@NaviN GandhI "We believe we had made our fans happy with our previous game and we are not going to stop out there. There is a lot of talk saying that we are not good at away matches and at home matches we win due to the pitch influence, we are here today to prove that wrong. This game is going to decide the fate of our team in this league, this is going to be a very crucial match for us. Moving forward I think all our matches are going to be very crucial until we get into a comfortable position in top four. We have made some light changes in the line up. Next match is played at Sharjah, which favor batting the most, so we are bringing in some attacking line up into the match, we hope they will be able to put some huge score on the screen. I don't want to keep you guys waiting so I will break the ice.
Here is the line up.
Shikhar Dhawan Dinesh Karthik Hashim Amla Yuvraj Singh Rohit Sharma Glen Maxwell Ryan Ten Doeschate Grant Elliott J Duminy Akshar Patel Joel GarnerFans have always been supportive for us from the start hope they continue it here too. We will make sure that we don't let you down at the away pitch this time. Hope we will be able to stay alive in this league after this match. Come to the stadium and support us"
Wow that is some lineup, full of all rounders this surely increase the batting strength but if this plan back fire ADK will be in a BIG trouble. To know how they are gonna perform and if Atlético De Kolkata is gonna stay alive in the league we got to wait and watch. If you don't have the patience to know the result 5min later then watch it live from the stadium. Stay tuned for further updates. [HASHTAG]#wewillwinordietrying[/HASHTAG]

Another day, another defeat for the Dynamos. This isn't gonna get us anywhere. Seriously, I had much better expectations from the team this time around. Even Bradman fails to score 50+. He has been piss poor this season. I Hope a little shift in the batting order would fix things up. As a matter of fact, our batting has been quite overrated. During the transfer period, our main target was to strengthen our bowling attack. Junaid Khan's superb bowling display is one of the few positives for us from this match. I wish he continues to bowl the same way. Pollock played a good knock but it was too late then.

Atlético de Kolkata Announcement
Welcome everyone to the preview of Round 1 between Kolkata Vs Kolkata, you heard it right Atlético de Kolkata is facing the mighty Kolkata Knight Riders. This Match is going to be a treat for all the Kolkata fans. Match is taking place at Eden Gardens, the third-largest cricket stadium in the world but the pitch type for the match is unknown yet.
I know what you all are waiting for, The squad... Yes Manager NaviN will be announcing his squad first to us has promised so lets not waste any more time and get straight to him.
NaviN Gandhi "The squad for Round 1 is here, this is the final squad which me and @Aravind. have agreed upon.
Shikhar Dhawan and Maxi will be opening the attack for us, Dhawan has been a solid opener for India in recent matches and we are hoping to get the start from him for us, Maxi has not opened in any match I believe but we all know his aggressive capability so we are pulling him up the order to give a push start in the batting, Hashim has been the most successive and consistent player in season 1 for us and for his teams Internationally so we are expecting a lot from him.
Rohit Sharma, Ryan Ten Doeschate, David Miller, Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja will be leading the charge in the middle order. Sharma has been given the responsibility to handle the team and we decided to move him down the order to add some strength to the middle order has we believe he can keep wickets and strike when needed and so is Miller, we all know his capability of striking the ball and rotating strikes when needed. Ryan Ten Doeschate, Sir Jadeja and Karthik can quick fire the balls which will help us in scoring a big total.
Joel Garner will be leading the bowling attack for us, his experience and talent will help our bowling attack to give an aggressive start. De Lange has performed well in season 1 so we expect the same from hims this time along with Joel. Samuel Badree will be leading the spin attack along with Sir Jadeja and Maxi. Ryan Ten will be our 6th optional bowler which the captain can use if needed.
There must be some questions rising about the exclusion of yuvi from the main eleven, but what we have to say for the fans is that we are trying some combinations out here and saving the best for the later stage of the game.
Overall we have a very team who can play aggressively and responsibly.KKR under the leader ship of Managers @themusketeer and @Samuels has a solid team who can give a some tough time to our players but we have a very good solid players in our team who can play according the situation. We are hoping to win our first match away from home which will give a great confidence for the players. Thank you."
The first round of the league is about to begin, lets all get ready for a mind blowing start from the two huge team, let the best win the game. Stay tuned..
Atlético De Kolkata Post Match Review
Well the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders will be delighted with the win and it was a disappointing loss to the Atlético De Kolkata.. Lets get into the match post review.
It was a total plus for KKR that they won the toss, they know the condition of the home pitch and without any doubt they went straight into batting. Azhar and Ganguly where looking little good until big bird started shaking things up like an earthquake and KKR players started falling, until Sir Garry and AB came to the ground, both took the game off from ADK, both looked steady and strong which placed more pressure on the young captain Rohit who made some wrong calls in the field. Villiers was totally taking the game away from ADK before Lange got him before the wicket, with the steady platform set by AD and Garry, it was easy for Ross and Kapil to take the momentum forward to post a chalenging total of 270 in 50 overs.
Defending a challenging total KKR bowlers started off with wickets flying all over, KDR managers decision to bring maxi up the order did not work well for them and they lost him in the beginning stage of the game, followed by a Hasim losing his wicket. Middle order of ADK totally collapsed under the spin attack of the legend Shane Warne, but on the other hand opener Dhawan was playing a very solid and responsible innings scoring 95 out of 95 and keeping the hopes of ADK fans alive but Botham cleared his stumps in the last ball of his 5th Over, entering the filed at a position of 184/6,requiring a run rate of 6.13, Karthick and Jadeja played a excellent innings and took the game to an nail biting final over, In spite of Jadeja and Karthik's 86 runs partnership for the 7th wicket, KKR bolwers dominated the game and ended with their first home win for their fans by 5 runs.
