Pune 81-4 (12 ovs) vs Punjab 172-7 | Scorecard

Pacer Abbott comes back as Tiwary looks to break free but is unable to make connection. He comes down the track and has a wild swing but is beaten and the same happens off the next ball before he finally steers the last ball past point for two runs.

A good over from Abbott, giving away just three, to build up the pressure as Pune reach 62 for two in 10 overs at the halfway stage with the asking rate going up constantly with every passing over.

Khawaja also looking to break free as hits a good drive off Rishi Dhawan but can't beat the fielder in the covers but gets the next in the gap for a four.

But Dhawan keeps it tight, giving away just five runs from the rest of the over as Punjab continue to build the pressure.

Punjab take a gamble as part-timer Gurkeerat is brought into the attack, to bowl the 12th over.

Tiwary decides to target the off-spinner as he slog sweeps him over midwicket for a six. The bowler gets immediate revenge as he comes down the track and goes for another big hit but mishits it and is caught on the off-side for 17.

Three balls later, Khawajam who played a sedate innings of 30 from 29 balls, attempts the slog sweep but ends up holing to deep midwicket.

Captain Dhoni is left shaking his hand in disappointment as Pune are reduced to 81  for four in 12 overs, needing another 92 runs from eight overs for victory.
