Pune Warriors Vs Delhi Daredevils - Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Deccan Chargers

IPL 2013 Live Streaming Online

It hasn't been too long when Sourav Ganguly bowled Pietersen and took another wicket to change the track of Delhi Daredevils towards a loss. Within very few days both these teams will play each other, but this time at Sahara Stadium in Pune. The other match to be played would be Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Deccan Chargers.


1st Match - Pune Warriors India Vs Delhi Daredevils


This promises to be a mouth watering face off! Delhi Daredevils have been the most impressive team so far in IPL 2012 and for them currently Pune Warriors is the team to beat. Simply because they are itching for a revenge. Delhi was looking good in their chase till the time Sehwag was on crease. Once he was out, things changed drastically. Match swinged towards Pune Warriors and the credit goes to Jesse Ryder and Sourav Ganguly.


Pune batting seems to be in good form with Ganguly, Ryder, Angelo Matthews, Uthappa and Steve Smith. Bowling looks fine with the likes of Ashish Nehra, Ashok Dinda, Angelo Matthews, Alfonso Thomas, Murali Karthik and Rahul Sharma. A couple of overs from Ganguly can come in handy.


Delhi Daredevils have to dare here at Pune to clinch a win to stay on the top. They are currently at the apex of points tally and they would love to stay there for which they need a win here at Pune. Morne Morkel leads the most wicket taker chart in IPL 2012 and holds the key in Delhi's bowling department. He is well supported by Umesh Yadav and Irfan Pathan.


Delhi's batting looks formidable with Sehwag, Pietersen, Jayawardene, Ross Taylor and Naman Ojha. Virender Sehwag's firewords at the start will be one of he key factors which would decide the match's result. Pitch here at Subrata Roy stadium will offer true bounce for good strokeplay.


2nd Match - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Deccan Chargers


Kolkata Knights Riders have four wins out of seven matches and Deccan Chargers have none out of their five matches. Couple of days ago KKR registered a pretty professional win against Deccan Chargers. These two teams meet again for an IPL face off at the Eden Gardens. 


KKR is slowly gaining the winning momentum and climbing up the points tally. Bowling is going well with Brett Lee, Balaji, Sunil Narine and Rajat Bhatia. As far as the batting is concerned, Gambhir looks in good touch with 200 plus runs in IPL 2012. KKR would be tempted to pick Shakib Al Hasan as the nature of the pitch would support his kind of player. McCullum and Yusuf Pathan's bad batting form still remains a worry for KKR.


Five losses in a row leaves Deccan Charges in loads of worries and the most desperate team looking for a win. For the first time their bowlers did well in the last match, but the batsmen failed to capitalise. Nothing is going right for the Deccan Chargers and they need to pull up their socks before its too late. KKR look favourites in this match but an inspiring win for DC can change the fortunes.

Did anyone watch Ganguly clinching the wicket of Pietersen last night and then celebrating like a kid? Some said he has a bad haircut and some said he needs a good hair styling gel. Well does that really matter? What matters is his passion for the game even at this age and the way he celebrated after that wicket. He played an important role in last night's win. This is what IPL is all about! Pure excitement.


Let us discuss about today's two big matches that serves a tasty cricketing treat on Sunday:-


1st Match - Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab


This is the 28th match of IPL 2012. Five days ago Mumbai Indians suffered a loss against Delhi Daredevils and its time for them to set things straight. Mumbai has not yet performed to its potential. Above all its dependability on Sachin and Malinga is vulnerable. 92 all out against Delhi Daredevils was a big disappointment for the team. 


To add to their worries, last year's highest wicket taker and the most prolific IPL bowler Lasith Malinga has suffered a severe back injury and he flies back home to Srilanka. He won't be playing atleast for next couple of weeks. MI has won 3 out of 5 games and they badly need couple of more wins to get their winning momentum going on. 


Chances are high that Sachin Tendulkar will play today and this would be a big cheer in the Mumbai Indians camp. As far as bowling is concerned, in absence of Malinga a lot depends now on quick bowling of Munaf and RP Singh.


On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab have seen consecutive losses and they badly need a victory now. This team is over dependent on the performances of overseas players. Hussey would again lead the team in absence of Gilchrist. Hussey needs to strike well whereas Shaun Marsh is already in a decent form. 


Azhar Mahmood did a good job in death overs with his batting in the last match. He is a T20 match winner and he can do a lot for this team. Piyush Chawla looks promising whereas Praveen Kumar has not yet clinched a wicket in IPL 2012. 


2nd Match - Kolkata Knight Riders vs Deccan Chargers


Kolkata Knight Riders have not been able to convert good performances into wins. They stand on 5th position of points tally with three wins and three losses. They managed to win their last match against Kings XI Punjab. Batting looks out of form with Kallis and Yusuf Pathan yet to play to their potential.


Bowling department has saved Gambhir and company. Brett Lee, Narine and Balaji has done a very good job so far for Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR can't take Deccan Chargers lightly as one loss here can slide them down in the points table.


Deccan Chargers have been the most unsuccessful team so far in this year's IPL simply because they haven't won any match. Four straight losses in four matches for Deccan Chargers. Three out of those four matches should have ideally been gone into DC's pockets but their bowling has not been good in the death overs.


Batsmen like Shikhar Dhawan and Kumar Sangakkara have provided good starts to the innings. The team has managed to score big but apart from Dale Steyn none of the bowlers have performed well to anchor the match to a win.
