DUBAI: Kings XI Punjab beat Mumbai Indian in the second Super Over in the neil bitting match of the Indian Premier League on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Kings XI required 12 runs in the second Super Over which was acheived by Chirs Gayle and Mayank Agarwal in the fourth ball of Trent Boult over.

First Super Over was tied as both team scored 5 runs each.
