Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Rajasthan Royals Live Score IPL Match 47 Preview

Posted: 02 May 2013 01:33 AM PDT

Kolkata Knight Riders are not even close to their performance as they were in the last IPL season where they got their hands on the IPL trophy. This time with 7 defeat out of 10 matches at their side the chances of making it to the finals is almost close to impossible. There are many reasons for the team to look for a win in this match.

On the other side Rajasthan Royals are on a winning spree and they will definitely be looking forward for a win from this match to get out of the lock down with other two teams equaling it with 12 points.  The game will be interesting to watch where one of the team will be fighting for their survival while the other one will sneak an opportunity to climb to second position in IPL ranking.

Match Venue and Date

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals will be in front of each other in the 47th IPL 6 match. The teams will be playing at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on May 3, 2013 at 8:00 pm.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata failed miserably against Delhi by 7 wickets in their last match. They were not able to stay on pitch for long. Captain Gautam Gambhir got for a duck in the play but he needs to buckle up as he is the hope of the team against Rajasthan's Watson and Faulkner. Eoin Morgan and Manvinder Bisla may have returned on the early points in the last match but yet they are the most important names for the team. Yusuf Pathan is however not being able to prove his worth this IPL. Jacques Kallis may be swapped by Brendon McCullum again owing to his play. In the last batting order Debabrata Das can be worthy.

In bowling Brett Lee who was included in the last match made a boost for the team but Lakshmipathy Balaji and Jacques Kallis on the other side were as usual inconsistent. Sunil Narine has been brilliant with his deliveries except for a couple of games. Rajat Bhatia is also an intelligent pacer worthy to be in the bowling order.KKR vs RR

Rajasthan Royals

In form and on a run chase Shane Watson is an alarming signal for the team Knight Riders. The last three innings of the skipper against the top giant of IPL show what he actually is.  Having a blasting start this season Ajinkya Rahane will be seeking an opportunity to get back on track. Captain Rahul Dravid who is capable of making his team past over all hurdles is aptly complimented by other players including Brad Hodge and Owais Shah.  Stuart Binny's capability to handle the death overs with a bang proves to an asset for the team. The newbie 18 year old, Sanju Samson took everyone by surprise in the match against RCB where he score 50 becoming the youngest IPL player to do so.

In bowling James Faulkner is yet the man with most responsibility on his part. The return of Shane Watson in form makes his an asset for the bowling department as well. Offspinner Ajit Chandila is brilliant with his deliveries giving Rajasthan Royals a perfect start on pitch. On the final go S Sreesanth and Siddharth Trivedi complete the Rajasthan team.

Probable Team Squad

Kolkata Knight Riders: G Gambhir, M Bisla(wk), J Kallis (or) B Mccullum, D Das, R Bhatia, Y Pathan, E Morgan, S Narwal, B Lee (or) S Senanayake, S Narine, L Balaji

Rajasthan Royals: R Dravid(c), A Rahane, S Watson, S Binny, S Samson (wk), B Hodge, O Shah, A Chandila, J Faulkner, S Sreesanth, S Trivedi

Pune Warriors vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore Live Score IPL Match 46 Preview

Posted: 02 May 2013 01:30 AM PDT

Pune is nearing towards their demise in this IPL and they got one step nearer after losing against Chennai Super Kings in the last match. Well there are a lot more to worry about for the team which is constantly inconsistent with their play in the IPL 6 season. On the other side Royal Challengers are a promising team but they are also coming straight after a couple of defeats.

Match venue and Date

Pune Warriors will be hosting Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune. The 46th IPL match will be played on May 2, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm.

Pune Warriors

There are many reasons of concern for the team Warriors as they are inconsistent on a continuous basis in this IPL. In the batting order on the opening front Aaron Finch and Robin Uthappa give an apt platform for the middle over players to flourish.  But good for nothing the middle over players just simply waste the opportunity set for them by the opening pair. Also the out of form performance of Yuvraj Singh is resulting in loss for the team big time. He is able to net just 140 runs this IPL season in total of 7 games. Also Luke Wright and Steve Smith have batted impressive but still they are not able to clinch victory for the team.

