	R Dravid*	c Faulkner b Harmeet Singh	28	24	3	0	116.66
	9.3 Dravid tries to slap it over the in-field but it gets only till the sweeper fielder, who moved in to take the catch. 77/1
	AM Rahane	b Faulkner	98	66	16	1	148.48
	19.3 bowled him! Misses his 100 by a couple of runs there! Slower ball and Rahane tried to go over the top of the extra-cover region, but the change of pace beat him completely and he fails to get any bat to that one. Stumps are castled. 180/4
	AL Menaria	b Chawla	0	3	0	0	0.00
	10.5 bowled! Menaria, I think has yorked himself and the stumps are lying all scattered on the ground. Chawla is pumped and Rajasthan have lost two wickets in as many overs. 87/2
	BJ Hodge	b Faulkner	21	16	1	1	131.25
	17.2 bowled him! Slower one, back of the hand stuff, and the batsman tried to play it across the line, but missed it completed and he is bowled. 162/3

	Kings XI Punjab innings (target: 192 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	AC Gilchrist*†	c Cooper b Singh	27	18	3	1	150.00
	4.1 gone this time, caught in the region between mid-on and mid-off! Slower one from Amit Singh and Gilchrist tried to smack it over the bowler but the timing was too awry for it to carry all the way and Cooper ran from mid-on to hold on to it. 36/1
	PC Valthaty	c Singh b Cooper	13	15	2	0	86.66
	5.5 gone! yep, he was playing a lot of shots and this time he has only managed to cut it away to the short third-man. Full-toss and he cuts it to the third-man, who scoops it up for himself and catches it on the second attempt. 44/2
	SE Marsh	c Dravid b Cooper	7	6	1	0	116.66
	7.2 gone! Marsh is gone, beaten by a slower delivery! He was very early into the shot and the flick shot brought about his downfall this time. The ball looped up in the air and Dravid takes a good catch, with hands outstretched! 55/3
	AM Nayar	c †Goswami b Cooper	10	10	0	1	100.00
	7.6 this is shoddy batting really. Nayar attempted a shot every ball after that wicket of Marsh and he has finally convinced himself into getting out. Top-edges the sweep and is easily caught by the wicket-keeper. 61/4
	DJ Hussey	c Cooper b Trivedi	13	10	1	0	130.00
	11.2 this was a shorter one yet again but this time he upped his pace. Hussey probably expected it to be a slower one and seemed late on it and he manages to hit to long-on, where that man Cooper catches it again! 86/5
	Mandeep Singh	b Chavan	34	25	5	0	136.00
	15.6 slog, beaten and bowled! There was nothing else that the batsman could do at this stage given the mounting required run-rate and once he missed connecting it, the ball was headed only in one direction - towards the stumps. 127/7
	Bipul Sharma	c Rahane b Chavan	18	13	2	0	138.46
	15.4 swept hard but it only looked like he had done that, the timing went totally awry there and the ball went high, not long. The fielder ran in and took a smart catch there. 123/6
	PP Chawla	b Cooper	10	8	0	1	125.00
	18.2 slower one and Cooper has bowled Chawla to get his fourth wicket. What an IPL debut for the all-rounder from Trinidad and Tobago! 143/8
	JP Faulkner	not out	11	9	0	0	122.22
	P Kumar	run out (Cooper/†Goswami)	10	6	0	1	166.66
	19.3 from Singh, driven to long-on and Praveen Kumar wanted another two, but this time the throw is at the striker's end and the keeper removes the bails before the batsman can return back to the crease. 155/9

IPL MATCH3 MI VS PW

PUNE WIN THE MATCH.
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

	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

	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
