Dear cricket lover how are
you all doing? Hope the cricket fans all over the world must have been enjoying
the exclusive matches of IPL season 5.
IPL 2012,
21st match
Royal Challengers Bangalore v Pune Warriors
Date:April 17, 2012
Date:April 17, 2012
Time: 8:00 PM IST, 14:30 GMT
Venue: M
Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore
When the squads were
assessed before the start of the tournament, Pune Warriors were deemed to be
one of the underdogs and Royal Challengers Bangalore, one of the favourites. So
far, those assessments have proved totally off the mark. Royal Challengers are
having a hard time. The fifth bowler has been a particular concern for them -
leaking 71 runs in the defeat to Chennai Super Kings, and 69 in the meltdown
against Rajasthan Royals. S Aravind had
impressed last season in the IPL, but had a horror outing on Sunday. Royal
Challengers had also been hamstrung by a shortage of allrounders in their
line-up, limiting their bowling options. That could be changed by getting in
either Tillakaratne Dilshan or Andrew McDonald, but at the expense of whom?
Daniel Vettori is the captain, Gayle and de Villiers are automatic picks, and
Muttiah Muralitharan has looked the best of the side's bowlers so far. The
teams met only once last season, when Royal Challengers' powerful top
order, led by Virat Kohli and Chris Gayle, set up a total that proved too much
for the faltering Warriors
