Pune 119-5 (16 ovs) vs Punjab 172-7 | Scorecard

Dhoni continues to struggle against Axar, having scored just nine runs from 12 balls before he finally decides to change gears. He swipes Axar across the line and manages to get it in the gap between deep square leg and deep midwicket and also manages to send it over the ropes for a flat six. He paddles the next ball with a straight bat as Abbott makes a diving stop to keep it down to three.

Axar goes for 13 in his third over as Pune finally get some momentum in their innings, while taking the score past the 100-run mark, in the 15th over.

Abbott looking to bowl against Perera, but drops it a bit short as the Sri Lankan smashes it past point for a four. A few deliveries later, he bowls it a bit full and also a bit straight as Perera crashes it over long-on for a six.

Abbott again bowls it wide and this time Perera blasts it through the off-side for a four to get 16 runs from the 16th over.

Pune have recovered to 119 for five in 16 overs, with another 54 runs needed from four overs for victory.