AB De Villiers was awarded the Man of the Match for his responsible winning knock.
Now its time to hear few words from the winning managers,
@Samuels "We have developed a sort of pattern that our first few matches are very close where we end up on the winning side"
@themusketeer "Well that's a pretty disappointing performance. Not good at all. Its good that we won the game but we didn't expected a win like this from a team like KKR"
Now moving to the lossing Manager,
@NaviN GandhI "well to be honest that was a good performance from the boys but was not their best, middle orders must have played a responsible innings. AB is a tough player to break and he put our bowlers in a tough position. Our bowlers needs to raise their bars in the upcoming matches. Dhawan, Karthick and Jadeja played a good innings and we are looking forward for their performance to continue in upcoming matches"
@Aravind. " Four reasons for our failure in this match.
1.Disappointed with the way our middle order collapsed Rohit,RTD & Miller(was bit unlucky),but the match result would be different if two of them played sensibly.
2. I had never seen Samuel Badree bowl like this even though he is not a great wicket taker,but he usually bowls with good line & length to control the batsman from scoring big.
3.Strike rate of Maxi is too damn slow,he is expected to give flying start against any body & any pitch,but that doesn't happen he was sent early to do some pinch hitting due to his natural talent of clearing boundaries with ease,but he failed.
4.Ravindra Jadeja failed with the ball.
On the positive note Dhawan,RJ & Dinesh did their job in batting & the great Joel Garner,Marchant de Lange & RTD did their job with the ball.If we were able to correct little mistakes in coming matches then we might go all the way"
Overall the game was a treat to all cricket fans, So lets hear from both fans what he thinks about the game,
KKR Fans "We are slow starters so it doesn't surprise us.
But nevertheless a win is a win no matter how it comes"
Athletico Fans "Karthik and Jadeja almost did it. We made a strong statement that we are not here just to make the count. We are serious contenders for Season 3 and the effort we have put in this match has showed that. Dhawan played a truly sensational inngs against the world class bowling lineup"
Thanks to reporter @PCA for the fan interview.
Hope you all had a great match today.. Catch you all later at the next game, and remember #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata is all set to face the Mighty Mumbai Indians in their second match of round 2. The match is to be played in the newly renovated cricket ground at " Salt lake Stadium " which serves to be the Home ground of Atlético de Kolkata in this season. According to the information we got, there has been few changes in the squad, lets get straight to the manager and see what are the changes.
NaviN GandhI "We are happy with our team's performance in the First match, KKR is one of the favorites for the title and we almost had them in the first match. The lost was due to minor mistakes which we try to rectify in the upcoming matches, has the first step in rectifying that problem we have made some minor changes to the squad, we have brought back Yuvi instead of Maxi and Zaheer instead of Badree in this game. secondly we have made some changes to the line ups. We hoped Maxi will be able to give us some fire power in the opening but that strategy failed for us, So we have planned to bring Karthick up the order. Karthick has opened the batting attack many times for Tamil Nadu and India, his playing style and techniques were excellent in the first game were he scored a steady 55 our of 59. Dhawan was brilliant for us in the first game so with Karthick has his opening partner we believe both can give a steady start. Hashim Amla was not successful in the first match but we all know about his capability so he is the best option for us in the number 2. Middle order has been a big problem for us in the first match but we hope they will be able to contribute well in this game and Yuvi in the middle will be an added bonus for us. The bowling line up of our previous game was pretty good but not up to our expectations. So we have just made few changes to the bowling line up by bringing Zaheer instead of Badree and Yuvi in place of Maxi. By giving his best Zaheer will be able to create a big mess for the opponent batsman's. Yuvi is a much experienced part time bowler who has in times proven to be much successful. There is no major changes, Karthick will keep the wickets as usual and the team will be lead by Rohit. Hope we have have our first victory in front of our home crowd, in our home ground. Thank you."
Yuvraj Singh back into the squad is a treat not only for ADK fans but to all the cricket fans around the world, for the man who fought the cancer, MI will not be a trouble at all. Stay tuned to ADK Fan tweets to know more updates and fans be there in the stadium to watch your favorite team battle.
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Another close thriller pulled by Atlético De Kolkata against Mumbai but the only difference is they managed to win this one. Mumbai Indians gave a tough fight back but was not enough to win the game. Winning the toss in the away pitch Mumbai elected to bowl first in well set Batting pitch, well cant say it was a bad decision has the pitch looked has it wont change in the second innings.
ADK opened the innings with Dhawan and Karthik, things were looking good for Mumbai Indians when they got Dhawan in the first ball of the 6th over but the momentum dint last long. Hasim Amla who had a very good season lat year and top scorer for Atlético De Kolkata ex franchise Hobart Tigers, was able to get back his knocks when his team needed him. Karthik and Amla gave the opponents some tough time in the field, playing some excellent knocks. Karthik was unlucky to miss his half-century in this game as well but will be happy with his contribution to the team. Opening the middle order, Rohit Sharma was able to carry the momentum started by Karthik and played some brilliant knock. But this was not the problem for Mumbai Indians, it was the batsmen on the other end, Hasim Amla who scored a brilliant century in just 74 balls and went on to score the highest score of this season. After the dismissal of Amla, Yuvraj and Ryan was able to carry the score to a decent total. Yuvraj who played his first match in this season made sure that his knock counts, and was well supported by Ryan on the other end. In MI bowling attack Corey Anderson was the only one who gave the fans some satisfaction. At last ADK managed to score 333/5 in 50 overs.
