IPL 2011: Preview - Match 68

Match 68: Delhi Daredevils vs Pune Warriors

Pune Warriors

Pune will go into this match as favourites but will also be aware that the match-winners in the side have failed to deliver. Jesse Ryder, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey and Yuvraj Singh have not as many runs as expected and it has hurt the team which boasts of having the most economical bowlers in the IPL.

Delhi Daredevils

The script is similar for Daredevils, who are last on the table with eight points but a vastly inferior net run rate than Pune’s. Delhi have also struggled to score runs and with Virender Sehwag also out with a shoulder injury, their troubles have compounded even further. The onus will be David Warner and Venugopal Rao to score the runs while Morne Morkel will lead the bowling attack that comprises mostly of discarded Indian players.

Kolkata Knight Riders thrash Pune Warriors

A challenging wicket provides a fascinating contest. Not essentially between the teams but at least between the bat and ball. This was on display when Pune Warriors tried to ruin Kolkata Knight Riders' party at the DY Patil stadium on Thursday night. The 'contest' was largely limited to first innings only. And it meant Pune's objective to beat the Big Brother remained just a wish.

Kolkata Knight Riders hammered them by seven wickets with more than three overs to spare. Yusuf Pathan made use receiving promotion despite being clueless on many occasions. Batting at No. 4, he made 29 off 25. Surprisingly, the fours came behind point before a trademark six off Bhuvnesh Kumar over long-on.

Captain Gambhir (54, 46b, 7x4s) was his usual self: crafty yet quiet; effective but not belligerent. The target of 119 was a child's play for his team. Pune's sloppy fielding came as unwanted bonus and without enough runs on the board, leggie Rahul Sharma wasn't a big weapon. Ganguly took 19 balls before hitting his first boundary. He ran 12 singles of his own and ran his partners' 12 runs too.
