Chennai: Apr 15, 2013
Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will look to consolidate their position in clash against the laggards Pune Warriors India in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Starting their campaign in the sixth edition of the tournament with a loss, Chennai seemed to have got their mojo back after posting back-to-back wins, including last night’s victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore, in a nail-biting finish.
On the other hand, Pune have already suffered three losses in four outings, their only win coming over Rajasthan Royals.
Two-time winners Chennai are placed fourth in the points table with as many points while Pune Warriors are lying low in the eighth position with two points in the nine-team T20 league.
With Pune still struggling to come to terms, the match at the M A Chidambaram Stadium will be an opportunity for Chennai to head north in the table.
The hosts have the resources in abundance, in both batting and bowling, and it will be interesting to see what strategy Pune employ against the side led by India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Teams:
Chennai Super Kings: Srikkanth Anirudha, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Subramanium Badrinath, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Albie Morkel, Chris Morris, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dirk Nannes.
Pune Warriors India: Aaron Finch, Robin Uthappa (wk), Manish Pandey, Ross Taylor (c), Abhishek Nayar, Tirumalsetti Suman, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda.
