Match 42 IPL 2013 –Pune Warriors vs Chennai Super Kings
Date – Tue Apr 30
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune

Today in the 42nd match of Pepsi IPL Season 6, Pune Warriors India will take on Chennai Super Kings at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium. Both teams have played 9 matches so far but PWI and CSK have both played nine matches but the ranking in points table is totally opposite. Chennai Super Kings who sit comfortably on the first position will be hoping to sustain that position with a win today where as Pune who lying in bottom four will be hoping to change fortunes with this match.

Chennai who are on a roll will be once again relying on their batting power. With the likes of Michael Hussey who is the second top scorer in IPL 2013 and players like Raina, Dhoni and Brawo, Pune have a real difficult task at hand.

The biggest problem for Pune Warriors has been the lack of consistency by the top order. Only Aaron Finch has been consistent so far but has not got the support from others like Robin Uthappa and Yuvraj Singh.

The bottom line is that Pune have a real difficult task to beat Chennai but if their batting clicks, they can surely make CSK run for their money.

Match 39 IPL 2013 – Delhi Daredevils vs Pune Warriors
Date – Sun Apr 28
Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – International Cricket Stadium, Raipur
Toss – Pune Warriors elected to field.
Result – Delhi Daredevils won by 15 runs

Today in the 39th match of IPL 2013, Pune Warriors won the toss and elected to field first. Delhi Daredevils openers Mahela Jayawardene and Virender Sehwag added 20 runs in 4.1 overs for the first wicket stand. Mahela Jayawardene got out after scoring just 12 off 17 balls. Virender Sehwag and Unmukt Chand then took the team score past 50. Virender Sehwag was the next to fall as he scored 28 of 26 balls. Within the same over, Unmukt Chand also got out leaving Delhi at 68/3 in 10.2 overs. Then came David Warner who from the very first ball went all guns blazing. He scored brilliant 51 off 25 balls which included 4 fours and 4 sixes. It was his cameo which helped Delhi post a decent total of 164/5 in 20 overs.

Chasing 165 to win, Pune opened with Robin Uthappa and man in form Aaron Finch. The duo played well and added 76 runs for the first wicket partnership. In the 11th over, they both fell to Pathan after scoring 37 each. But they had laid a solid platform for the coming batsmen. Yuvraj Singh and Luke Wrigh then steadily took the team score past 100. The required rate was increasing rapidly but some good bowling by Delhi never allowed Pune easy runs. Twin blow in the 18th over sealed the fate of the match in Delhi’s favor as they won it by 15 runs.

Time – 8:00 pm i.e 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – International Cricket Stadium, Raipur

Today in the 39th match of Pepsi Indian Premier League, Delhi Daredevils will take on Pune Warriors India at International Cricket Stadium, Raipur.

Delhi who had a dismal season so far with just 1 win in eight matches are desperate for a win today as with each match lost, the chances to qualify are diminishing.

On the other hand Pune Warriors India would be hoping to erase the Gayle Storm they witnessed in their last match and would be hoping for a good win today to boost the morale of the team.

The strength of Delhi Daredevils is batting. With hitters like Virender Sehwag, David Warner and skipper Mahela Jayawardene, its the best team on papers but the problem has been none of these have been in runs. Pune too has players like Yuvraj Singh, Aaron Finch and Robin Uthappa who are known as hard hitters of the ball. But apart from Aaron Finch, none has been able to play upto their complete potential.

The bottom line is that today match is basically between the hard hitters and the ones who will perform will keep the hopes alive for their team.

Match 31 IPL 2013 –Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Pune Warriors
Date – Tue Apr 23
Time – 4:00 pm i.e 10:30 GMT | 16:00 IST
Venue – M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
Toss – Pune elected to field
Result – Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 130 runs.
Man of the Match – Chris Gayle

Today in the 31st match of Pepsi IPL 2013, Pune Warriors won the toss and invited Royal Challengers Bangalore to bat first. They had no clue of the Gayle Storm which were to attack them. Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan added 167 runs in 13.4 overs for the first wicket stand before Tillakaratne Dilshan got out after scoring 33. Gayle completed the fastest hundred in just T20 format as it took him just 30 balls to reach 100. Chris Gayle remained unbeaten on 175 off 66 balls and thus RCB posted a huge total of 263/5 in 20 overs.

Chasing an impossible target of 264, Pune Warriors got off to the worst possible start as they lost Robin Uthappa on the second ball of the innings when the scorecard read zero. Most successful Pune batsman, Aaron Finch also got out in the 5th over soon followed by Luke Wright and Yuvraj Singh. Pune were struggling at 42/4 in 5.4 overs before Steven Smith and Mitchell Marsh steadied the innings and took the score to 100. The run rate was far above the achievable mark and Pune batsmen in an attempt to get even close to it kept failing. Steven Smith top scored with 41 but the target was way to much and finally Pune could manage to score just 133/9 and thus lost the match by 130 runs.

Venue – M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

Today in the 31st match of IPL Season 6, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Pune Warriors India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. RCB who have won 5 out of 7 matches will be eying another win today to get on top of points table where as Pune has just 2 wins out of 7 and thus need to win this match to increase the points tally.

RCB who are high on morale with back to back wins will be relying much on the likes of Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli in the batting department.In bowling the unsung hero R Vinay Kumar holds the purple cap and will be the key bowler for RCB.

Pune on the other hand have problems in plenty, when the batsmen play well, the bowlers fumble and vice versa. In the last match against Punjab, they failed to defend 186 and against Sunrisers they failed to chase down 120. Also stats reveal how badly they had performed against RCB. They have lost all the three matches played against RCB so far and thus this will be stat they wish to change today.
