| 4.1 : 4.1: S Aravind to R Tripathi, SIX! Stand and deliver! Fuller delivery just outside off. Tripathi stays in his crease, says welcome to Aravind and smacks his downtown for half a dozen. |
| 5.1: Y Chahal to R Tripathi, FOUR! Good shot! Floated around off, Tripathi makes room and cuts it through the cover-point region. Two fielders give it a chase but the ball wins the race to the fence. |

| 8.2 : 8.2: P Negi to R Tripathi, OUT! Tripathi has to walk back! Fires this one outside off, Tripathi goes for the cut. Gets an edge to it and the ball goes straight to the keeper. Kedar Jadhav makes no mistake and Virat Kohli is a happy man as he had dropped him earlier. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: P Negi to M Tiwary, FOUR! Another one to get off the mark with a boundary! Down the leg side, Tiwary sweeps it fine through the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 11.3: S Badree to S Smith, SIX! Oh, what a shot! He's connected and connected so well. Flighted delivery on off, Steven Smith leans ahead and gives this the full swing of his bat. Gets it right off the meat and sends it sailing into the mid-wicket stands for a maximum. |

| 16.1 : 16.1: A Milne to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Uses the pace of the bowler and just dispatches this. Back of a length well outside off, width on offer and Dhoni flays this. Rockets past the diving point fielder and away to the fence for a boundary. |

| 17.3 : 17.3: S Aravind to MS Dhoni, SIX! BANG! That's hit hard and hit flat! Full and it's in Dhoni's slot, he stands his ground and murders this straight back down the ground. The two fielders in the deep have no chance of stopping it as the ball crashes into the sight screen for a maximum. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: A Milne to M Tiwary, FOUR! Streaky runs for Pune but they won't mind, as long as they keep coming. Milne fires this full and fast around off, Manoj Tiwary swings and gets an inside edge past the off pole, through the left of the keeper for a boundary. |
| 19.4: S Aravind to M Tiwary, FOUR! That's not exactly a bad ball but Manoj Tiwary has gotten the runs for it. Cutter from Aravind, Tiwary is early to close his bat face and gets it off the splice which somehow rolls away past the diving short third man fielder. It races away to the third man fence for a boundary. |

| 4.4: L Ferguson to de Villiers, OUT! Another failure for AB! Length delivery outside off, AB de Villiers stays in his crease and drives it straight towards the fielder at short cover. Manoj Tiwary takes a sharp catch to end de Villiers' stay in the middle. Again a match where the top-order hasn't performed to expectations. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: D Christian to K Jadhav, FOUR! Excellent placement! A bit short outside off, Jadhav shuffles a bit across and pulls it just over the wide mid on region for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: L Ferguson to K Jadhav, OUT! What has happened there? Silly calling from both the players in the middle. Length delivery outside off, Jadhav cuts it towards the fielder at point. Kohli takes off for a single but Jadhav sends him back. Rahane, the fielder has a shy at the non-striker's end. The bowler fumbles a bit and the ball goes behind him. Jadhav runs for the overthrow but it is too late till Kohli turns. He sends him back but the bowler is quick to reach the ball. Jadhav is stranded a |
| 8.4: W Sundar to S Baby, OUT! Smith, you beauty! Spinning into the batsman from outside leg, Baby clips it towards the fielder at short mid-wicket. Smith dives forward and takes a catch. He himself is not sure whether he has taken it or not. The umpire goes upstairs to check. After having a long and hard look at several replays, the TV umpire doesn't have conclusive evidence to overturn the on-fielder umpire. The soft signal was out and that stays. Another Bangalore batsman bites the dust. Kohl |
| 9.5 : 9.5: L Ferguson to S Binny, OUT! Another wicket goes down! Short delivery into the batsman, Binny goes for the pull. Gets a top edge to it and the ball flies towards the fielder at fine leg. Sundar gets under it and takes a good well judged catch. Half the Bangalore side are down. |
| 12.4 : 12.4: I Tahir to P Negi, OUT! Tossed up outside off, it's the wrong 'un and Pawan Negi lofts this down the ground. Doesn't get any real power behind it, no elevation either and it's straight down the throat of Daniel Christian at long off who takes an easy catch. Another wicket down for Bangalore, they're in deep here. They need 97 off 44 to win here. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: I Tahir to A Milne, OUT! TAHIR STRIKES AGAIN! And it's the googly that does the trick. Rather soft dismissal really. Turning in on middle and leg, on a length, Milne goes back and whips it straight to Steven Smith at short mid-wicket who takes a good catch. Bangalore need 87 off 30, it's looking quite bleak for them. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: I Tahir to V Kohli, SIX! Flat, short and turning in as it's the googly, dispatches the half-tracker with absolute power. Rocks back and pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. He brings up his fifty with that as well. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: I Tahir to S Badree, OUT! Bowled 'em! Tossed up on off, full and straight as Badree looks to go big downtown. Misses and the stumps are rocked. Imran Tahir gets his third, he's been superb today. |
| 17.5: D Christian to V Kohli, OUT! Virat Kohli's lone resistance has finally come to an end. Full and outside off, Kohli off the toe end just lofts it over covers. It flies towards the substitute fielder Mayank Agarwal who takes a well-judged catch. Safe to say now if it wasn't obvious enough, Bangalore's hopes of winning this match have been crushed. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: D Christian to S Aravind, FOUR! Pune won't mind this one bit as that won't be enough. Sreenath Aravind smacks it over the covers and gets a boundary. PUNE WIN BY 61 RUNS! |
