Over 13 | Score 89/3 | Tiwary 30 (29) ; Dhoni 0 (2)

Over 5 | Score 31/2 | Tiwary 5 (9) ; Rahane 23 (17)
And Mumbai Indians start off with some early wrist-spin action as Karn Sharma steps up into the attack. Fourth ball, fuller, spinning leg side as Rahane makes room to cream it down extra cover for a boundary. Just seven off the over.
Over 4 | Score 24/2 | Tiwary 3 (5) ; Rahane 18 (15)
Change in attack as another pacer steps in. It is Jasprit Bumrah in for his first over. Just four singles picked up by the duo between the wickets off the five dive deliveries faced. Single off the last ball. Pune surely need to bounce back, if they want to continue on the race.
Over 3 | Score 19/2 | Tiwary 0 (2) ; Rahane 16 (12)
And left-arm action continues with McClenaghan. Third ball, length, seams across, bit of straight as Rahane dispatches it high over mid-wicket, one bounce and over the boundary for a four.

TOSS TIME: MI win toss, elect to bowl first
Rohit Sharma and his men might have finished at the top in the points table in league stage, but they have an uphill task ahead of them after being defeated twice by Pune in tenth edition.
Pune, who put a great show to bounce back in the second half of the tournament, will be without the services of Ben Stokes and Imran Tahir - two overseas players who have been largely responsible for taking them to the play-offs. Steve Smith, Ajinkya Rahane, Mahendra Singh Dhoni will have to click as a unit to put some big runs on board in case Pune bat first.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians will be the clear favourites in today's match despite having lost two matches to Pune in the tournament previously. Jos Buttler is the only player who is missing from the squad but considering Lendl Simmons has filled in his shoes comfortably, Mumbai do not have much to ponder over.
Mumbai Indians outplayed the Kolkata Night Riders in their last league match to secure the top spot.
The side will be particularly satisfied that their bench strength clicked against KKR, providing them more options to choose from for the key clash.
There is a lot at stake as the winning team goes straight into the final to be played in Hyderabad on May 21, while the loser gets another chance in the Qualifier 2, to be played on May 19 in Bengaluru.
