Mumbai: Pune Supergiant snapped Mumbai Indians' six-match winning run as the visitors prevailed over the table-toppers by three runs in a thrilling Indian Premier League (IPL) match
Captain Rohit Sharma cracked his second half century of the IPL season but could not help Mumbai Indians from suffering a nail-biting defeat at the Wankhede Stadium.
Sharma smashed 58 off 39 balls, studded with 3 sixes and six fours, and got out in the last over to Jaydev Unadkat, who took another wicket and effected a run-out to stop MI at 157 for eight while chasing 161.
There was lot of drama towards the end with Mumbai needing 17 in the last over from Unadkat after being 144 for five
But it was Ben Stokes who held his nerve in the penultimate over that changed the course of the game. Mumbai Indians needed 24 runs from 12 deliveries and the England international was trusted by Steve Smith to bowl the crucial over. Stokes did not disappoint and gave away 7 runs.
Jaydev Unadkat had 17 runs to defend and all credits go to the richest player of IPL 2017- Ben Stokes.
