A small target on board could be tricky, at least in a psychological sense given that history had some sour memories for the Pune franchises.

The lowest target that MI defended in their IPL history was 120 –and can you guess against who it was? Yup. Pune. In 2012. Rohit Sharma was hoping that history would repeat itself once again, but the Pune openers made sure that lightning didn’t strike at the same place twice.

Ajinkya Rahane and Faf du Plessis put in a good shift as their opening partnership put up 78 on board before breaking up in the 10th over mark—taking the game away from Mumbai.
