SCORECARD

	Pune Warriors innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	MK Pandey	b Malinga	0	5	0	0	0.00
	0.5 Bowled him! Slower one and it looked like the four dot balls seemed to have worked on the batsman's mind. He went for a forceful shot over the leg-side but he missed it completely and Malinga's delivery sneaked through the defences! 0/1
	SC Ganguly*	st †Karthik b Harbhajan Singh	3	6	0	0	50.00
	3.4 gone, gone! Ganguly is a goner, trying to go down the track after he had done that in Harbhajan's last over as well but he misses it completely and Dinesh Karthik does the rest. 15/2
	WD Parnell	b Patel	11	14	2	0	78.57
	4.5 Bowled him! Munaf Patel has a wicket in his first over of this season! Parnell tried to go for an expansive drive and the ball was nowhere close to that length. It took a bit of an inside edge to go with some seam movement inside and the bails were dislodged. 27/3
	RV Uthappa†	c & b Pollard	36	33	3	0	109.09
	15.1 slower one and that has got the break through that the side needed! Uthappa tried to swing it away to the leg-side but got only a leading edge and that went high in the air before the bowler came under it and gobbled it up with ease. 91/5
	CJ Ferguson	run out (Sharma)	12	13	1	0	92.30
	8.5 from Pollard, gone this time! run-out! Harbhajan may have dropped the catch off the previous ball but this is super stuff from the Mumbai Indians. The batsman drove into the covers and went off for a single, Rohit Sharma was at the edge of the circle and he took an aim at the striker's end. It hits direct and Ferguson is gone! 47/4
	SPD Smith	c Pollard b Patel	39	32	4	0	121.87
	19.3 Slower one again and Smith waited for its arrival before smacking it away. But it also went straight to Pollard at the deep mid-wicket region, who pulls it off rather easily! 128/8
	MN Samuels	b Malinga	4	4	0	0	100.00
	16.2 block-hole and bowled! Malinga, barring that CB series to an extent, bowls these at will, and he has done it again. Samuels tried to give himself some room but failed to get his bat down in time and the ball has done its damage to the stumps. 102/6
	B Kumar	b Ojha	2	4	0	0	50.00
	17.2 what a ball! This one has pitched on the leg-stump and the new-comer had no clue after it turned and bounced on him. Beaten, bowled and bye-bye! 105/7
	M Kartik	not out	14	9	1	1	155.55
	R Sharma	run out (†Karthik/Pollard)	0	0	0	0	-
	19.6 Patel to Kartik, this he gives himself room and drives it through the covers. One is easily had and Kartik is content with it, Rahul Sharma wants a second - and why not - but he is sent back. Dinesh Karthik gets the throw and is far away from the stumps, but he does well to throw down the wickets from about a yard or so away. 129/9
	Extras	(lb 5, w 3)	8
	Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs)	129	(6.45 runs per over)

	15.1 to Uthappa, slower one and that has got the break through that the side needed! Uthappa tried to swing it away to the leg-side but got only a leading edge and that went high in the air before the bowler came under it and gobbled it up with ease. 91/5
	JEC Franklin	1	0	12	0	12.00

	Mumbai Indians innings (target: 130 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	RE Levi	st †Uthappa b Kartik	0	2	0	0	0.00
	0.2 what a ball that was, bamboozled Levi, it was moving away from him, comes forward a bit and looks to punch it back to the bowler, stumped in a flash, brilliant stuff from Uthappa 0/1
	AT Rayudu	c Kartik b Dinda	1	2	0	0	50.00
	1.1 slightly outside off, cracks it off the meat of tha bat towards point but straight to Karthik at point, Mumbai are ina spot of bother here 2/2
	RG Sharma	c †Uthappa b Dinda	1	6	0	0	16.66
	1.6 GONE!, what a way to get out! well outside off. Chases it and gets an outside edge 5/3
	JEC Franklin	c Ferguson b Dinda	32	42	1	0	76.19
	17.3 that is an excellent catch by Ferguson at mid-wicket as Franklin tries to pull the ball away. In the process, he does not hit the middle of the bat, which also flies out of his hands. He has probably not played a stroke in anger for a long time and it showed there... 88/7
	KD Karthik†	st †Uthappa b Kartik	32	32	4	1	100.00
	10.5 gone! Stumped! Kartik's got Karthik! It was short once again but this time it was because the batsman was coming down the pitch and he misses totally. Uthappa, behind the stumps has done a good job of it. 54/4
	SA Yadav	b Samuels	0	4	0	0	0.00
	12.2 sneaks through and he is bowled! Yadav is bowled, quick ball, no turn and Samuels has sent Suryakumar Yadav back. 64/5
	KA Pollard	b Sharma	8	11	0	0	72.72
	15.6 Bowled him! Last ball of Rahul Sharma's spell, quicker one and that has gone through the defences of Pollard! It was one of those Anil Kumble-like fizzers that left most batsmen struggling to pick. 77/6
	Harbhajan Singh*	lbw b Dinda	16	15	2	0	106.66
	19.4 gone, plumb in front of the wickets! Harbhajan went for an expansive slog over the mid-wicket region, but he misses and that one hits the back-foot. 100/9
	SL Malinga	c †Uthappa b Parnell	5	3	1	0	166.66
	18.5 gone! Caught-behind! That was pitched up to the batsman and Malinga went for a drive, got only the outside-edge and he is easily taken by Uthappa. 96/8
