Pune 182-5 (20 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard

KKR manage to dry up the boundaries as Woakes starts off well in the penultimate over. He starts with a yorker which Smith defends on the leg side for a couple and then manages a single off the next.

A single each to the two batsmen followed by a wide before Christian smashes the last two balls of the over for sixes. A full delivery outside off is smashed over the covers while he swings the last ball over midwicket to help Pune's innings get back on track.

Smith makes it three sixes in a row as he flays a wide delivery from Umesh square on the off-side for another maximum. He gets a single from the next ball to race to his half-century from just 35 balls.

Umesh bowls a very slow bouncer which takes ages to reach Christian who slaps it to point and steals a quick run.

The next ball is a quick full toss on the leg side as Smith misses out on the flick and gets just a leg bye.

Umesh bowls a wide as Smith does well to sneak another extra run before he is unable to get the next ball away and picks just a run.

The last ball is a full toss but Christian hits it straight into the hands of Pandey at deep midwicket to fall for 16.

Smith finishes umbeaten on a good innings of 51 from 37 balls to lift Pune to a healthy 182 for five in their 20 overs.
