Yup Pune won easily.
It's all about pacing. There are 20 overs, how do you want to play them?
Do you want to go fast at the start, hit 4s and 6s but risk losing wickets? Or go slow, keep the number of wickets low so that in the last 5-7 you can go for broke because you've got "wickets in hand".
Teams have to be very careful, when a wicket falls, a batter comes in cold off the bench and is vulnerable. It's not uncommon to see consecutive wickets fall and turn the match around.
