Match 42 of Pepsi IPL 2013 will feature the Pune Warriors India and Chennai Super Kings.
PWI and CSK have both played nine matches but are separated by seven teams on the table. While CSK top the table with seven victories, PWI lie at the floor of the table with just two victories and a very poor net run rate.
PWI have been at the receiving end in their last three matches. After failing to chase down 120 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, they were blown away by Chris Gayle and Royal Challengers Bangalore. In their most recent outing against the Delhi Daredevils, PWI put up a good fight in their chase of 165 but eventually fell short by 15 runs.
CSK have made winning a habit. Since handing the Delhi Daredevils a 86-run defeat, CSK have clung on to three last over finishes and most recently got the better of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders.
Chennai Super Kings have won three of their five matches against Pune Warriors India. CSK won both their matches against PWI in the 2011 season before both teams won their respective away games in the 2012 season.
Pune Warriors India will host Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will head back home to host Kings XI Punjab.
