In fact, the in-form Mumbai top order of Sachin Tendulkar (6), Rohit Sharma (5), Andrew Symonds (8) and Ambati Rayuduu00a0 (13) contributed just 35 runs to the total. And after hard-hittersu00a0 T Suman (4) and Kieron Pollard (17) also failed to deliver with the willow, there was no way the visitors could get anywhere close to the 164-run target.
Mumbai could never recover after losing three wickets for 27 runs.
Seamer Praveen Kumar did the early damage when he took two of the first three wickets, including that of skipper Tendulkar. Left-arm spinner Bhatt finished with 4-22, including three wickets in one over.
Australians Shaun Marsh and Adam Gilchrist (28), and Dinesh Karthik (31) helped Punjab post a competitive total despite a five-wicket haul by seamer Munaf Patel (5-21).
Marsh, who put on 70 for the second wicket with skipper Gilchrist, hit five fours in his 34-ball knock before falling to a superb diving catch by Pollard in the deep off Patel.
Mumbai, who had already made sure of a place in the semi-finals, still lead with 16 points.
Earlier, Mumbai pacer Munaf Patel took a fifer to halt a late charge from Punjab.
