IPL 2017: Qualifier 1 Highlights: Mumbai Vs Pune; MS Dhoni takes RPS into final

It was the third encounter between the two teams and Pune edged past Mumbai on all three occasions in the tournament this year.

Chasing a target of 163 on a tricky Wankhede Stadium strip, Mumbai could only score 149/9 in the stipulated 20 overs.

Earlier, Pune rode on fine half-centuries from Manoj Tiwary and Ajinkya Rahane to post 162/4 after being invited to bat first by Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma.


Here are the highlights from the Qualifier 1 between MI & RPS:

# Rising Pune Supergiant will now play the final in the second year since it's inception.

# Pune have defeated Mumbai third time in IPL 2017.

# MS Dhoni has become the first cricketer to play in 7 IPL finals, most by any.

# Pune were short of their two most bankable players i.e. Ben Stokes and Imran Tahir.

# Washington Sundar was the pick of the bowlers for RPS as he finished with 3/16.

# Sundar was also awarded man of the match for his excellent bowling figures.

# Sundar (17 years) became the youngest Man of the Match in the IPL history.

# Pune pacer Shardul Thakur finished with 3/37 and troubled Mumbai at the death overs.

# MI opener Parthiv Patel scored 50 off 42 balls and held the fort from his end in Mumbai's run chase.

# Six Mumbai batsmen, including Malinga and Bumrah (both remained unbeaten), failed to touch the double figure mark in the innings.

# Rohit Sharma was dismissed LBW for 1, however he was unlucky as TV replays showed there was an inside edge with his bat.

# Jasprit Bumrah (16*) was the second highest scorer for Mumbai.

# 3,000 runs for Ajinkya Rahane in the IPL.

# Rahane departed after scoring 43-ball 56.

# MSDhoni - 40 off 26 & Manoj Tiwary 58 off 48 take RPS to 162/2.

# Dhoni's knock was studded with six massive sixes.

# That six in the final over against Jasprit Bumrah was his first ever maximum against the MI bowler in the IPL.

# Tiwary showed his class as he smashed a 48-ball 58.

# Tiwary put up two fifty-run stands with Ajinkya Rahane and later with MS Dhoni.

# Pune were a precarious 9/2 after the second over.

# 80 runs were added for the third wicket between Rahane and Tiwary.

# 73-run stand between Dhoni and Tiwary for the fourth wicket.

# Dhoni smashed 40 off 26 to take the side to a healthy total.

# Pune lost in-form Rahul Tripathi (0) and Steve Smith (1) in the opening two overs.

# Only five batsmen have hit Krunal Pandya for more than eight runs an over this season.

# Final two overs yielded 41 runs for Pune.
