While people has been talking how competetive this year's IPL has been so far with almost all the teams chipping in with good shows, there is one team that has not yet been in those talks. Well you all know which that team is, what is happening to the IPL 2 champions was unexpected. Yes they do not have the same fire power in batting & bowling as Mumbai, Delhi or Bangalore but they still got talent. With skipper Sangakkara along with hard hitters like JP Duminy,Daniel Christian & Cameron White leads the batting line up, Indian players like Shikhar Dhawan and Parthiv Patel has shown glimpses of their brilliance. SO I guess its not their batting that is a worry.
With Ishant Sharma sidelined due to an injury, the whole workload is upon Dale Steyn. Unlike his south african team mate Morne Morkel, he is craving for support at the other end. With Morne having good support from Umesh, Nadeem, Irfan and Agarkar in DD, he has the Purple Cap with 16 wickets to his name. Amit Mishra is also looking very ordinary till now. As a result DC has only managed to take 26 wickets in 6 games.
On the other hand Pune warriors has been a revelation in this year's IPL. With Dada back with what he does the best-as captain and explosive batting and with world class bowling they looks like clear favourites to win this encounter. With Manish Pandey joining the run hunt in the previous game, looks like opening slot is going to be fixed now with Explosive Jesse Ryder and talented Manish Pandey. Middle order looks solid with Dada, Uthappa and Smith. With bowlers like Thomas, Nehra, Karthik and Rahul Sharma the bowling department looks decent. Now it will come down to how the DC bowlers come up with a game plan to control the Warrior batsmen. For me it looks like its one more win for the warriors.
