S. Sreesanth cried tears of joy and relief as Kings XI Punjab, so desperately hard-pressed for points, finally notched up a win over Mumbai Indians by 66 runs here.
Chasing Mohali's 182, Mumbai were restricted to a pathetic 116 for nine, and are still without any points.
Brett Lee bowled a sensational first spell for the Mohali team, while Piyush Chawla had a spell of 2-16 off four overs to settle the issue for Mohali.
Dwayne Bravo scored 23 for the Mumbai side and Shaun Pollock 22, but it was never going to be enough.
Sri Lankan star Kumar Sangakkara scored a brilliant 94 as Kings XI Punjab scored 182 in their 20 overs against Mumbai Indians.
The Mohali side would have expected one of their other batsmen to share a stand with Sangakkara, but no one stayed on long enough and Mumbai skipper Harbhajan Singh would be satisfied with the performance on the field.
Harbhajan himself was the leading wicket-taker for the Mumbai team with three scalps.
Mumbai Indians once again went in with Sachin Tendulkar as their captain is still not fit, putting them in quite a situation as they go into the game desperately needing a win. Harbhajan Singh once again won the toss, and again like the previous games decided to field first.
Kings XI Punjab are also in a pretty desperate situation in the India Premier League, and they too would be hoping to turn around with a win. They are at the bottom of the table, without any points to their name, while Mumbai are just a shade better, that too only because of their run-rate.
The Mumbai squad brought in Saurabh Tiwary to replace offie Vikrant Yaligati, while Yuvraj Singh decided to drop James Hopes and replace him with VRV Singh.
Teams: Mumbai Indians: Sanath Jayasuriya, Luke Ronchi , Robin Uthappa, Abhishek Nayar, Dwayne Bravo, Shaun Pollock, Harbhajan Singh, Musavir Khote, Ashish Nehra, Dhaval Kulkarni, Saurabh Tiwary.
Kings XI Punjab: Karan Goel, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Sunny Sohal, Brett Lee, Piyush Chawla, S. Sreesanth, VRV Singh.
