Warriors made two changes, bringing in Ajantha Mendis and Angelo Mathews in place of Luke Wright and Kane Richardson.
Pune would be desperate to make amends but they face an uphill task against the star-studded Bangalore.
It won't be an easy task for Finch's boys as they are up against a formidable Bangalore side which boasts of the big-hitting Chris Gayle.
On paper, Bangalore appear to be the overwhelming favourites with six wins in 10 games, while Pune are languishing at the bottom with just two wins in 10 matches.
Pune would be eager to forget the nightmarish experience it encountered the last time these two teams met on April 23, when Bangalore registered the highest team score of 263 and Gayle massacred the bowling to score a record 66-ball 175.
