Punjab Kings have become the talk of IPL 2026 after smashing their eighth double-century in the season during a thrilling encounter with Mumbai Indians at Dharamshala.

This feat makes PBKS the lone team to achieve eight 200+ scores across two separate seasons, having done so in 2025 as well. They now share the single-season record with Gujarat Titans (2025) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (2026).

In the match, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh’s 50-run powerplay partnership set the tone. Arya’s 22 (17 balls, 4 fours) gave way to Prabhsimran’s anchoring 57 (32 balls), bolstered by 57 runs with Cooper Connolly to hit 107.

Post-Prabhsimran, wickets tumbled, but Omarzai’s blistering 38 (17 balls: 4 sixes, 2 fours) revived hopes. Bartlett (18*) and Vinod (15*) held firm to post 200/8.

MI’s bowlers fought back led by Thakur’s 4/39 and Chahar’s brace. Bosch and Bawa took one each.

PBKS, with 6 wins and 13 points from 11 matches, aim for third place. MI’s ninth spot after 8 defeats underscores their struggles.
