While Sourav’s team failed to chase, Dhoni’s team failed to defend totals

The Ganguly-led Pune side failed miserably in chasing targets. They fell short on eight occasions. whilst also losing some close encounters along the road.

On the other hand, the Dhoni-led RPS has failed miserably to defend targets on a regular basis. Their weak bowling attack has failed to defend targets as high as 195 and in total, they have lost six games defending totals.

That proves that both teams lacked in one particular aspect of the game – a good finisher.
