IPL, 2016 Live Cricket Score of Rising Pune Supergiants vs Gujarat Lions, 25th Match

The first half of the Indian Premier League is almost over and we have witnessed some boisterous contests. The tournament is surely living up to its reputation across the nation for the entertainment it provides. Two teams, who have traversed diverse paths in the tournament face off tonight. It's Rising Pune Supergiants taking on Gujarat Lions. After four losses on the trot, RPS turned the tide with a win against SRH in their previous game. They will be high on confidence and are keen to sustain the winning momentum. Just days after Kevin Pietersen hobbled out of the pitch with a calf injury, Pune suffered yet another setback when Faf du Plessis, their second leading run-getter, was ruled out of the competition due to a finger injury. Usman Khawaja replaces him in the squad. Ashok Dinda and Mitchell Marsh's bowling against Hyderabad will certainly inspire confidence in their ranks. There will be huge pressure on Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith and MS Dhoni to shoulder responsibility with the bat.

The Lions, sitting pretty at the top of the points table, staged a dramatic fightback to down Daredevils by a solitary run in their last match. Their bowling unit literally pulled back the game from the jaws of defeat. One of the reasons behind the visitor's success has been their batting top order. Aaron Finch, Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith have ensured brisk starts so far in the league but Finch's fitness is a cause of concern for the Rajkot-based franchise. In the first leg when these two sides met, Gujarat had come out on top and this time ideally, Dhoni would be seeking a revenge. Stay tuned! We will bring you the toss and teams in a little while.
