Pune 179-4 (20 ovs) vs Sunrisers 176-3 | Scorecard

Dhoni 'The Finisher' is back! He smashes a quickfire 61 from 34 balls, hitting a boundary off the last ball to guide his team to a thrilling six-wicket victory.

Tiwary played a good hand with 17 from eight balls as the two batsmen put on an unbroken stand of 58 runs from 23 balls for the fifth wicket as Pune staged a late assault to steal victory.

Dhoni held his nerves quite well in the final few overs to bounce back in some style after a difficult start to IPL 10.

Interestingly, Sunrisers hit 63 from the final five overs, while Pune responded with 64 from their last five overs to clinch their second straight win.
