PWI 121/7 | Overs 16 | Marsh 32* , Bhuvaneshwar 0*

PWI 95/6 | Overs 13 | Marsh 12* , Nayar 1*
Ojha was hit for a six off the first ball. The next ball went high up in the air, Rohit at long-on catches the ball comfortably. He gives hi-fi to fielding coach Jonty Rhodes. Pune are sinking.

PWI 77/5 | Overs 11 | Mathews 11* , Marsh 4*
Dhawan is getting a lot of swing. Mathews did not use his seamer Bhuvaneshwar early on. COuld the result have been any different had seamers been used early on. Dinda bowled a shocking spell. Five runs from Dhawan’s over and a lot of swing.
PWI 72/5 | Overs 10 | Mathews 9* , Marsh 1*
Pollard gets Yuvraj. That one feels is the final nail in Pune’s coffin. What a catch from Rishi Dhawan. Jonty is a proud man. Pune’s ship is sinking. Mumbai too had scored 72 off first 10 but had lost only two wickets.

PWI 22/3 | Overs 3 | Yuvraj 0*, Suman 9*

PWI 13/2 | Overs 2 | Uthappa 7*, Yuvraj 0*
Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha opened the bowling. Taylor was out run-out off the first delivery. That was disaster as far as Pune is concerned. So Pune lose two quick wickets. A partnership needed.
PWI 5/1 | Overs 1 | Uthappa 0*, Taylor 5*
A wicket off the first ball. What a delivery first up to Aarom Finch- the man in form. Mitchell Johnson was on money straight up. Ross Taylor at three is due for a big one. He creamed a boundary off the third ball. Mumbai will be happy to remove the big-hitting Finch.

MI 137/3 | Overs 17 | Rohit 33*, Pollard 2*
Dinda is having a shocking game. A six towards long-off, then a front-foot no ball which was carted over long on. The free hit delivery was a near perfect yorker. So Dinda’s three overs have gone for 47 runs. A 19-run over gives Mumbai momentum.
MI 118/3 | Overs 16 | Rohit 16*, Pollard 1*
Mitchell Marsh got the wicket of Dinesh Karthik off his first delivery – the first ball after strategic time out. A three-run over is invaluable at this time of the innings.
MI 115/2 | Overs 15 | Karthik 41*, Rohit 15*

MI 56/1 | Overs 8 | Tendulkar 40*, Karthik 1*
Yuvraj got the wicket of Ponting. The umpires were not sure. Third umpire intervened and Ponting was given marching orders. Quiet over from Yuvraj.
MI 54/0 | Overs 7 | Ponting 14*, Tendulkar 39*

MI 48/0 | Overs 6 | Ponting 12*, Tendulkar 35*
A misfield from Yuvraj, was it a chance? Guess it was. A vintage stroke from Tendulkar over mid-wicket off Sharma gets the crowd going. What a start from Mumbai.
MI 37/0 | Overs 5 | Ponting 12*, Tendulkar 24*
Pune captain Angelo Mathews gets himself on. A two-run over is a good effort. A wicket-to-wicket line. Pune captain kept it simple.

MI 11/0 | Overs 2 | Ponting 9*, Tendulkar 2*
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar got prodigious in-swing in the over. Ponting inside edged the ball past ‘keeper Uthappa and then he was beaten. A short ball spoilt the over from Kumar. Ponting unleashed his patented shot.
MI 3/0 | Overs 1 | Ponting 1*, Tendulkar 2*
Left-arm spinner, part-timer Aaron Finch to open the bowling. Surprise surprise. Mumbai would have least expected. Tendulkar tried to paddle Finch but the slow pace of the ball confounds the master. A three-run first over from Finch is a good start.
