Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya was fined Rs 12 lakh for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during their encounter against Punjab Kings on Thursday in Mullanpur. The penalty was due to his team maintaining a slow over-rate during their nine-run victory over Punjab Kings. This was Mumbai Indians' first such offence of the season. According to the official IPL statement, the fine was imposed for breaching the minimum over-rate standards during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA New International Cricket Stadium on April 18. The league's statement emphasized the importance of adhering to the set standards.

The Mumbai Indians secured a 9-run win over Punjab Kings, in a match that proved to be intense and closely contested. Ashutosh Sharma nearly turned the game around with a spectacular 61-run inning that featured an array of sixes in just 28 balls. His explosive performance brought Punjab Kings close to a dramatic victory, but his dismissal in the 18th over shifted the game's momentum back to Mumbai Indians.

The Punjab Kings started their chase of 193 runs poorly, finding themselves at 17/4 early on. However, they managed to mount a significant comeback led by Ashutosh and Shashank Singh, who scored 41 runs off 25 balls. Despite their efforts, the Punjab Kings were bowled out for 183 runs in 19.1 overs. Mumbai Indians' victory was bolstered by an exceptional performance from Suryakumar Yadav, who scored 78 runs, helping his team to a total of 192 for seven. His contributions with the bat were instrumental in guiding Mumbai Indians to a competitive total, setting the stage for their successful defense of the target.
