Pune 157-3 (20 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Milne's extra pace works for Dhoni as he breaks the shackles, slashing a short wide delivery past point for a four. He turns the next ball on the leg side for a couple and then takes one.

Tiwary swings a length delivery on the leg side as a misfield gets him two runs followed by a single.  Milne again drops short as Tiwary pulls him fine for another four.

Chahal still has two overs left but Aravind comes back. Two singles from the first two balls before Dhoni clubs a full delivery back over the bowler's head for a straight six to register the 400th six of IPL 10.

Tiwary comes down and looks to flay it through the off-side but can't beat the fielder at point before he hits the last ball to long-off for one as 10 come from the over.

Milne bowls a brilliant 19th over, his final of the innings. He bowls to his field, looking to bowl it full with a pack off-side field and the only four of the over comes through an inside edge off Tiwary past the wicketkeeper.

Aravind also follows it up with another superb over. Once again Tiwary gets the edge, this time the leading edge for a boundary through thirdman while Dhoni manages just two singles and leg bye.

RCB have conceded just 28 runs from the last three overs despite Pune having Dhoni out in the middle.

The hosts finish on 157 for three in their 20 overs with Dhoni unbeaten on 21 from 17 balls and Tiwary on 44 from 35 balls. They never really hit top gear and in the death overs struggled to get the boundaries and just about managed to cross the 150-run mark.
