Earlier, the KL Rahul-led side posted 221/6 on the board after being put in to bat first at the batting friendly Wankhede Stadium.

Punjab with the help of superb knocks from Rahul (91), Deepak Hooda (64) and Chris Gayle (40) reached a total which was 40 runs more than the average score at this venue.
