great stuff from ingram as always; a wee bit dissapointed with the bowling as they couldn't control the run-rate but they picked up wicket regularly good on them for that. this will come down to the 3rd final.

World Series Final 3 - England Lions vs South Africa A
at Brabourne Stadium (Excellent Pitch)
6th May 2010

Teams at a glance :

south-africa-cricket-logo.jpg

South Africa A

Team Form - Brilliant. The team has showed what a balanced side can do. Nearly all the players have proved their amazing form.

Drawing Board - Batting is the best option. But if they bowl first, the must bowl full length ball not giving any wides. Short balls won't stand a chance here.

X-Factor - Dale Steyn - Has maintained his consistency. Now, as it is an important match, he should look to secure a 4-wicket haul to prove that he is the best

Key Players - Hashim Amla, Robin Peterson

ECB-logo66.jpg

England Lions

Team Form - Better than ever. The team's main strength has been the explosive but responsible batting by the team players.

Drawing Board - Need to kick start their innings with a high run-rate. Since, this is a excellent pitch, they should try to reach 270 + score.

X-Factor - Eoin Morgan - The audience has been expecting a much from this young attacker. May get some good runs in a high-pressure game like this.

Key Players - Tim Bresnan, Alastair Cook
