Du Plessis, Pietersen give Pune a flying start
April 14, 2016  20:29


 Pune 57-1 (6 ovs) vs Lions | SCORECARD

Change of ends for Jakati, who replaces Praveen, who bowled two overs for 12 runs with the new ball.

And Raina bringing on a left-arm spinner against KP is not surprising though, who is content to take a single from the first ball.

Faf comes down the track, makes a bit of room and heaves it down the ground over long-on for a six. A quick single before KP dances down the track and flicks it past midwicket for his first boundary and takes a single.

The last ball is a full toss but Faf can't find the gap as he hits it straight to the fielder at mid-on.

Another change in the bowling as Tambe is taken off despite taking the wicket in his first over as he makes way for Dwayne Bravo.

The first ball is a long hop as KP rocks back and pulls it behind square on the leg side for a six.

The second ball is a full toss but Pietersen is unable to make most and gets an inside edge for a quick single.

Two more singles before Faf lofts a slower length ball straight down the ground for a six followed by a single as Bravo is hit for 16 runs in his first over.

Despite Rahane's early wicket, Pune have recovered well to race to 57 for one in six overs with Faf on 20 from 12 balls and KP on 15 from seven.
