May 16, 2017  20:34


Pune 33-2 (6 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

The onus is now on Ajinkya Rahane to revive Pune. The Wankhede stadium is his home ground and he would definitely have a good knowledge of the conditions.

Rahane looks to counter-attack as he hits McClenagahan for a couple of fours. He pulls the pacer for a four over midwicket and then hits a beautiful drive through the covers for the same result. He flicks the fifth ball through midwicket for a couple to get 10 from the over.

Jasprit Bumrah comes into the attack after just one over from Malinga with the new ball in which he took a wicket.

A tidy start from Bumrah, giving away just five singles.

Leg-spinner Karn Sharma comes in from the other end. Rahane breaks the shackles as he makes room and flays a full delivery through the covers for a four, just the third boundary for Pune in five overs.

Another tight over from Malinga who just concedes just two runs with Pune struggling to 33 for two in six overs.
