Pune 48-0 (6 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

Mumbai introduce spin early as leggie Karn Sharma comes into the attack to bowl the fourth over in his first match for the hosts. He is the 90th player to represent Mumbai Indians in the IPL.

Tripathi drives Karn through the covers off his first two deliveries for a couple of runs off successive deliveries before he takes one and Rahane keeps strike with one from the last ball.

Jasprit Bumrah comes into the attack, replacing Johnson. Rahane continues his good start as he plays another cracking drive through the covers for a four before he is beaten off the next.

Tripathi chips down the track to Karn and lofts him over mid-on for a six before he takes a single to the covers. Rahane flicks a slightly short delivery through midwicket for another four to take Pune to 48 for no loss in six overs. It has been a good start by the visitors especially Rahane, who has stroked his way to 26 from 21 balls, while Tripathi has made 20 from 15 balls.
