PUNE WIN BY 4 WICKETS!!!

Pune 173-6 (20 ovs) vs Punjab 172-7 | Scorecard


This is a gamble now, having a spinner Axar to bowl to Dhoni with 23 needed from the last over for victory.

The first ball is hit to deep midwicket and again Dhoni turns down the single before the spinner bowls a leg side wide.

The next ball is full as Dhoni sweeps it over midwicket for a six. The Pune captain smashes the third ball over the off-side but Amla at long-off does an excellent job inside the ropes to save a boundary and again Pune have not taken a run.

Dhoni launches the next ball over long-off and this time it goes in the gap for a four, 12 needed from two balls for victory.

Axar again bowls a length ball as Dhoni swings it over square for another six, this is not over yet!

Nothing is over till Dhoni the finisher is out in the middle, they need six from the last ball for victory.

No stopping Dhoni as he launches the last ball over midwicket for a six to take his team to an unlikely victory. How many time has he ended a match with a SIX!!!

Dhoni has done the impossible, well nothing is impossible till Dhoni is out in the middle.

He has blasted 23 runs from the last over, including two sixes from the last two balls to carry his team to victory and help his team avoid the last-place finish.

The Pune captain single-handedly carried his team to victory, playing a splendid innings of 64 not out from 32 balls, hitting four fours and five sixes.
