Chasing a meager 113, MI lost Dwayne Smith (0) off the very first ball of the run-chase as Ashoke Dinda sent his off-stump cart-wheeling. Sachin Tendulkar smashed Dinda for two boundaries in the third over. However, Ajantha Mendis cut short his stay at the crease as he had him caught by Manish Pandey at long-on. Dinesh Karthik continued with a six and a boundary off Kane Richardson as MI made 37 from their Power-Play.

Yuvraj Singh then struck having Karthik (17) caught by Pandey to leave MI three down in the eighth over. At the halfway stage, MI were 50 for three, still requiring 63 more runs.

Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma steadied the innings adding 54 runs for fourth wicket. Rayudu launched Yuvraj over the ropes in the 15th over, leaving MI needing 30 off the last five overs. Dinda was hit for consecutive boundaries by Sharma, but the bowler came back well to have Rayudu (26) caught in the deep by Angelo Mathews. MI’s Million-dollar man Glenn Maxwell (13*) then got stuck into Dinda as he hit the bowler for a boundary and six in the 18th over. Richardson dismissed Sharma (37) but Harbhajan Singh (4*) saw MI reach the target with seven deliveries remaining.

Earlier PWI won the toss and elected to bat. Aaron Finch got PWI going with two boundaries off Abu Nechim in the second over. Mitchell Johnson got the initial breakthrough for MI having Finch (10) caught by Smith at short cover. Lasith Malinga then struck trapping Robin Uthappa (11) leg before wicket as PWI made 36 from the Power-Play.

Yuvraj went after Ojha depositing the left-arm spinner over the mid-wicket fence off consecutive deliveries. Manish Pandey (29) was caught in the deep by Rayudu off Malinga in the 13th over. PWI then lost Mathews (2) run out off a direct hit by Tendulkar. Yuvraj (33) was given out LBW off Harbhajan a couple balls later to leave PWI five down in the 14th over. PWI struggled to find the boundary and Richardson (8) perished trying to clear Johnson over the fence. PWI lost Abhishek Nayar (11) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2) in the final over as they eventually made 112 for eight.

Post-match presentation: 

Aaron Finch: "I thought we had a really good start, through that middle part wuth Yuvi and Pandey, but quick wickets didn't help, if we had 20 runs more we could have squeezed them a bit. We got three days off now before we play KKR in Ranchi."

Rohit Sharma: "All credit goes to the boys, whatever changes I have made on the field, they are responding very well, it is really working out very well for me. We should carry the same momentum."

Man of the Match and contender for bowler of the season is Mitchell Johnson: "definitely enjoying myself, we haven't bowled first in a while, it was nice to get out there and bowl first. You had to bowl a little bit shorter on this slow wicket, I think being a fast bowler you have to try being intimidating. Being a fast bowler is all about mixing it up."

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
