Champions League Twenty20 Rewind

I'm honestly bit hesitating to say same since pitch will be heaven for fast bowlers and we have put only three of them in last lineup, so spinners have to cover at least 8 overs. Still I have high hopes from the same lineup because of last match's performance. Go same.

Also I'll admit we're kinda out of fast bowling options.:p
 
Though we won the last match narrowly , we would give this lineup another try .

0.2  Chris Cairns to Morne van Wyk, Oh, that's a juicy full toss and the batsman has nailed it! 6 runs!  (6) 
0.3  Chris Cairns to Morne van Wyk, Good shot, bad placement. Won't get a run for that.  (0) 
0.4  Chris Cairns to Morne van Wyk, Excellent bowling, catches the batsman off-guard with a vicious bouncer! Unfortunately for the bowler, the batsmen top edges it over the head of the keeper for six! Tough luck son, maybe you'll get him next time.  (6) 
0.5  Chris Cairns to Morne van Wyk, He defends with the bat and pad tucked together, and the bowler goes up in appeal. Hard to tell if it was bat first or pad first, but the umpire thinks it was off the bat and he's got to go!
