Chennai Super Kings will face their last match opponent Pune Warriors; Chennai had the final laugh in their last meeting. Pune felt 25 runs short in chasing the target of 142 runs. Pune Warriors will be itching to take revenge over Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai Super Kings will take on Sahara Pune Warriors in the 31st match of Indian Premier League 4 2011 at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai on April 27 at 16:00 GMT.

"Pune Warriors vs Chennai Super Kings" Pune Warriors has made perfect start to their IPL campaign with two wins in two games and going through rough patch with three loses in last three games. Pune is placed in the second half of points table in IPL. Pune team is filled with fire power of Jesse Ryder, Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa and recent inclusion of Manish Pandey is added to their strength. The concern for Pune is their inconsistent middle order need to perform on consistent basis to get good results.

Pune Warriors bowling has been most economical one in their last match against Chennai Super Kings. Alphonso Thomas has been leading bowling attack from the front; Jerome Taylor looked impressive in his last match by picking up three wickets.

Chennai Super Kings has overcome their losing streak by defeating Pune in the last match. Chennai suffered two loses and will face the same opposition in two days time, the champions will take on new comers of IPL.

Chennai main strengths lies in their batting line-up, the opening pair of Murali Vijay and Michael Hussey has been providing good starts. Hussey proved why he is called as Mr. Cricket; he plays a vital role of anchoring the Chennai innings with his solid batting. But young talented Suresh Raina needs to step up to the task and come all guns blazing. Vijay may miss out today’s match as he was nursing hamstring injury.

Chennai bowling unit looks more settled with the return of Doug Bollinger, Ashwin has been their strike bowler and Albie Morkel, who has been through the all seasons with Chennai, was well experienced to perform in pressure games.

Yuvraj Singh was heavily disappointed with his performance in last game as he was not finished the game. The World Cup winning hero was looking for vengeance. Suresh Rains is only two hits away to regain his form, he is very anxious to be in good knick. These are the two players from each team to look out for.