Chasing a tough total MI got big blow when their star opener Gili was dismissed of the first ball by ADK star bowler Garner, after that ADK bowlers really struggled a lot to restrict MI batsman's and to be fair all the players contributed well especially Javed and Raina who managed to score a beautiful half-century. Root, Pollard and Starc contributed on the other ends and was looking well settled. MI batsman's brought their team very close to the winning position, but what happened? The legend Joel Garner happened. Needing 9 of last 6 balls, Garner contained the opposition to 4 runs which eventually fetched Atlético De Kolkata their first home soil victory and the first under the new franchise by just 5 runs. Yes, the same number under which ADK lost their first match. Whats is up with ADK and 5 runs? is it lucky or unlucky to them? Let this mystery be unsolved.
Hasim Amla was selected has the Man of the Match for his elegant knock of 130.
Now its time to here it from the winning manager.
@NaviN GandhI "We are really happy for the way the team played, our players deserve this victory. Amla was brilliant in the field and we all knew how dangerous he is once he start going. I would also like to appreciate Karthik, Rohit and Yuvraj was their wonderful contribution which helped the team post a good total. To be frank this was a chase able target and our bowlers were quite expensive but at last Big bird was there to get us to the height, the last over was the crucial one and Garner managed to make that count. We are happy with the team and the way the players carry them and Rohit has proven to be a potential captain.
We has a management would like to thank the fans who took some time off to watch the game live form the stadium, I believe the cheer from them helped us to gain this victory. We dedicate this victory to our loving fans. Thank you."
@Aravind. "Our batsman did a great job on a batting friendly track,all of them played really well expect Dhawan,but you can't expect him to do the job every time hence others stepped in,Amla take a bow it shows what a great batsman he is & in bowling the great Joel Garner was tidy & took the wicket of Gilchrist in the first ball,but experienced Zaheer Khan leaked too many runs unusually which put pressure on others & Marchant de Lange economy rate has made this match as a tight one.We are a far better side than this match especially on bowling,hope we will show our potential & win games with ease in coming rounds."
Well ADK fans did you hear that ? This victory is dedicated to you guys so enjoy your teams amazing victory and support your team in future matches too by coming to the stadium. Stay tuned for more news and updates from inside of Atlético De Kolkata. #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata will be facing Kochi Tuskers Kerala in their third match in this league. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up.
@NaviN GandhI "The previous match went good for us, So we are not making any major changes to our line up, Dhawan and Karthik will continue to be our opening pair, followed by the inform Hashim Amla, we really hope he gets his form going in this match as well. Yuvi will be opening the middle order attack instead of Rohit, no reason behind it just want to check how good he is at that position. Yuvi really had a great knock in the previous match hope he will continue his form this match too, we have high hope for the left hander. Rohit will follow Yuvi and Doeschate will retain his position who will be followed by JP and Axar who will be replacing Maxi and Miller. We are curious to see how Axar will be performing in his first match. We are confidence on him and his talent.
Bowling attack will be lead by the Big Bird as always. Who will be supported by De Lange, De lange has been very effective for us during some crucial times so hoping he will continue that. Zaheer did not perform has expected so we are bringing in newbie Sandhu in, this chance will be a vital one for his career and we hope he utilize it properly.Doeschate will also be supporting the Pace attack when needed. Spin attack will be lead by Axar, who will be sported by Yuvi and Duminy.
We dont want to take any chance with the bowling this game has this is the department where our players are stugling a bit so we have made some changes here and have brought in some inexperienced players inside so we wanted to give Rohit the full opportunity in the bowling department, it will be interesting to see the decisions taken by him has the captain and we are looking forward to it.
The pitch type at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium,Kochi is usually Normal/Poor so we have selected the lineup accordingly, So if the pitch is changed to excellent then we will be bringing in Maxi in place of Axar, and Maxi will not bowl other than that there wont be any change.
The Fans have supported us throught the game so far, hoping to give a match which they will enjoy every bit of it. We are entering the game with huge confidence from winning our previous game, we will put up a huge fight for sure. To be short 'we will win or die trying' Thank you"
Thats it the squad for the third league match agaist KTK has been finalized and it is quite risky to be playing with seven bowlers in the game. Rohit being the captain of the side will be interesting to see how he use the options he have in bowling department and he needs to make the right decision. Have a look at the final squad below.
This match is going to be very interesting for the fans,so lets wait and watch how the match turns out, stay tuned... #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Winning the toss ADK captain Rohit Sharma choose to bowl which seemed to be a good decision at that time, Cheers every were from the fans surrounded in the stadium created a scene as if Atlético De Kolkata has already won the game but Kochi Tuskers Kerala proved that they strong has tusk.
Losing Mighty Chris Gayle in the beginning gave a good start to Atlético De Kolkata but they failed to maintain it through the game. Sanath Jayasuriya combined with Dilshan got the game going for Kochi Tuskers Kerala but the real turning point came in when Kholi stepped in. Both Sanath and Virat joined force to create a huge partnership which automatically took the team score to a strong position. The momentum was carried by Hobs and Buttler who attacked the bowlers in the end. Atlético De Kolkata bowling was very disappointing and there was no memorable moment.
Chasing a huge target of 306 Atlético De Kolkata openers failed to provide the needed start. Yuvraj and Amla Joined forces to build a solid partnership which was broken by Kochi Tuskers Kerala spinners. After the dismissal of Yuvraj and Amla, the team did not get steady partnership and all the batsman's failed to produced runs on one end, but on the other end Ryan ten Doeschate found his lost form and played a responsible 71 of 67 balls but it was not enough for ADK to reach their target. Kochi Tuskers Kerala won the game by 65 runs.
