Mumbai Indians 160 for 7 (Suman 36, Rahul 2-7) beat Pune Warriors 139 for 7 (Pandey 59, Malinga 3-25) by 21 runs
Pune Warriors India's unhappy form sustained as they succumb to their seventh without delay loss in a 21-run beat to Mumbai Indians. Mumbai were at first grateful to back-end cameos from Tirumalasetti Suman (36) and Kieron Pollard (28) for stretch their total to 160, after starting the 16th over at just 97.
They fare much better with the ball - Lasith Malinga took three for 25 - as Pune stutter to 84 for four and ultimately ran out of overs to play in spite of Manish Pandey's 59 off 47 balls and Robin Uthappa's 34. Sent in to bat, Aiden Blizzard could not make the most of his recollect, out early for just six, but Captain Sachin Tendulkar and Ambati Rayudu (27) help Mumbai keep a stable grip.
It desirable a headfirst catch from Jesse Ryder to send away Tendulkar for 24 after a 40-run stand, and skipper Yuvraj Singh had a second in his after that over as Rayudu holed out to long-off. Rohit Sharma was next to depart, follow a few overs later by Suman, whose brave 36 integrated three boundaries and as many sixes.
Pollard then provides the late firework with his 21-ball salvo - he was dismissing on the final ball - as Mumbai picked up 46 off the last three overs. Pune's batting was nervous at the start as Ryder departed first ball to Harbhajan Singh and Graeme Smith was oust in the fourth over by Munaf Patel's bouncer.
Pandey attempt to keep Pune in the chase but establish little support at the other end, as Abhishek Jhunjhunwala (10) and Yuvraj (20) fell to Pollard and Malinga in that order. Pandey ultimately got to his half-century in 43 deliveries courtesy of a few big hits late on, but Malinga's 19th-over double hit detached him and Mithun Manhas as Pune fell short having reach 139.
