CRICKET NEWS - The Rising Pune Supergiant have booked their spot in the IPL final, after defeating the Mumbai Indians by 20 runs at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday evening.
On Sunday the side from Pune weren't even sure of their place in the top four, but two days later they find themselves with the first ticket to the final, after recovering from a laboured batting display thanks to an MS Dhoni blitz, before Washington Sundar's spell with the ball ruined the Mumbai top order.
This was highly unexpected seeing as RPS have lost arguably two of their best performers this season – Ben Stokes and Imran Tahir – to the ODI series between England and the Proteas next week.
Never mind the fact that the Mumbai Indians won the group stages and won the toss in their own backyard.
