#3 Bad Start
Chasing a small total, RPS could’ve hoped for a better start as the target was small and a good power-play could have defused the enthusiasm of the Mumbai Indians. However, Rahul Tripathi got a very rough LBW decision. He has been the aggressor and his departure slowed Pune drastically.
Although Pune didn’t lose any more wickets in the power-play and Krunal put down a sitter to let Rahane off, they scored just 38 runs. Eventually, that robbed them of their momentum and cost them a match that was theirs to lose.
Pune reached only 58 for 1 in the 10th over, allowing MI through the door when they should have attacked and shut it much earlier.
