This is the second match between Kings XI Punjab and Pune Warriors India, which will be played in Punjab Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh on April 12, 2012 at 8.00PM IST. In the same week, the teams are facing each other for the second time and this time, Kings XI Punjab is looking for a different match result unlike last time.
In last IPL season Punjab occupied the bottom position in the Points Table and in this season also, the Punjab team has been repeatedly failing to show their best performance. Last Sunday, this team was in Pune to confront Pune team and concluded the match with a disappointing loss. The team players need to be more consistent to give their best performance. May be in today’s match, David Hussey will be opening with Captain Adam Gilchrist to give him more support and a good partnership. On the other hand, the team may take the advantage of the presence of Shaun Marsh who was out of the team in the last match due to an injury.
Headed by an experienced captain, Pune team has made a good start in their second year of IPL. This year, they started off their campaign by defeating one of the most potential IPL team, Mumbai Indians and the inaugural victory was followed by the second win against Punjab team on last Sunday. The team will again try to bag another win in today’s match to maintain its glorious position in the Points Table. In today’s match there may be a replacement of Callum Ferguson or Jesse Ryder by one of the explosive opener of Bangladesh, Tamim Iqbal.
With dual support from both Pune fans and ‘Dada’ fans, when the Pune team is ready for another victory, the Punjab team in its home ground, overcrowded with their enthusiastic Punjab supporters will look for their first victory in this IPL campaign.
Probable XIs for Kings XI Punjab: Adam Gilchrist (c & wk), Shaun Marsh, Paul Valthaty, David Hussey, Mandeep Singh, Abhishek Nayar, Praveen Kumar, James Faulkner, Bipul Sharma, Harmeet Singh, Piyush Chawla.
Probable XIs for Pune Warriors India: Sourav Ganguly (c),Robin Uthappa (wk), Angelo Mathews/Tamim Iqbal /Jesse Ryder /Callum Ferguson, Manish Pandey, Steven Smith, Marlon Samuels, Wayne Parnell, Murali Kartik, Mohnish Mishra, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda.
