Mumbai 28-0 (3 ovs) vs Pune | Scorecard

Pacer Ashok Dinda to open the bowling for Pune as Mumbai open with the dangerous Jos Buttler along with left-hander Parthiv Patel.

Dinda starts with a wide to Parthiv before he takes a single on the leg side to get off the mark. Buttler gets five runs from the first ball courtesy of overthrows as the fielder at midwicket looks for a direct but misses and gives away some easy runs.

The next ball is on the pads as Parthiv clips it fine for a four to get 11 from the first over.

Fast bowler Deepak Chahar comes in from the other end. He starts with a short ball as Buttler pulls it for a four through midwicket. Two balls later, the right hander walks across his stumps and flicks it through square leg for another boundary.

Dinda starts his second over with a short ball which Parthiv pulls over midwicket for a four before he drives the fifth ball straight down the ground past mid-off for the second four of the over.

Patel slashes the last ball as he hits it straight to Rajat Bhatia on the thirdman fence who puts down a straightforward chance.

Mumbai are off to a good start as they race to 28 for no loss in three overs.
