IPL Highlights, MI vs RPS: Pune Win By 3 Runs, End Mumbai's Winning Streak

Mumbai Indians (MI) came close but failed to go the distance and win their seventh IPL match on the trot as they lost to Rising Pune Supergiant by 3 runs at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday night. It seems the Pune team is Mumbai's weak spot as they had lost to them in the first match too! While Mumbai restricted Pune to 160/6 to set up an achievable target, they lost wickets in quick succession before captain Rohit Sharma's 30th IPL half century, the first of the season, saw them close the gap considerably. Ben Stokes' (2/21) economical bowling was key in turning the game around to ruin Sachin Tendulkar's birthday party. (SCORECARD)

19:18 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the Mumbai Indians vs Rising Pune Supergiant IPL match! 

RPS, on the other hand, were looking like they would go down to another loss before Dhoni crafted one of his classic chases. The former India captain hammered 61 not out off just 34 balls as the Pune team rose from 121/4 at the beginning of the 17th over to carve out 58 runs in 3.5 overs. That win should work wonders for RPS and even MI, eying a revenge win, would be a little wary of MS Dhoni.
