Punjab 26-0 (3 ovs) vs Pune 152-4 | SCORECARD


Ishant Sharma opens the bowling for Pune and facing him is his Test team mate Murali Vijay, who defends the first two balls before taking one from the third ball to get his team off and running.

Manan Vohra hits the first ball he faces on the leg side but doesn't time it that well to get two runs before he defends the last two balls.

Left-arm spinner Ankit Sharma to share the new ball. Vijay wastes no time as he goes after the spinner in his very first over, chipping down the track to the third ball and lofting it straight for the first four of the innings and repeats the shot after a wide for another four.

Vohra plays an uppish shot off the leg side from the last ball as Ankit goes for 13 runs in his first over.

Vijay looking to take the initiative early as he swings Ishant over the leg side for a four. He looks to scoop it over the keeper but fails to make connection. However, he gets the last ball off the middle, timing the inside out lofted shot to perfection for a six over the off-side.

Punjab are off to a good start as they race to 26 for no loss in three overs.
