Players to Watch….

Tim Paine

                        Australian Wicket-Keeper batsmen who can give a aggressive start for the team but he couldn’t get a correct rhythm in his first match but he will get today.



Amit Singh

                        A right-arm medium-pacer for Gujarat came into prominence when he was signed on by the Rajasthan Royals for the second edition of the IPL in South Africa. He is in good form throughout this tournament and he will continue the good run.


Trivia

Ø      Yuvraj Singh has struck 13 sixes so far this IPL, the highest by a batsman this season. 
Ø      Siddharth Trivedi, despite improved performances in the last two games, still has the dubious distinction of conceding the most runs in an innings this IPL - 59 in four overs against Kings XI Punjab.



Mic Testing 1...2...3...

Shane Warne - "We have been lucky here. We know a few things about this ground like the angles to be blocked off and that gives us the extra confidence."


Yuvraj Singh - We have to win six out of six to have a chance,”


Pitch Conditions


Ø      Not easy to field under the lights.
Ø      Chasing is the best one.
