IPL play-offs: Rahane and Tiwari score half centuries, Pune post 162/4
Losing the toss, Pune came out to bat and failed to get a good start as they have lost the inform batsman Rahul Tripathy and the captain Steve Smith within powerplay overs.
Rahane and Tiwari pulled the scorecard from there with a partnership of 83 runs, before Rahane was dismissed by the spinner Karn Sharma.
Despite a slow start, Dhoni scored 40 runs from just 26 balls hitting only over boundaries, which helped Pune to post a target of 163 for the home team.