The problems are not only with the Pune’s batting order but their bowling is also on low end as well. In the IPL their bowling during the death overs has been worst as compared with every other team. This time Kane Richardson is going to take care of the last order bowling.  Also Ashok Dinda and Rahul Sharma are proving to be expensive for the team continuously leaking runs. For the better part Bhuvneshwar Kumar has being intelligent with his deliveries. Parveez Rasool can be a worthy player to be included in the team for this play.

Pune Warriors vs RCB

Royal Challengers Bangalore

One of the most deadly teams this season, Royal Challengers are settling at 2nd position in IPL point table. If we go by the last two defeats of the team in this IPL season then it is evident that the team trembles badly whenever Gayle get out of line. There is an utmost need for this Jamaican juggernaut to play with his techniques to be on ground for long.  He is the crucial anchor point for RCB team. The front order list of captain Virat Kohli, Ravi Rampaul and AB de Villiers are perfect starters. But still the weak middle order is a concern for the team.

In bowling RP Singh and Jaidev Unadkat were not as consistent and their performance has been little patchy so far.

Probable Team Squad

Pune Warriors: A Finch(c), R Uthappa (wk), Y Singh, L Wright (or) R Taylor, S Smith, A Nayar, B Kumar, A Dinda, T Suman (or) P Rasool, M Manhas, R Sharma, K Richardson

Royal Challengers Bangalore: V Kohli (c), T Dilshan (or) M Henriques, C Gayle, A Mukund, AB de Villiers, S Tiwary, R Rampaul, R Vinay Kumar, M Kartik (or) S Mohammed, RP Singh, J Unadkat.

Posted: 02 May 2013 01:26 AM PDT

The team that is on the brim this time is Kings XI Punjab. Placed at no.6 in the IPL ranking till now team my get out or make a comeback based on its performance in the coming matches. The team is about to face one of the most promising and sought after IPL 6 team the Chennai Super Kings in the 45th IPL match.

Match Venue and Date

In the 45th IPL Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab will be making a chase. The match is scheduled on 2nd May 2013 at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai starting at 4:00 pm.

Chennai Super Kings

The return of Mike Hussey in form has worked really well for the team CSK. However the captain himself is not an easy go and has clinched the man of the match in the last couple of matches. Suresh Raina on the other is firing deadly against the opponents. His inning of 63 runs from 50 deliveries was a showcase of his potential. Subramaniam Badrinath finally got to show his batting in the last match and came out to be pretty worthy for the team. Dhoni backed with Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo is that deadly combination which can attain any score within no time.

In the last match Mohit Sharma proved to be lethal for Pune netting 3 crucial top order wickets. Albie Morkel and Chris Morris, the South African duo simply smash the opponent's strong batting order with their pace deliveries. The art of managing even the most ferocious batsmen is well versed by Dwayne Bravo. In the spinners section Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja may not have been so successful but yet they act as speed breakers to restrict the score accumulations of the other team.

Chennai-Super-Kings-vs-Kings-XI-Punjab

Kings XI Punjab

Team hanging with a delicate string is that of Kings XI Punjab led by Adam Gilchrist. Owing to his out of class performance he finally quitted and made space for Shaun Marsh in the top order. Marsh is a destruction and there are enough proof of what he can do but in the last match he got back early, nevertheless he is still a raging bull. The names that again and again hail for Punjab are that of Mandeep Singh, Gurkeerat Singh and Manan Vohra. They yet again need to survive against the CSK team to strengthen their claim this IPL. David Miller can be a score gainer if he gets his rhythm in the mid overs game.

In the pacer section Parvinder Awana and Praveen Kumar are accurate with their deliveries. Also Manpreet Gony is a key bowler for the team but at the same time he is also a target bowler for the batsmen.  Against Mumbai, Azhar Mahmood may not have been such a success but still he is a capable bowler. Harmeet Singh, who was missing in the last match, should make a comeback as he knows how to deliver a combination of well bowling. Leg spinner Piyush Chawla is the one who finalizes the team.

Probable Team Squads

Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni(c/wk), M Hussey, W Saha, S Raina, S Badrinath, R Jadeja, D Bravo, A Morkel, C Morris, R Ashwin, M Sharma.

Kings XI Punjab: D Hussey(c), M Singh, S Marsh, M Vohra, D Miller, G Singh (wk), A Mahmood, M Gony (or) H Singh, P Kumar, P Chawla, P Awana.
