This is the second match of the day where Deccan Chargers and Kings XI
Punjab will face each other to play the 53rd match of this IPL
2012 on May 8, 2012. The match will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad and it will commence at 8.00PM sharp. Kings XI Punjab is eyeing on this match
because a win in this match can smoothen their way towards playoff.
Virtually out of the playoffs, Deccan
Chargers is in the last position in the Points Table with only 5 points in
pocket from eleven matches played so far. But still the team is looking for one
or two wins so that they can leave this IPL with some pride. In the last few
matches, Deccan batsmen were superb and played impressive innings to put up
good team scores. However, the bowling squad has not been successful always to
restrict the opponent. Although they delivered attacking bowling against Pune
and got two wins but in their last match against Bangalore, the bowlers
remained unsuccessful. Apart from Dale Steyn, none of the bowlers has been
successful so far.
The performance curve of Kings XI Punjab
represents a wave in this IPL season. Starting with a poor rate of performance,
Punjab gradually recovered and moved up to 3rd-4th
positions and then again failed to retain their position and now residing in 7th
position. So far they have got 10 points from 11 matches and there is still a
chance to get qualified in the playoffs. Today they will be keen to get a
victory over this struggling opponent to make their way towards playoff.
Getting successive wins against Chennai and Bangalore, Punjab Kings suffered a
43-run loss against Rajasthan team in their preceding match. The batting and
bowling squads are in a balanced position and Azhar Mahmood’s inclusion in the
team is an added advantage for the team. This all-rounder has attacking bowling
strategy and has also been quite impressive in batting. So far, in absence of
Adam Gilchrist, David Hussey has proved himself as a successful captain and he
has more challenges to take up in the following matches to get the entry in the
playoffs.
The match result is quite predictable
because Punjab is in a favorable position in this match but Deccan can come up
at any time with their impressive performance to bag another triumph. So let us
all wait and watch what today’s evening reveals.
