Warriors elect to bat against Punjab

NEW DELHI: Pune Warriors India skipper Angelo Mathews won the toss and opted to bat against Kings XI Punjab in the 6th match of the IPL 6 at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium in Pune.

Scorecard

Pune dealt a big blow as Yuvraj Singh is out with back strain and T Suman replaced him.

Pune Warriors would be hoping for a better batting performance after suffering a disappointing 22-run loss in a low scoring game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Pune's bowling attack looked impressive with a three-pronged pace attack comprising Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ashok Dinda and skipper Angelo Matthews.

On the other hand, Kings XI Punjab will look to start their campaign on a winning note.

Kings XI Punjab have never won their opening game in the previous five editions of the IPL and the Adam Gilchrist-led side would be keen to change it this year.

Teams:

Pune Warriors: Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Marlon Samuels, Tirumalasetti Suman, Ross Taylor, Abhishek Nayar, Angelo Mathews, Mitchell Marsh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda

Kings XI Punjab: Adam Gilchrist, Mandeep Singh, David Hussey, Azhar Mahmood, Gurkeerat Singh, Manan Vohra, Rajagopal Sathish, Piyush Chawla, Parvinder Awana, Praveen Kumar, Ryan Harris
