[MENTION=136466]Khyam[/MENTION] you guys are killing us at the moment :))

Ramiz Raja in the studio giving is expert views on the current situation of the match.

Ramiz Raja: I think it's a great start from the Pune boys they will definitely need to continue scoring at this rate and try to get the total to 200 +. They have a lot of batting to come so I think 200 is very much possible.
 
Ramiz Raja: The Cobras will need to restrict Pune to 180 to have any chance to win this match. They definitely have the bowling to restrict them but it looks tough as Pune have a lot quality batsman to come.

Jonty Rodhes: You are absolutely right Ramiz, but I think anything less than 200 here might be chaseable for Cobras. The last time these two met, it was a very close match.

Still great start for the Pune boys and the Cobras will certainly be under some pressure.

Hmmm big score put up.

Need our batsmen to fire up big time. It doesn't look like there is much in the wicket for the bowlers.
 
Jonty Rodhes: Great score put up by Pune, but the Cobras have a pretty decent batting line-up too. This should be a fun chase.
 
Ramiz: Well like I said before 200 was the score Pune needed to get and they have done that beautifully. Pune will definitely be happy with the total, their batsman delivered when they needed to the most.

Ramiz: Now it's all up to their bowlers to come and bowl beautifully and defend this total. It will be tough as the Cobras have quality batsman. The first time when these two sides met I remember Greame Smith took the Pune bowlers to the cleaners... I mean he was absolutely outstanding on the day and the Cobras would want him to do the same again.

Thank You Ramiz and Jonty.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Pune Warriors will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Pune Warriors proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
