Bailey lifts Kings XI Punjab to IPL win

George Bailey belted an unbeaten 61 and Mitchell Johnson was impressive as Kings XI Punjab scored an 18-run IPL win over the Mumbai Indians.

George Bailey belted an unbeaten 61 and Mitchell Johnson knocked over an Australian teammate as Kings XI Punjab scored an emphatic 18-run IPL win over the Mumbai Indians.

Bailey's 32-ball dig included three sixes as Kings XI Punjab made 5-177 at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday night.

Australian allrounder Glenn Maxwell was caught at deep mid-wicket for six, while former Indian great Virender Sehwag cracked 36 from 19 balls at the top of the innings.

Mumbai were never in it in reply, slumping to 3-17 in the sixth over when opener Aaron Finch tried to hit fellow Australian World Cup winner Johnson over mid-on but was bowled.

Johnson finished with an economical 2-23 from his four overs.

Harbhajan Singh produced some late fireworks, slamming 64 from only 24 balls but the victory target was always out of reach.
