Northern Dist. Set the pace early in the tournament and were stellar in the qualifiers, but face a difficult situation today. SHould they lose today, then would be facing a must win final match and even that may not see them qualify. If they lose today, they need ot get as near the 215 run target as possible to atleast keep the NRR in check.
ND need to be careful here, 81/5 and they already have an NRR of nearly -2. They don't want to go into the final match with having to undo a near impossible NRR situation.
Its good to see the matches going ahead today in Bangalore on this day of great political turmoil in Bangalore. CSK vs Scorchers is a must win for CSK.
Ben Hilfenhaus bowled very well for the Hobart Hurricanes in this match and in the entire tournament. His excellent swing bowling with the new ball has troubled batsman and resulted in them losing their wicket. Doug Bollinger has complimented Hilfenhaus with his fast aggressive left arm bowling and took 2 wickets in this match as well. Xavier Doherty also bowled well and his accurate off spin bowling led to him taking four wickets towards the end of the innings.
Well done to the Barbados Tridents for allowing Evan Gulbis to come in for Joe Mennie who injured himself after the toss was completed. Barbados would have been well within their means to say Mennie has to stay in the team because it is too late to make a change to the starting eleven. Credit to them in upholding the spirit of cricket.
This Karanveer Singh guy can bowl, eh? Kings XI are lucky to have good domestic spinners in their side. Gives them the liberty to then unleash the Maxwell and the Millers of the world.
