Venue – Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune

Today in the 46th match of IPL 2013, Pune Warriors will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium. Pune who are placed at the bottom of the points table with just 2 wins out of 10 will be needing all their strength to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore who are among top four teams in points tally.

The biggest worry for Pune will be how to tackle Chris Gayle, The West Indians smashed the fastest T20 century and the highest T20 score of 175 in the match against Pune earlier in this season. Pune bowlers will be hoping to get rid of him as soon as possible as if he stays, the match will be taken away in a matter of few overs.

But the problems for Royal Challengers Bangalore are also not over. Though they are among top four teams but they are yet to win a match away from home. In their last two encounters away, they lost to Mumbai and Rajasthan.

As per IPL stats, out of four matches played between Pune Warriors India and Royal Challengers Bangalore, RCB has won all four and this is where Pune would like to take a revenge today.
