Punjab 112-3 (15 ovs) vs Pune 152-4 | SCORECARD


Left-arm spinner Ankit makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Vohra, who looks to sweep but fails to make connection and is trapped leg before wicket after a good innings of 51 from 33 balls.

Just four runs from the over as Shaun Marsh comes in at No. 3 with Punjab reaching 100 for one in 13 overs.

Ravi Ashwin comes back and Punjab again looking to play him cautiously and just see off his overs.

Murugan Ashwin strikes in the next over with the wicket of Marsh, who goes back and looks to hit it through the off-side but misses and is bowled for four.

The leg-spinner drops short as Vijay pulls it high over midwicket for a six to complete his fifty in grand style, from 49 balls.

However, Ashwin gets his revenge from the last delivery as Ashwin is caught behind for 53.

The match is still evenly poised with Punjab on 112 for three in 15 overs, with another 41 needed from 30 balls for victory.
