Balasaheb Jadhav tightened his efforts in the defence and that helped Pune clinch an important All-Out in the 7th minute of the half to make it a two-point game. But the Jaipur defence improved their game at the right moment and from thereon Jaipur dominated the match. They inflicted another All-out on Pune with five minutes remaining as Deepak Narwal secured a Super 10.
