IPL 6: Match 42 - PWI vs CSK - A statistical preview

In the five matched played between these two franchises, Chennai Super Kings leads Pune Warriors India 3-2. When the teams met earlier in the season at Chennai, PWI caused a huge upset as they scored 159 and then went on to restrict the mighty hosts to just 135 to win by 24 runs.

Robin Uthappa and Aaron Finch have four fifty run opening partnerships in seven innings this season so far, the most by any opening pair.

Suresh Raina, during his last innings against Kolkata Knight Riders, became only the second player behind Chris Gayle to smash 100 sixes in the IPL.

Converting starts in to substantial innings has been a problem for Pune, their batsmen have 13 scores of 30 or more this season but only three of them went to make any significant contribution of 50 or more.

Pune Warriors India has conceded the most sixes this season – 50.

What’s next in store for teams: Both teams next will be seen in action on May 2. Pune Warriors India will plays hosts to Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Meanwhile Chennai Super Kings will travel home to host Kings XI Punjab.