Now lets hear it from the winning manager.

Aravind. said: ↑
What the hell happened can't believe Garner going at 6.3 RPO was incredible,even the whole team got their starts,but not able to capitalize it,need some most needed tactical changes in next match to stay at the top 3, 'We will win or die trying'.
@NaviN GandhI "Well we were expecting a much better game from the players. Our bowlers have always been a disappointing for us, Hope they all get their game back in line. Like @Aravind. said our team needs some major tweaks and we will be looking into the seriously and try to give a better game to fans in our next match. We like to thank the fans who still supports us. Thank you"

ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata will be facing Hyderabad Hurricanes in their fourth match in this league. ADK is in a neutral position in the league, if they could win the upcoming game then they will be able to have a chance to get into the qualifier or it is going to be hard for them to find a place. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up. So lets move to them.
@NaviN GandhI "well we have made some tactical changes to the squad. Sharma will be opening the game with Dhawan this time has our openers have failed to perform we bring in Sharma up the line up hoping he will be able to perform responsibly.
We are bringing in David Miller back to the squad to give him one more chance at the middle order along with Karthik which will make our middle order little strong.
Bowling attack will be lead by Garner along with Zaheer and De Lange, and spin will be lead by part time spinners Jadeja and Yuvi. We know that this is not a very big change to the lineup but these small changes may play a crucial part in the game and we are very confidence on the the team and Rohit captaincy.
The game is played at our home ground which is a added bonus for us, we are leading the fans count for this season so we are hoping to see lot of fans coming to the stadium to watch the game. We have disappointed many of the fans with our recent performance but we are capable of bouncing back strong and we will. Hyderabad Hurricanes is at the bottom of the points table but it is a very good team and has the capacity to turn the match around at any time. So we are looking forward for a strong challenge from them. We believe players give their best in the field to win this game. Final squad and the pitch type will be announced by @Aravind. Thank you"
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Atlético De Kolkata celebrating their second victory in the league against Hyderabad Hurricanes which was easy as cooking noodles. Winning the toss ADK captain Rohit choose to bowl which was a wise decision given the condition of the pitch. Supporting the captains decision the Big Bird Jo started striking from the first over. Jo managed to bring down Herschelle Gibbs in the first ball of the innings and Lara in the next ball, we were able to see the range of Garner who was disappointed with his performance in the last match. Giving two wickets in two balls Hyderabad Hurricanes were relying big on their middle order to thrive but the shock came to fans when Sangakkara was given a slow LBW in out-swing bowled by Doeschate, Atlético De Kolkata is lucky not to have Review system in the league has that was a very close call and could have gone either way if it was reviewed. Struggling to face Atlético De Kolkata bowling attack Sachin and Azharuddin joined hands to form a steady partnership but it did not last long has Yuvi managed to take the wicket of Sachin who is considered to be his mentor. Breaking this partnership following Hyderabad Hurricanes batsman never had a real chance against Atlético De Kolkata bowling attack. At last HH ended up scoring just 217 all out in 43.2 overs. Garner and Doeschate picked 3 wickets each.
Having a good batting line up, Atlético De Kolkata players entered the pitch confidently to chase the competitive target. Dhawan gave his wicket in the early stage of the game to Vass which was the only momentum where Hyderabad Hurricanes would have hoped to win the game but it was shattered but the remaining batsman. Rohit, Amala and Doeschate played their parts by contributing 30s and 40s respectively but the real game changer was Yuvi's innings of 78 which took the game long way back from Hyderabad Hurricanes. Atlético De Kolkata was able to make an comfortable 6 wickets win.
Yuvraj Singh was awarded the man of the match for his all rounder performance.
Now lets move on to the post match Interview, first lets hear it from the winning manager.
@NaviN GandhI "We are happy with the performance of the bowlers, we were worried about their performance but they have proved to be effective in this game. All credits for winning this game goes to @Aravind. has he was the one who made some major change to the line up. Hyderabad Hurricanes are a very strong team on papers, they have some huge names, it is shocking to see them fail. well shocking and happy. Hope we carry this momentum to the next game as well. Thank you"
Aravind. said: ↑
Bowlers bowled brilliantly especially the great Joel Garner,which was backed up with some great batting especially Yuvi who show cased his all round ability in this match,our team is well balanced with great specialist in all departments,hope we will continue to perform in this manner.
Moving to the loosing manager.
Baahubali said: ↑
There's something going one, but we dunno what is that. how on earth a team with Sachin, Lara, Azhar, Gibbs, Sanga, Boult, Vaas, Murali and many more, lose four matches in a row.
Baahubali said: ↑
it is really frustrating and disappointing about this. one of the best team on paper is giving out 2 free points for every opposition
.
This is a happy moment for all the ADK fans out there. Like manager Navin said lets hope they carry this momentum through the season.
Moving on to the current standings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Southampton Samurai are comfortably placed at the top of the table whereas all other teams except Bayern Munich and Hyderabad Hurricanes are fighting for the third place sharing same points in the table, lets hear from the league manager @PCA.
Six teams fighting for two spots we just have to wait and watch to see how this turns, we also like to take this opportunity to thank the league partner @SixerBoy11 for watching over each match and conducting a fair game in the pitch. More matches and news to come so stay tuned. #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata will be facing Durban Dolphins in their fifth match in this league. After winning the previous game ADK would have through that they have a chance at the Qualifier but unfortunately not, all the other matches played out to be not in favor of ADK and they are still in Cat on the wall situation. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up. So lets move to them.
