Presentation:

Ganguly: The pitch was dry, thought it would turn, good batting by Steven Smith. Good start alright, but it is a long tournament, 15 more matches to go.

Harbhajan: We did not rotate the strike in the middle of the innings, we did not get a good start, all credit to Dinda and Kartik. Pune was the better side.

Steven Smith has been named the man-of-the-match. Tough start, we lost a few early wickets, Robin and I decided to stay on and try and get to 140. Good job by the bowlers to defend the low score. Good way to start the tournament and we hope to carry on the momentum and it was great to play in Mumbai for the first time.

An excellent win for the Pune Warriors India, beating Mumbai Indians in Mumbai after the clinical performance shown by them against Chennai Super Kings.

Ganguly was happy to bat first after losing the toss and that proved to be one of the differences. Chasing was going to be difficult on this slow Wankhede turner and that is exactly what happened, as Mumbai Indians lost three early wickets. Without any momentum at the start of the innings, the Mumbai Indians innings stuttered away and never found their way out of trouble. Credit to Uthappa and Smith's 30s when Pune batted and Dinda's four-wicket haul.

19.6
1
Dinda to Patel, 1 run

defended clumsily but that will do for Pune, they have won by 29 runs on a slow Wankhede pitch.

30 off 1 needed. Dinda on four wickets.

19.5
Dinda to Patel, no run

pitched up again and he drives to the covers for no run. Can Dinda get his fifth wicket?

19.4
W
Dinda to Harbhajan, OUT

gone, plumb in front of the wickets! Harbhajan went for an expansive slog over the mid-wicket region, but he misses and that one hits the back-foot.

Harbhajan Singh lbw b Dinda 16 (15b 2x4 0x6 19m) SR: 106.66
19.3
Dinda to Harbhajan, no run

yorker-length and Harbhajan smashes it back to long-on. Refuses the single again.

19.2
4
Dinda to Harbhajan, FOUR runs

slower one and that is spanked away by Harbhajan Singh between long-on and mid-wicket. Too little, too late.

19.1
Dinda to Harbhajan, no run

Full-toss and Harbhajan tries to smack it away but can only manage to get it to long-on. Refuses the single.

Dinda to bowl the last over.

Parnell to Ojha, no run

bouncer to finish off his spell! Ojha lets that one go to the wicket-keeper.

18.5
W
Parnell to Malinga, OUT

gone! Caught-behind! That was pitched up to the batsman and Malinga went for a drive, got only the outside-edge and he is easily taken by Uthappa.

Lasith Malinga c †Uthappa b Parnell 5 (3b 1x4 0x6 7m) SR: 166.66

They need a four every ball and then they need some more.

Parnell to Malinga, FOUR runs

yorker and edged away from the bottom of the bat to the fence.

18.3
1
Parnell to Harbhajan, 1 run

this time he finally gets bat on to it but only a single to the extra-cover fielder.

18.2
Parnell to Harbhajan, no run

fullish on the off-stump and that's very well-bowled. Harbhajan fails to connect.

18.1
Parnell to Harbhajan, no run

swings hard and misses.

and another one in he blockhole to finish off his third over. Dug out by Harbhajan and he will keep strike with that single. He has conceded 13 from his three.

17.5
1
Dinda to Malinga, 1 run

full, on the off-stump and Malinga swings. Gets the bottom of the bat and it trickles down to long-on for a run.

Lasith Malinga's in.

17.4
1
Dinda to Harbhajan, 1 run

yorker-length and Harbhajan drills it to the long-on region for a single.

17.3
W
Dinda to Franklin, OUT

that is an excellent catch by Ferguson at mid-wicket as Franklin tries to pull the ball away. In the process, he does not hit the middle of the bat, which also flies out of his hands. He has probably not played a stroke in anger for a long time and it showed there...

James Franklin c Ferguson b Dinda 32 (42b 1x4 0x6 76m) SR: 76.19
17.2
1
Dinda to Harbhajan, 1 run

slower one outside the off-stump. Harbhajan was shaping up for the yorker and he had to check his shot and drive it away to the deep cover region for only a run.

17.1
2
Dinda to Harbhajan, 2 runs

full-pitched and dug out well for a single. Oh but wait, there is an overthrow and Harbhajan dives hard into his crease to get back for two. Ganguly is furious.

Unless Mumbai Indians get a miracle of the proportions of what Lasith Malinga conjured up in that Champions League T20 game against Chennai last season, this match is headed only one way.
