I don't think what you're trying to do is possible.

IIS 7 does not support wild cards for host entries. The host entry is what links the request to a specific server root.

You can manually add host entries for each city you want to support.

My advice would be a tradition url rewrite so that you can support:

www.xyz.com/pune
www.xyz.com/london
