Kochi Tuskers to meet Pune Warriors today!

After an impressive opening match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore team,Kochi Tuskers is all set to meet its new team Sahara Pune Warriors in Mumbai.
Pune Warriors is a stronger side compared to Tuskers,but the better play on the field matters.Kochi Tuskers has a good opening pair,but lack of a pinch-hitter down the order is pronouncing.Thisara Perera or Micheal Klinger could get a chance today.Klinger is a strong middle order batsman.
Kochi Tuskers’ chances greatly rely on the batting performance of its skipper,Mahela and McCullum.Parthiv Patel is also a good option for the opening pair.Bowling department looked out of colour the first day.Speedsters and Spinners failed to impose pressure over the RCB batsmen.Sreesanth has good pace,but lacks line and perfect length.Also he needs to be careful regarding the no-balls.The fielding of the side was good the last day.They need to continue that.
Pune Warriors has a strong batting line-up and a good bowling side.If Tuskers need to get 2 points today,they will have to work really hard.
VENUE-D Y PATIL STADIUM ,MUMBAI
