Mumbai Indians defended a small total of 120 and dashed Pune Warriors' hopes of scoring a second victory against it in the DLF-IPL-V and won by one run at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium here on Thursday.
The match swung like a pendulum after Michael Clarke and Steven Smith fell to off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha by the 10th over.
