Punjab sits atop the IPL standings with a 4-0 record. Their latest win came in a 23-run victory on Saturday against Kolkata, which struggled to produce against Punjab. Sandeep Sharma won the Man of the Match award for his performance, highlighted by the three wickets he took. While Virender Sehwag scored a game-high 37 runs, Mitchell Johnson's struggles at-bat continued.
"I've started the tournament quite slowly, coming back from my toe infection and it has taken me a few games to get into," said Johnson, who scored no runs on Saturday, via CricBuzz.com
Bangalore, meanwhile, is ranked fifth in the league with a 2-2 start to the season. The team is coming off a six-wicket loss on Saturday to Rajasthan.
"I believe we are a much better batting unit than this," Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli said. "It was one of those days that we need to forget quickly."
