Punjab 50-0 (6 ovs) vs Pune 152-4 | SCORECARD


Ravichandran Ashwin introduced early as he comes on to bowl the fourth over. He makes a tidy start, conceding just four singles with both Vijay and Vohra content to play it safe against India's number one spinner.

Ishant comes under attack from the young Vohra, who smashes him for three boundaries in a row. A half-volley is smashed over mid-off for a four before a misfield at short thirdman gifts him another boundary. Vohra comes down the track to the last ball and carves it over the off-side to make it a hat-trick of fours.

Punjab looking in control on 43 for no loss in five overs.

Punjab doing it quite sensibly, not taking any risks against Ashwin, playing to the merit. On the one occasion that Ashwin drops short, Vijay rocks back and crashes it through the off-side for a four.

Punjab have raced to 50 for no loss in six overs with Vijay on 29 from 25 balls and Vohra on 19 from 11 balls.

They need another 103 runs from 14 overs at an asking rate of 7.3.
