PBKS vs MI: Tilak Varma finishes it off in style, Punjab lose 5 on the trot

Follow live updates of Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, match number 58 of the IPL 2026 season, from the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.

PBKS vs MI, IPL 2026: The Punjab Kings (PBKS) have now lost 5 matches on the trot. April 25 was the last time they won a match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Now, they need to win their 2 remaining matches to qualify for the IPL 2026 Playoffs. The Mumbai Indians (MI) have claimed a great victory after being down and out after the 15th over. But Tilak Varma and Will Jacks find a way and win with 1 ball remaining.

Punjab Kings stumble to 200

Punjab Kings were once again off to a flier. They were 100/1 after 11 overs. But Mumbai came back into the game. Shardul Thakur struck twice in the 12th over. Raj Bawa sent Cooper Connolly back, and all of a sudden, Punjab lost 3 wickets for 4 runs. They kept losing wickets and were 166/8 with 2 overs left. Punjab decided to sub Vishnu Vinod in to finish it off, and he scored 15 off 8. Azmatullah Omarzai and Xavier Bartlett scored 38 off 17 and 18 off 7 as Punjab managed to get to 200.

Tilak Varma aces the chase

Ryan Rickelton gave a flying start to Mumbai. He was 47 off 21 after the powerplay but Rohit Sharma was struggling at the other end. After the powerplay, Mumbai lost 3 wickets in 18 balls. Rohit’s slow knock, 25 off 26, had hurt them, and Sherfane Rutherford didn’t help, 20 off 21, either. But Tilak Varma was in the form of his life in Dharamshala. He kept Mumbai alive, scoring his fifty off just 25 balls. Will Jacks came out all guns blazing when they were struggling. His 25 off 10 helped Tilak to finish the game off with 2 sixes and remain unbeaten on 75.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Tilak Varma finishes it for MI

14/05/2026 23:22

Ice in the veins. Tilak Varma has done it. He smashes a six over fine leg and gets it done. He remains unbeaten on 75 (33) and Will Jacks played an incredible cameo, 25 (10).

PBKS vs MI Live Score: 15 off 6 needed

14/05/2026 23:15

After conceding a six on the first, Arshdeep bowls great last 5 balls. Now, it's upto Bartlett to save 15 off the last over.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Fifty for Tilak Varma

14/05/2026 23:05

Tilak has been the best batter without a doubt. Unlike Rickelton, he didn't have just 2 fielders out. He came under pressure and has excelled. A 25-ball fifty when the game was getting out of hand. He needs to bat till the end if Mumbai are to win.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rutherford departs

14/05/2026 23:00

Rutherford's misery ends. He scores just 20 off 21. A net negative knock. If Mumbai lose, he and Rohit will be the main culprits in the chase. In comes Will Jacks. 

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Tilak Varma on fire

14/05/2026 22:55

What a knock from Tilak. The southpaw takes the leggie down, Rutherford chips in. 20 off the 16th over, including a 106m six that went out of the ground. Mumbai is back in the game. But Tilak has to continue.

Image

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Mumbai falling behind

14/05/2026 22:50

The game has probably slipped from Mumbai's hand already. They've let the run rate get to 14.40. Rutherford, 13 off 16, and Rohit, 25 off 26, are to blame. Can Mumbai somehow pull it off?

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rutherford struggling

14/05/2026 22:40

Like Rohit, Rutherford can't get going. His strike rate is just 80, 12 off 15. He needs to get going because Mumbai needs 80 off 36. Tilak has struck quickly but needs support from the other end.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rohit Sharma BOWLED

14/05/2026 22:23

That's the end of Rohit. A poor knock ends. Perhaps a match losing one. A quicker one from Chahal that doesn't spin and skids on instead. Rohit is hurried and the ball hits the off stump. He scored 25 off 26. MI are in trouble. They were 59/0 after 6 and now are 89/3 in 10.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Naman Dhir OUT

14/05/2026 22:13

It was Rohit who was struggled and Naman is the one who goes out. A short ball from Jansen that he tries to take on but upper edges towards fine leg, where Arsheep comes running forwards and doesn't make a mistake.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rohit Sharma struggling

14/05/2026 22:09

It's been a poor knock by Rohit so far. He needs to get going or get out. Luckily, for MI, he takes Jansen on. But still, his strike rate is just 100. Meanwhile, Naman Dhir has started really well.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rickelton OUT

14/05/2026 22:02

Rickelton falls short of his fifty by 2 runs. But it's been a great knock, 48 off 23. Mumbai is off to a flier because of him and is well poised to win. Azmat does the job for Punjab, who were in desperate need of a wicket.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rickelton flying, Mumbai ace powerplay

14/05/2026 21:58

Shreyas and Punjab would like to walk back the decision to not bowl Arshdeep in the 3rd over. From 2/0 after 1 over, Punjab gives away 58 in the 5. He didn't get any help when he returned in the 5th over. He was their best bet to take a wicket but he hasn't been used well. MI is flying, 59/0. Ryan Rickelton looks in great touch, 47 of 21, while Rohit Sharma hasn't found the middle of his bat yet.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Bartlett replaces Azmat

14/05/2026 21:47

4 overs and 4 different bowlers. Now, Xaviert Bartlett replaces Azmatullah Omarzai. This one makes more sense, as Bartlett is a swing bowler. So is Azmat but Jansen isn't. He's more of a hit-the-deck pacer. But Bartlett went for runs as well, 12. Now, Arshdeep is back.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: No 2nd over for Arshdeep

14/05/2026 21:43

Arshdeep bowled a tight first over, 2 runs, but Shreyas Iyer brought Marco Jansen on instead of him. A peculiar decision; not sure what the thinking is behind it. And it hasn't worked. Jansen was hit for 3 boundaries and all that pressure built by Arshdeep has dissipated.