@NaviN GandhI "We haven't made any big changes to the squad. Just two changes, Denesh Ramdin comes in instead of Dinesh Karthik and Samuel Badree instead of Zaheer Khan. We want to try out Ramdin once, find out his potential simultaneously Karthik needs some time out has he has been playing lot of cricket in the recent time, so we think this break will help him gain some rest and fitness along the way. The decision of bringing in Badree is very simple, its due to the fact that Abu Dhabi pitch is spin favored and we wanted one spin specialist in. Other than that we haven't made any changes to the line up or the squad. Aravind will be updating the final squad next.
Well it is finally announced. ADK squad for the upcoming match and it is pretty the same has last time so lets hope we get the same result has last match. Next lets have peek at he squad of Durban Dolphins which was announced yearly by one of it manager.

So this game is going to be a game changer for both the teams. Lets have a quick look at the point table which will be announced by the league manager @PCA . He will also announce the fan count till date along with the point table.
So has always Atletico De Kolkata is leading the fan count and we hope we will lead it until the end of season. This kind of crazy fans will give the players a strong reason to perform well. So lets wait and watch if the players full fill the dreams of 20,000+ fans. #wewillwinordietrying

Lets have a small look into what happened at Salt lake on that day, Winning the toss Rohit decided to bat first has ADK wanted to put some score on the board so that it will raise some pressure on the opponents. Coming into bat I should say the managers new plan of getting David Miller to open with Dhawan failed has both fell early to Bravo, Atlético De Kolkata was 11/2 at which Bayern Munich would have thought at the game was in their hand but the situation totally changed when Yuvi joined bats with Amla. Both brought the team to a strong position with a partnership of 75 from 78 balls, they were steadily steering the ball into runs. At last Bayern Munich got a bit of relief when Rahat took the wicket of Amla, and in few more balls Rohit was also caught leg before the wicket by Bravo but still match did not turn around, Out of form Maxi joined force with Yuvi to put up a huge partnership of 118 from 99 balls.
After the fall of Yuvi and Maxi the team had a good small partnership from Grant Elliot and Karthick. Finally the team managed to score 311 for 9 in 50 overs. For Bayern Munich Bravo was the lone warrior in bowling who managed to pick 6 wickets and it is one of the best spell in this season.
Coming to chase a hard target of 312 in 50 overs Bayern Munich really fought back well. Both the top orders and Middle orders performed well but there was not any huge contribution from anyone other than Viv Richards. Viv was spectacular in the field, he manged to score 90 in just 75 balls which contained 3 sixers and 10 fours. Atlético De Kolkata bowlers were very good in containing the opponent from scoring runs. At last Atlético De Kolkata managed to win their 3rd consecutive win at home by 21 runs.
Yuvi was awarded Man Of The Match for his 97 runs.
Now moving on to the interview with the winning managers.
@NaviN GandhI "We are happy with the performance of our team, The players expresed well in the field and we believe we haven't let the home fans down this time as well and we are very happy about this, but we are not planning to stop here. We want to win our first away match this season and our ultimate goal is to qualify for the qualifiers and we are not planning to stop until we achieve that. Thank you."

MATCH PREVIEW
Bayern Munich vs Atlético de Kolkata
It's a do or die prospect...
The salt lake will see a team drowning, because one will surely be eliminated. This game is a crucial game for both the teams, Atlético de Kolkata looks to be the favorites to win this game. They have won 2 out of the 5 games they've played, whereas Bayern could only manage to win 1. Bayern Munich needs to win this game to stay in the competition, Atlético can manage to stay in this competition even if they lose this game. Either way, this will be extremely demoralizing for the losing team.
Players to watch out for, are...
Lance Klusener (Bayern Munich)
The South African all-rounder has been in a terrific form, both with the ball and bat. Being Bayern's third highest run-scorer, and Bayern's leading wicket taker. He's expected to play a vital role in the next game, whatsoever.
Joel "The big bird" Garner (Atlético de Kolkata)
This guy can swing the match either way in just a single over, both with the bat and the ball. He's the leading wicket taker for Kolkata so far.
Aaron Finch (Bayern Munich)
The centurion from the last game and a really could batsman, that has form in his side can be absolutely destructive on his day. And hopefully, the match day is gonna be his day.
Hashim Amla (Atlético de Kolkata)
Hashim Amla can literally make the opposition cry, with his handwork, immense talent and sheer class!

Kochi Tuskers Kerala v Southampton Samurai
Kochi : With a well settled batting unit and an attacking bowling line-up in their rank, a rampaging Southampton Samurai will look to continue their good run when they take on Kochi Tuskers Kerala in the sixth round of the T20 cricket tournament here on Sunday. SS , led by MS Dhoni, had started their campaign with a winning streak. Their top order has been on song opening batsman with Brendon McCulum stitching some solid partnerships in all the matches, forming a bulwark against the new ball.
When we consider the tuskers matches,they are facing little struggle in the bowling section as only wasim akram and Tahir showing some good skills.
As the tuskers get home support,anything can happen.They have a good and powerful batting section.They can score or chase any big total.
Imran Khan (Southampton Samurai)
This man can turn the match from any over. He is one of the leading
wicket taker and run holder of SS.
Chris Gayle (Kochi Tuskers Kerala)
If this man comes to form in this match, every thing comes under the tuskers.
He is the Power Storm of the tuskers.

