Mumbai 63-3 (7 ovs) vs Pune | Scorecard

With a wicket gone, Smith tries to sneak in a quick over from youngster Chahar. But the move backfires as Buttler goes after the fast bowler. He comes down the track and drives a full delivery through the covers for a four.

Buttler again chips down the track as Chahar drops it short but the England right-hander somehow manages to slash it over the covers for his third six of the innings. He then turns the last ball square on the leg side for a couple to get 13 runs from the over.

Tahir strikes again in his second over with the big wicket of Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma, who plays all over the faster delivery and is bowled for three.

Two balls later, he cripples Mumbai further with the key wicket of Buttler. The right-hander looks to turn it on the leg side but misses and is struck on the pads. But hold on, he has got a big inside edge on it and is visibly disappointed as he makes his way back after a quickfire 38 from 19 balls, laced with three fours and three sixes.

Tahir has superb figures of three for nine in two overs as Mumbai are reduced to 63 for three in seven overs.
