The side with the poorest recent record in IPL pulled off what is in the main considered to be the competition toughest assignment a victory over Chennai Super Kings at Chennai.
Pune Warriors, without Yuvraj Singh and skipper Angelo Mathews, managed specifically that on Monday night by a margin of 24 runs. The visiting side 1st posted 159 through bursts at the top and bottom of the order and then limited Chennai to 135/8 in the chase, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar came up with a stand out performance with the new ball.
The young Indian seamer returned figures of 4-1-12-2, the scalps coming early on in Chennai chase. Pune had earlier been served well by opener Aaron Finch 45-ball 67 and Steven Smith, who returned to the team and contributed a fast fire 39 and three smart catches in the deep.
