POWER PLAY UPDATE: Mumbai restrict stuttering Punjab

Openers Priyansh Arya (22) and Prabhsimran Singh (27*) added exactly 50 for the first wicket as the stuttering Punjab Kings reached 55-1 in the Power Play after being asked to bat first in their Tata IPL match against the Mumbai Indians at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Thursday.

Priyansh was bowled by Deepak Chahar in the sixth over and was joined by Australian Cooper Connolly (1*) as longtime log-leaders Punjab aim to halt a run of four consecutive defeats while Mumbai have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
