Pune: Steven Smith's first T20 century went in vain as Gujarat Lions beat Rising Pune Supergiants by three wickets off the last ball at the MCA stadium here yesterday.

Smith hammered 101 from 54 balls (8x4, 5x6) to help Supergiants to 195 for 3, but the hosts' inaccurate bowling did them in once again. Smith's century was nullified by the Lions' opening duo — Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith—who scored 93 runs in eight overs. Some costly errors from the hosts' bowlers (read Ashoke Dinda, Thisara Perera) at the death allowed Lions to get past the Supergiants total off the final ball of the game.
