 Pune 134-3 (16 ovs) vs Lions | SCORECARD

Australia captain Steven Smith walks in at No. 4 with Mahendra Singh Dhoni waiting in the wings.

Smith gets an early lifeline as he risks a difficult second run off James Faulkner but is saved by a wild throw from Jakati as the wicketkeeper has to stretch wide and collect it.

Du Plessis picks another couple of risky runs on the leg side before picking two more runs wide of long-off.

Tambe comes back, to bowl his fourth and final over. Du Plessis lofts the first ball over the covers for a four and repeats the shot off the next delivery as Brendon McCullum makes an acrobatic effort, running to his left at mid-off but is unable to hold on and deflects the ball over the ropes for a six.

But Tambe gets revenge as du Plessis comes down the track but is beaten and is stumped after a good knock of 69 from 43 balls, having hit five fours and four sixes.

Tambe finishes with good figures of two for 33 in four overs with Pune on 134 for three in 16 overs.

India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni comes out to join Smith in the middle as Pune looking to push in the final few overs.
