Odean Smith, who took four wickets in the match against Mumbai Indians(MI), said it was a 'coincidence' for him to defend 22 runs in the last over. Earlier in the match against Gujarat Titans(GT), Smith had to defend 19 runs in the penultimate over, but Punjab Kings(PBKS) lost.

Smith told the media that he was just thinking how strange it was that he was in the same circumstance (against Gujarat Titans). But, tonight, he backed himself up. He assumed that going straight down the ground or on the leg-side would be difficult for him (Unadkat).

Smith credited his achievement to the support he had from Mayank Agarwal, the coach, and the rest of the team's management. He stated that they have been quite inspiring. They have aided him mentally in being able to enter this game and perform as well as he has today. They have been quite beneficial to him and he would like to express his gratitude to the coach.

The 25-year-old Jamaican also commented that Captain Mayank has been incredible. He has always come to Smith and informed him that no matter what happens, he'll always be there for him. It is simply up to him to believe that he can achieve it since the entire team believes in him.

Coming to the match, PBKS defeated MI by 12 runs in their IPL 2022 match. This match was held at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Wednesday. This is credited to superb half-centuries by Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan, as well as gutsy bowling.

The skipper of PBKS played a 52-run inning. Additionally, Shikhar Dhawan hammered 70 runs as the opening pair stitched a 97-run partnership for the first wicket to help PBKS to a manageable 198/5 goal. Basil Thampi grabbed two wickets for MI. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, the team's standout pacer, took one.

MI has now lost five games in a row in the Indian Premier League 2022. On the other hand, PBKS have now won three games in a row.