PBKS vs MI Live Score: Rohit Sharma subbed in

14/05/2026 21:35

As expected, Rohit Sharma is the impact sub for MI. Mind you, PBKS had already subbed Vishnu Vinod in, after losing wickets. Prabhsimrah Singh is out and Vinod will keep wickets.

PBKS vs MI Live: Dropped catches galore

14/05/2026 21:25

Mumbai had a horrible day in the field. They dropped 4 catches and had countless misfields. It won't be a stretch to say that Mumbai has leaked 20-30 just by missing these chances. They'll hope they don't come to bite them back.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Innings done

14/05/2026 21:20

For a large part of the innings, it looked like PBKS won't cross 200, but they do. Thanks to the last three overs, where they get 60 runs. Oh, and the very last delivery, Bumrah has a wicket. His 4th of the season. Oh no wait. The umpire reverses the decision.

Image

PBKS vs MI Live updates: All eyes on Omarzai

14/05/2026 21:04

Omarzai is playing a little gem, that his team needs so badly. Two sixes and a four in Chahar's over are making things look better. 19 runs come from the over, but the batter is caught on the last ball.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Another wicket for Shardul

14/05/2026 20:58

Shardul has a fourth wicket and the slower ball is really working here. The bowler rolls his finger over the ball again, and this time Jansen is out.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Bosch has a wicket now

14/05/2026 20:47

What is wrong with Punjab's batting? They have now lost Shashank Singh -- Bosch bowls on the off, and it tails slightly on to the pads. Shashank misses it, and is out LBW.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Shardul picks third wicket

14/05/2026 20:40

What is PBKS up to? Now Suryansh Shedge makes his way back to the pavilion. The ball was flying past short mid-wicket, but Raj Bawa flies to take an excellent catch.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Wicket for Raj Bawa

14/05/2026 20:31

Looks like Raj Bawa has his maiden wicket in IPL here. Bowled on middle, Connolly tries to guide the ball, but is bowled. Another wicket for Mumbai.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: MI fielders take a catch

14/05/2026 20:24

And finally Prabhsimran's catch has been taken. Shardul has a wicket here as the batter looks to take the aerial route again. Bosch completes a simple catch; out for 57. An eventful over continues. It is a slower one and Shreyas can't pick that up. Clean bowled for 4.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: 50 for Prabhsimran

14/05/2026 20:20

After getting dropped twice, Prabhsimran Singh has reached his 50 in 29 deliveries. Mumbai need wickets and in a cluster. Score will reach 200 for sure.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Time for Jacks now

14/05/2026 20:12

Another change in bowling and Will Jacks comes into the attack. Mumbai need wickets here. A clean over to start with, though.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Spin introduced early

14/05/2026 20:05

After a drop by Corbin Bosch, and handing another lifeline to Prabhsimran, Raghu Sharma comes into the attack. Cooper Connolly tees off in style and it is the first six of the innings.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Deepak Chahar strikes

14/05/2026 19:56

Deepak has been hit for a boundary on the very first delivery and that brings up the 50-run partnership. But the very next delivery is a knuckle-ball; sways to the middle stump and Arya is out. Clean bowled.

PBKS vs MI Live updates: Expensive over by Shardul

14/05/2026 19:53

Not a great start by Shardul here. He is taken for 15 runs in his very first, and Mumbai need wickets here. Bumrah has been removed from the attack.

PBKS vs MI Live: Bit of a struggle for Prabh

14/05/2026 19:47

Prabhsimran is taking his time to settle in. Arya meanwhile pulls Bumrah for a four. Cautious, but a confidence-inducing start for Punjab. Another over ends.

PBKS vs MI Live: Prabh needs to make most of the chance

14/05/2026 19:40

Punjab need Prabhsimran to fire all cyclinders, especially after getting a reprive this early in the innings. Arya is going well for now. Another good over by Chahar comes to an end.

PBKS vs MI Live: It is Bumrah's turn now

14/05/2026 19:37

Oh god. What has Naman Dhir done here. He has dropped a sitter at 1st slip. The ball is just outside off, and Prabhsimran edges it. But the fielder makes a mess of it. Bumrah stays at three wickets in the season.

PBKS vs MI Live: Deepak Chahar starts proceedings

14/05/2026 19:32

And it is not Bumrah, but Deepak Chahar who comes to bowl the first over. And Arya gets into the act, plays over point, for a four. A good over to start with.

PBKS vs MI Live: Expect some early wickets

14/05/2026 19:23

It should be a bit of a struggle for the batters in the PP. If they can withstand the strom, 200+ score would not be an issue at all.

PBKS vs MI toss: MI win the toss

14/05/2026 19:02

Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss for MI and has opted to bowl first. "We have decided to bowl first. We saw the last game and felt maybe with the cold weather coming down the wicket will settle down. I didn't think that I will be a Test captain before becoming MI captain (smiles). As much as we can, we can three games left and we want to enjoy and maybe ruffle a few teams. Surya is not here for personal reasons and Allah is not there as well."
