A video of Pune Warrirors India’s batsman Jesse Ryder and his innings of 86 runs off only 58 balls while Sourav Ganguly who had failed in six previous matches contributed 41. Their second wicket partnership of 93 was the foundation on which Pune built their innings after being put into bat.
Ryder hit seven fours and four sixes in his innings. Not to forget young Smith's cameo of 34 from only 13 deliveries (4x4, 2x6) towards the end also helped in beefing up the total.
Smith hit two fours and two sixes in the 18th over from Shahbaz Nadeem (0/44 from 4 overs) that yielded 23 runs as Pune, who have not batted well consistently so far in the tournament, put up a fighting total.
At the start, the first few scoring shots from Ryder were all mishits but did give him the desired results. The first six that he hit off Morne Morkel was over third-man when he wanted to hit over extra-cover.
That was followed by a 'Chinese-cut' that went past wicketkeeper to the fine leg fence. The second hit was a mistimed hook that went for a six. The first boundary he got off the middle of the bat was over mid-wicket off Morkel.
