Gujarat 129-2 (14 ovs) vs Pune 163-5 | SCORECARD


Murugan Ashwin gets one to grip and turn big, beating McCullum and even Dhoni to give away two byes as the 11th over goes for eight runs.

McCullum not letting the momentum shift as he gives Ravi Ashwin the charge and smashes him straight back over his head for a four. The next ball is hit higher and further for a six over long-on before he gets a lifeline from the last ball.

Dhoni misses a regulation stumping with McCullum (46 from 26 balls) beaten all ends up in the flight.

That could have been a vital breakthrough for the visitors but the captain messed up an easy chance.

Rajat Bhatia comes back as the two Gujarat batsmen take six easy singles in that over to continue their superior showing with the bat.

Ishant makes the crucial breakthrough as McCullum mishits the pull shot and is caught on the off-side after a quickfire 49 from 31 balls.

Raina steers the second ball past point for two runs before he crunches the fifth ball over the off-side ring for a four.

Nine runs from the over as the asking rate comes below six with 35 needed from six overs for victory.
