MATCH PREVIEW: DECCAN CHARGERS V PUNE WARRIORS ON MAY 1, 2012 – 42ND MATCH OF 2012 IPL

Deccan Chargers and Pune Warriors are facing once again tomorrow after playing against each other on April 26 at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune. Tomorrow’s match will be played at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack from 4.00 PM onwards. This match is of great importance for Pune Warriors because they are eyeing for revenge in this match because last time Deccan took over them by 18 runs.

Deccan Chargers got their first victory in this IPL on April 26, when they got a great opportunity to score a good total of 177 and their bowlers also did a great job to restrict Pune within 159. Cameron White was explosive in that match and his outstanding innings of 78 from 46 balls was the main contribution behind the triumph. The team, although got their first victory in that match, again collapsed against Mumbai on April 29. So, there is no certainty and consistency among the strike rates of the Deccan players. Stuck at the last position in the DLF IPL Standings 2012, the team is looking for another victory over the same team against whom they have their first victory.

Starting with a very good innings in the beginning of this IPL, Pune Warriors is pushed back from third or fourth position to the seventh position in the Points Table after getting an array of disappointing defeats. The most unfortunate side is Deccan Chargers got their debut winning against the Pune Warriors. The two explosive openers Robin Uthappa and Jesse Ryder are the main backbone of the batting squad supported by middle order batsmen like Captain Saurav Ganguly, Steven Smith and Angelo Mathews. In their last match, none of the batsmen was in their usual form and the highest was 29 by Uthappa. The team really huffed and puffed to chase a score of 177 and finally bundled up within 159. However, in this coming match, Saurav headed Pune team is looking for revenge and they are well aware of the trends of Deccan. By taking the advantage of the weak sides of Deccan, Pune will look for their victory to restart their way of regaining their original position among the top four teams of the Points Table.
