Pune 25-0 (3 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson to open the bowling for Mumbai. Ajinkya Rahane defends the first ball on the leg side for a single to get off the mark. Tripathi defends the third ball to thirdman for one before Rahane looks to pull but is beaten. Johnson bowls a wide delivery as he tempts Rahane to chase it, who is beaten again, before he slashes another wide delivery over the covers for a flat six.

Left-arm seamers from both ends as Mitchell McClenaghan comes in from the other end. Tripathi wastes no time to get going as he comes down the track to the third ball and hammers a short ball over point for a four before he takes a quick single with Rahane just about managing to beat the direct hit from Pollard.

Rahane drives the last ball of the over straight down the ground for another four.

Rahane looking in some touch at the moment at his home ground -- the Wankhede stadium. Johnson, from round the wicket, overpitches as Rahane plays the straight drive to perfection past mid-off for his second four as he races to 16 from nine balls with Pune reaching 25 for no loss in three overs.
