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

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.