Mumbai are surely the form team at the moment; they have won their last 2 of their four completed matches, while their opponents Lahore have won only 2 of their four matches.

MATCH PREVIEW
Mumbai Indians had a terrible season in the last month with just winning two of their 8 league matches and one being rained off. With the new season underway the team has bought 12 new players with retaining just six of the previous season. They signed Javed Miandad for a record 2.4 Million and some of the signings were quite high with the intention of winning. The batting department has been improved with the signing of Marlon Samuels, Joe Root and Suresh Raina. With some interesting signings of All-Rounders like Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard, Andre Rusell and Mitch Marsh. Fast Bowlers were give the highest priority as Mitch Starc, Tim Southee, James Anderson were purchased.
Mumbai spent a sum of 16.55 Million in buying of players.
Southampton Samurai too had a bad ending to a well started Season 2. WIth finishing sixth in the league stage after having full chance of qualifying. Signings of Wally Hammond for 1,600,000 and Mahela Jayawardene for a 950,000 may make a bit difference as the Southampton based franchise kept it simple. With big names like Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum and Steven Smith in the batting order increases the chances of a high-scoring thriller. With MS Dhoni's captaincy the Samurais are at a bit more high level. Some good names in the bowling department as well proves that its going to be a thriller.
Southampton Spent just a 2.5 Million in the player signings.
Where?
The Rose Bowl, Southampton

Atlético de Kolkata Announcement
Welcome everyone to the preview of Round 1 between Kolkata Vs Kolkata, you heard it right Atlético de Kolkata is facing the mighty Kolkata Knight Riders. This Match is going to be a treat for all the Kolkata fans. Match is taking place at Eden Gardens, the third-largest cricket stadium in the world but the pitch type for the match is unknown yet.
I know what you all are waiting for, The squad... Yes Manager NaviN will be announcing his squad first to us has promised so lets not waste any more time and get straight to him.
NaviN Gandhi "The squad for Round 1 is here, this is the final squad which me and @Aravind. have agreed upon.
Shikhar Dhawan and Maxi will be opening the attack for us, Dhawan has been a solid opener for India in recent matches and we are hoping to get the start from him for us, Maxi has not opened in any match I believe but we all know his aggressive capability so we are pulling him up the order to give a push start in the batting, Hashim has been the most successive and consistent player in season 1 for us and for his teams Internationally so we are expecting a lot from him.
Rohit Sharma, Ryan Ten Doeschate, David Miller, Dinesh Karthik and Ravindra Jadeja will be leading the charge in the middle order. Sharma has been given the responsibility to handle the team and we decided to move him down the order to add some strength to the middle order has we believe he can keep wickets and strike when needed and so is Miller, we all know his capability of striking the ball and rotating strikes when needed. Ryan Ten Doeschate, Sir Jadeja and Karthik can quick fire the balls which will help us in scoring a big total.
Joel Garner will be leading the bowling attack for us, his experience and talent will help our bowling attack to give an aggressive start. De Lange has performed well in season 1 so we expect the same from hims this time along with Joel. Samuel Badree will be leading the spin attack along with Sir Jadeja and Maxi. Ryan Ten will be our 6th optional bowler which the captain can use if needed.
There must be some questions rising about the exclusion of yuvi from the main eleven, but what we have to say for the fans is that we are trying some combinations out here and saving the best for the later stage of the game.
Overall we have a very team who can play aggressively and responsibly.KKR under the leader ship of Managers @themusketeer and @Samuels has a solid team who can give a some tough time to our players but we have a very good solid players in our team who can play according the situation. We are hoping to win our first match away from home which will give a great confidence for the players. Thank you."
The first round of the league is about to begin, lets all get ready for a mind blowing start from the two huge team, let the best win the game. Stay tuned..
Atlético De Kolkata Post Match Review
Well the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders will be delighted with the win and it was a disappointing loss to the Atlético De Kolkata.. Lets get into the match post review.
It was a total plus for KKR that they won the toss, they know the condition of the home pitch and without any doubt they went straight into batting. Azhar and Ganguly where looking little good until big bird started shaking things up like an earthquake and KKR players started falling, until Sir Garry and AB came to the ground, both took the game off from ADK, both looked steady and strong which placed more pressure on the young captain Rohit who made some wrong calls in the field. Villiers was totally taking the game away from ADK before Lange got him before the wicket, with the steady platform set by AD and Garry, it was easy for Ross and Kapil to take the momentum forward to post a chalenging total of 270 in 50 overs.
Defending a challenging total KKR bowlers started off with wickets flying all over, KDR managers decision to bring maxi up the order did not work well for them and they lost him in the beginning stage of the game, followed by a Hasim losing his wicket. Middle order of ADK totally collapsed under the spin attack of the legend Shane Warne, but on the other hand opener Dhawan was playing a very solid and responsible innings scoring 95 out of 95 and keeping the hopes of ADK fans alive but Botham cleared his stumps in the last ball of his 5th Over, entering the filed at a position of 184/6,requiring a run rate of 6.13, Karthick and Jadeja played a excellent innings and took the game to an nail biting final over, In spite of Jadeja and Karthik's 86 runs partnership for the 7th wicket, KKR bolwers dominated the game and ended with their first home win for their fans by 5 runs.
AB De Villiers was awarded the Man of the Match for his responsible winning knock.
