An Andrew Tye hattrick and a vintage display of power hitting by Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum secured Gujarat’s first win of the 2017 campaign. Steve Smith marked his return to the side with a 28-ball 43, but a lower order collapse resulted in Pune managing a sub par score of 171.
Brief scores: Rising Pune Supergiants 171/8 (Steve Smith 43, Rahul Tripathi 33; Andrew Tye 5/17, Dwayne Smith 1/10) lost to Gujarat Lions 172/3 (Brendon McCullum 49, Dwayne Smith 47; Shardul Thakur 1/14, Rahul Chahar 1/26) by 7 wickets.
