Mumbai Indians’ top-order seems to be putting too much pressure on themselves, because the lower-order is unable to launch big blows at the death.

Having been asked to bat first by the Punjab Kings and losing Quinton de Kock early on Friday, the responsibility of assessing a total was up to Rohit Sharma (63) and Suryakumar Yadav (33). Both with a strike rate of below 125, one imagines they had worked out a total on the basis of the surface.
