A brave innings from Saurabh Tiwary helped Mumbai Indians draw victory from the jaws of defeat against King XI Punjab at Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday.
Punjab had moved to a comfortable position at one point. However, it was Tiwary's 31 off 23 balls that eased things for Mumbai.
Punjab could have made it their way if not for Ravi Bopara's penultimate over where he gave away 13 runs.
Earlier, Speedster Lasith Malinga captured four wickets, including three in four balls, to help Mumbai Indians dismiss Kings XI Punjab for 163.
The Sri Lanka pacer with a sling-on action swung the ball at good speed to unsettle the rival batsmen and returned superb figures of 4 for 22, which left Kings XI in tatters after they were asked to take first strike.
He was given splendid support by fellow paceman Zaheer Khan (3 for 34) and Harbhajan Singh who bowled the middle overs economically and also took two catches, one of them a superb running and tumbling effort.
