai needed 51 runs from the last over and Gilchrist stepped up to bowl and got Harbhajan Singh’s wicket with the first ball, an innocuous off-spinner that Bhajji slogged one-handed, the ball going straight to Gurkeerat Singh at long-on.
The Aussie great celebrated the wicket with a jig, a half Gangnam Style. (PTI)
