Mumbai returned to score 11 on the second attempt, with a superb piece of fielding from Punjab's Mayank Agarwal on the boundary rope denying Mumbai's Kieron Pollard a six from the last delivery.
West Indies batsman Chris Gayle then smashed a six off the first ball for Punjab before Agarwal wrapped up the victory with back-to-back boundaries.
"This is sport. It can get hard, but you definitely can't do without it," said Indian batsman Agarwal. "It is amazing to be part of this game, which will go down in history."
