The Dhoni-led Pune Supergiants were very convincing and dominant when they handed defending champions Mumbai Indians a nine-wicket drubbing. They did not even require their middle order, packed with Dhoni himself and players such as Steven Smith, to come out with top-order delivering it for them comfortably.

On the other hand Gujarat lions batting is totally depended on McCullum, Raina, Bravo, Finch, Karthik and Kishan to score runs at good pace.Finch and Rahane has already made fifties in their opening match of GL and made a good start.So the team has hope from both of them to perform better.

The main problem of both of the teams is their bowlers as Pune bowlers restricted defending champions Mumbai on a small total but still there is question mark on Ashwin, Ishant, Pathan, M/ Ashwin and Bolan’s bowling,Also Gujarat Lions Bowlers Faulkner, Mishra, Praveen and Jadeja didn’t bowl at that level they are known to bowl.So this match cab be battle between Bowlers.The winning chances of bothe teams will depend upon their bowling.The team which will bowl best will win the Match. So it will be an interesting battle to watch out.
