Pune squeezed out a three-run victory over Mumbai Indians in an exciting experience, on account of some compelling knocking down some pins by Ben Stokes and Jaydev Unadkat at the passing.

Opener Rahul Tripathi’s batting has likewise supported their battle. The 26-year-old from Maharashtra thought of scores of 31, 59 and 45 in the last three matches.

Former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni too demonstrated his vintage shape with a shining 61 not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Knight Riders will be without Nathan Coulter-Nile, who in their last game played bowled Royal Challengers Bangalore out for 49 which is the most minimal total score in IPL history. The 29-year old bowler has not made a trip with the team to Pune, with skipper Gautam Gambhir citing to workload administration as the reason.

Coulter-Nile’s nonappearance implies either Shakib Al Hasan or Trent Boult could come back to the group. Colin de Grandhomme hasn’t terminated with the bat yet his three-wicket pull on Sunday has supported his odds of holding his place.
