The Indian Premier
League (IPL) : Today the match begins with Pune Warriors clashing with
Deccan Chargers at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune. Deccan Chargers looking
first point of the tournament.On the other hand,Pune Warriors have four wins
and they have nicked points off strong units.
Pune Warriors : Warriors will be relieved to see Manish
Pandey grab his chance at the top of the order and make some runs. With Jesse
Ryder, Robin Uthappa and Steven Smith already in good form. There batting is
going well as their bowling department.
Alfonso Thomas' figures in the two games that he has played
stand at 6-0-36-3. These six overs have all been bowled at Delhi Daredevils'
batsmen. Against a misfiring Chargers batting line-up, he could be potentially
more dangerous than Steyn.For batsmen who have scored more than 1000 runs in
IPL, Sourav Ganguly is the slowest, with a strike-rate of 108.43. He's in good
form.
Pune Warriors squad :
SC Ganguly(C), ER Dwivedi, MJ Clarke, AB
Dinda, CJ Ferguson, RV Gomez, Harpreet Singh, DS Jadhav, Kamran Khan, M Kartik,
HH Khadiwale, B Kumar, NL McCullum, AP Majumdar, M Manhas, AD Mathews, MD
Mishra, AG Murtaza, A Nehra, MK Pandey, WD Parnell, S Rana, JD Ryder, MN
Samuels, R Sharma, GC Smith, SPD Smith, Tamim Iqbal, AC Thomas, K Upadhyay, RV
Uthappa, SB Wagh, LJ Wright
Deccan Chargers :
After five successive losses, is all
that it takes to lift a team. They are looking for their first win against Pune
Warriors. For Chargers, the batting needs to come together fairly soon. Apart
from Shikhar Dhawan, who has scored 208 runs, no one else has even managed 100
runs in the tournament.
Kumar Sangakkara and JP Duminy are more than capable of
scoring big. Cameron White has not looked comfortable this season, which means
Daniel Christian could be back. Chargers' bowling has looked sharp whenever
Dale Steyn has bowled, but there has been a lack of support at the other end.
Batting and bowling problems aside, Chargers' coach Darren Lehmann will hope
the fielders hold on to whatever comes their way.
Deccan Chargers squad
: KC Sangakkara(C), A Ashish Reddy, Anand Rajan, Ankit Sharma, T Atchuta
Rao, AA Bhandari, DM Bravo, B Chipli, DT Christian, KH Devdhar, S Dhawan, JP
Duminy, MS Gony, DJ Harris, IR Jaggi, AA Jhunjhunwala, CA Lynn, A Mishra, T
Mishra, PA Patel†, V Pratap Singh, SA Quadri, DB Ravi Teja, PA Reddy, BB
