Pune have a 2-1 head to head record against Mumbai at the Wankhede Stadium. However, with their ongoing form, can Pune emerge victorious in this tie is the million dollar question? It is certainly not going to be an easy task for Pune, as Mumbai have been in top form and is evident with the hosts being at the top of the points table. The momentum is firmly with the home team at the moment.

As for Pune, they won a thriller, with Dhoni coming back to form, and striking an unbeaten 61, while Rahul Tripathi struck a commendable 59.