Now its time to hear few words from the winning managers,
@Samuels "We have developed a sort of pattern that our first few matches are very close where we end up on the winning side"
@themusketeer "Well that's a pretty disappointing performance. Not good at all. Its good that we won the game but we didn't expected a win like this from a team like KKR"
Now moving to the lossing Manager,
@NaviN GandhI "well to be honest that was a good performance from the boys but was not their best, middle orders must have played a responsible innings. AB is a tough player to break and he put our bowlers in a tough position. Our bowlers needs to raise their bars in the upcoming matches. Dhawan, Karthick and Jadeja played a good innings and we are looking forward for their performance to continue in upcoming matches"
@Aravind. " Four reasons for our failure in this match.
1.Disappointed with the way our middle order collapsed Rohit,RTD & Miller(was bit unlucky),but the match result would be different if two of them played sensibly.
2. I had never seen Samuel Badree bowl like this even though he is not a great wicket taker,but he usually bowls with good line & length to control the batsman from scoring big.
3.Strike rate of Maxi is too damn slow,he is expected to give flying start against any body & any pitch,but that doesn't happen he was sent early to do some pinch hitting due to his natural talent of clearing boundaries with ease,but he failed.
4.Ravindra Jadeja failed with the ball.
On the positive note Dhawan,RJ & Dinesh did their job in batting & the great Joel Garner,Marchant de Lange & RTD did their job with the ball.If we were able to correct little mistakes in coming matches then we might go all the way"
Overall the game was a treat to all cricket fans, So lets hear from both fans what he thinks about the game,
KKR Fans "We are slow starters so it doesn't surprise us.
But nevertheless a win is a win no matter how it comes"
Athletico Fans "Karthik and Jadeja almost did it. We made a strong statement that we are not here just to make the count. We are serious contenders for Season 3 and the effort we have put in this match has showed that. Dhawan played a truly sensational inngs against the world class bowling lineup"
Thanks to reporter @PCA for the fan interview.
Hope you all had a great match today.. Catch you all later at the next game, and remember #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata is all set to face the Mighty Mumbai Indians in their second match of round 2. The match is to be played in the newly renovated cricket ground at " Salt lake Stadium " which serves to be the Home ground of Atlético de Kolkata in this season. According to the information we got, there has been few changes in the squad, lets get straight to the manager and see what are the changes.
NaviN GandhI "We are happy with our team's performance in the First match, KKR is one of the favorites for the title and we almost had them in the first match. The lost was due to minor mistakes which we try to rectify in the upcoming matches, has the first step in rectifying that problem we have made some minor changes to the squad, we have brought back Yuvi instead of Maxi and Zaheer instead of Badree in this game. secondly we have made some changes to the line ups. We hoped Maxi will be able to give us some fire power in the opening but that strategy failed for us, So we have planned to bring Karthick up the order. Karthick has opened the batting attack many times for Tamil Nadu and India, his playing style and techniques were excellent in the first game were he scored a steady 55 our of 59. Dhawan was brilliant for us in the first game so with Karthick has his opening partner we believe both can give a steady start. Hashim Amla was not successful in the first match but we all know about his capability so he is the best option for us in the number 2. Middle order has been a big problem for us in the first match but we hope they will be able to contribute well in this game and Yuvi in the middle will be an added bonus for us. The bowling line up of our previous game was pretty good but not up to our expectations. So we have just made few changes to the bowling line up by bringing Zaheer instead of Badree and Yuvi in place of Maxi. By giving his best Zaheer will be able to create a big mess for the opponent batsman's. Yuvi is a much experienced part time bowler who has in times proven to be much successful. There is no major changes, Karthick will keep the wickets as usual and the team will be lead by Rohit. Hope we have have our first victory in front of our home crowd, in our home ground. Thank you."
Yuvraj Singh back into the squad is a treat not only for ADK fans but to all the cricket fans around the world, for the man who fought the cancer, MI will not be a trouble at all. Stay tuned to ADK Fan tweets to know more updates and fans be there in the stadium to watch your favorite team battle.
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Another close thriller pulled by Atlético De Kolkata against Mumbai but the only difference is they managed to win this one. Mumbai Indians gave a tough fight back but was not enough to win the game. Winning the toss in the away pitch Mumbai elected to bowl first in well set Batting pitch, well cant say it was a bad decision has the pitch looked has it wont change in the second innings.
ADK opened the innings with Dhawan and Karthik, things were looking good for Mumbai Indians when they got Dhawan in the first ball of the 6th over but the momentum dint last long. Hasim Amla who had a very good season lat year and top scorer for Atlético De Kolkata ex franchise Hobart Tigers, was able to get back his knocks when his team needed him. Karthik and Amla gave the opponents some tough time in the field, playing some excellent knocks. Karthik was unlucky to miss his half-century in this game as well but will be happy with his contribution to the team. Opening the middle order, Rohit Sharma was able to carry the momentum started by Karthik and played some brilliant knock. But this was not the problem for Mumbai Indians, it was the batsmen on the other end, Hasim Amla who scored a brilliant century in just 74 balls and went on to score the highest score of this season. After the dismissal of Amla, Yuvraj and Ryan was able to carry the score to a decent total. Yuvraj who played his first match in this season made sure that his knock counts, and was well supported by Ryan on the other end. In MI bowling attack Corey Anderson was the only one who gave the fans some satisfaction. At last ADK managed to score 333/5 in 50 overs.
Chasing a tough total MI got big blow when their star opener Gili was dismissed of the first ball by ADK star bowler Garner, after that ADK bowlers really struggled a lot to restrict MI batsman's and to be fair all the players contributed well especially Javed and Raina who managed to score a beautiful half-century. Root, Pollard and Starc contributed on the other ends and was looking well settled. MI batsman's brought their team very close to the winning position, but what happened? The legend Joel Garner happened. Needing 9 of last 6 balls, Garner contained the opposition to 4 runs which eventually fetched Atlético De Kolkata their first home soil victory and the first under the new franchise by just 5 runs. Yes, the same number under which ADK lost their first match. Whats is up with ADK and 5 runs? is it lucky or unlucky to them? Let this mystery be unsolved.
