Pune 140-4 (18 ovs) vs Punjab | SCORECARD
Mohit comes back as Smith looks to pull the first ball but misses and takes a leg bye. Du Plessis smashes the second ball over mid-off for a four before he smashes the next ball straight to the fielder for a single.
Smith then pulls a short ball awkwardly, like a tennis forehand shot, for two runs to long-on.
However, Mohit foxes him the slower ball as he holes out to sweeper cover to be dismissed for a quickfire 38 from 26 balls, which helped Pune take the momentum in the middle overs.
Du Plessis takes a single from the last ball to retain strike.
Pune will need a few boundaries from Dhoni to give their innings the much-needed blast in the death overs.
