2012 IPL will complete its 45th match on May 3,
2012 but, there is still no lack of excitement among the IPL audience. This
match is between Pune
Warriors and Mumbai Indians which
will be played at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune at 8.00PM sharp. Among the
two teams, Mumbai is obviously in a better position but Pune is a potential
team who can bounce back at any time to create a miracle.
Three successive losses for
Pune Warriors India pushed the team to the penultimate position from one of the
top positions in the tally table. Initially, the team proved themselves as one
of the strongest teams of this IPL when they bagged one victory after another
which also includes a match against Mumbai Indians and that too, the inaugural
match for both the teams on April 6. Among the ten matches played so far, the
team only got four victories. Standing at this position, the team needs to win
all the remaining matches to get an entry in the semi-final level. Perhaps,
absence of Ashok Dinda and Jesse Ryder is taking a toll on the team’s success
rate. But, the rest of the players have to take the responsibility so that the
team can bounce back and give a wonderful performance in the field tonight to
defeat Mumbai Indians.
Last time when Mumbai
Indians faced Pune Warriors in this tournament, the team suffered a
disappointing loss but later, the team got back to its winning streak and at
present Mumbai team is in the 3rd position in the DLF IPL Standings
2012 with five victories in
pocket among the nine matches played so far. The team is in a good position but
this season, there is a lack of inconsistency in this team which has failed to
show any momentum in this tournament. Their top batsman, Sachin Tendulkar is
not getting run in his bat this time, possibly because of his finger injury.
The other batsmen, although contributed a lot in the entire series but they
need to be more responsible to take the team score to a challenging level.
Moreover, the bowlers also need to make an attacking strategy from the beginning
because they are now aware of the trend of Pune team and also the loopholes
they have created last time.
With a lot of excitement in
today’s match and Mumbai looking for revenge against Pune, the evening can be
for Mumbai or can also be in favor of Dada’s team. Here are the probable XIs
for both the teams:
Pune Warriors: Sourav
Ganguly(c), Manish Pandey, Michal Clarke, Marlon Samuels, Robin Uthappa(wk), Steven
Smith, Wayne Parnell, Mithun Manhas, Murali Kartik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashish
Nehra.
Mumbai Indians: Harbhajan
Singh(c), Richard Levi, Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik(wk), James
Franklin, Ambati Rayudu, Robin
Peterson, Lasith Malinga, RP Singh,
Munaf Patel.