Hasim Amla was selected has the Man of the Match for his elegant knock of 130.
Now its time to here it from the winning manager.
@NaviN GandhI "We are really happy for the way the team played, our players deserve this victory. Amla was brilliant in the field and we all knew how dangerous he is once he start going. I would also like to appreciate Karthik, Rohit and Yuvraj was their wonderful contribution which helped the team post a good total. To be frank this was a chase able target and our bowlers were quite expensive but at last Big bird was there to get us to the height, the last over was the crucial one and Garner managed to make that count. We are happy with the team and the way the players carry them and Rohit has proven to be a potential captain.
We has a management would like to thank the fans who took some time off to watch the game live form the stadium, I believe the cheer from them helped us to gain this victory. We dedicate this victory to our loving fans. Thank you."
@Aravind. "Our batsman did a great job on a batting friendly track,all of them played really well expect Dhawan,but you can't expect him to do the job every time hence others stepped in,Amla take a bow it shows what a great batsman he is & in bowling the great Joel Garner was tidy & took the wicket of Gilchrist in the first ball,but experienced Zaheer Khan leaked too many runs unusually which put pressure on others & Marchant de Lange economy rate has made this match as a tight one.We are a far better side than this match especially on bowling,hope we will show our potential & win games with ease in coming rounds."
Well ADK fans did you hear that ? This victory is dedicated to you guys so enjoy your teams amazing victory and support your team in future matches too by coming to the stadium. Stay tuned for more news and updates from inside of Atlético De Kolkata. #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata will be facing Kochi Tuskers Kerala in their third match in this league. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up.
@NaviN GandhI "The previous match went good for us, So we are not making any major changes to our line up, Dhawan and Karthik will continue to be our opening pair, followed by the inform Hashim Amla, we really hope he gets his form going in this match as well. Yuvi will be opening the middle order attack instead of Rohit, no reason behind it just want to check how good he is at that position. Yuvi really had a great knock in the previous match hope he will continue his form this match too, we have high hope for the left hander. Rohit will follow Yuvi and Doeschate will retain his position who will be followed by JP and Axar who will be replacing Maxi and Miller. We are curious to see how Axar will be performing in his first match. We are confidence on him and his talent.
Bowling attack will be lead by the Big Bird as always. Who will be supported by De Lange, De lange has been very effective for us during some crucial times so hoping he will continue that. Zaheer did not perform has expected so we are bringing in newbie Sandhu in, this chance will be a vital one for his career and we hope he utilize it properly.Doeschate will also be supporting the Pace attack when needed. Spin attack will be lead by Axar, who will be sported by Yuvi and Duminy.
We dont want to take any chance with the bowling this game has this is the department where our players are stugling a bit so we have made some changes here and have brought in some inexperienced players inside so we wanted to give Rohit the full opportunity in the bowling department, it will be interesting to see the decisions taken by him has the captain and we are looking forward to it.
The pitch type at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium,Kochi is usually Normal/Poor so we have selected the lineup accordingly, So if the pitch is changed to excellent then we will be bringing in Maxi in place of Axar, and Maxi will not bowl other than that there wont be any change.
The Fans have supported us throught the game so far, hoping to give a match which they will enjoy every bit of it. We are entering the game with huge confidence from winning our previous game, we will put up a huge fight for sure. To be short 'we will win or die trying' Thank you"
Thats it the squad for the third league match agaist KTK has been finalized and it is quite risky to be playing with seven bowlers in the game. Rohit being the captain of the side will be interesting to see how he use the options he have in bowling department and he needs to make the right decision. Have a look at the final squad below.
This match is going to be very interesting for the fans,so lets wait and watch how the match turns out, stay tuned... #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Winning the toss ADK captain Rohit Sharma choose to bowl which seemed to be a good decision at that time, Cheers every were from the fans surrounded in the stadium created a scene as if Atlético De Kolkata has already won the game but Kochi Tuskers Kerala proved that they strong has tusk.
Losing Mighty Chris Gayle in the beginning gave a good start to Atlético De Kolkata but they failed to maintain it through the game. Sanath Jayasuriya combined with Dilshan got the game going for Kochi Tuskers Kerala but the real turning point came in when Kholi stepped in. Both Sanath and Virat joined force to create a huge partnership which automatically took the team score to a strong position. The momentum was carried by Hobs and Buttler who attacked the bowlers in the end. Atlético De Kolkata bowling was very disappointing and there was no memorable moment.
Chasing a huge target of 306 Atlético De Kolkata openers failed to provide the needed start. Yuvraj and Amla Joined forces to build a solid partnership which was broken by Kochi Tuskers Kerala spinners. After the dismissal of Yuvraj and Amla, the team did not get steady partnership and all the batsman's failed to produced runs on one end, but on the other end Ryan ten Doeschate found his lost form and played a responsible 71 of 67 balls but it was not enough for ADK to reach their target. Kochi Tuskers Kerala won the game by 65 runs.
Now lets hear it from the winning manager.

What the hell happened can't believe Garner going at 6.3 RPO was incredible,even the whole team got their starts,but not able to capitalize it,need some most needed tactical changes in next match to stay at the top 3, 'We will win or die trying'.
@NaviN GandhI "Well we were expecting a much better game from the players. Our bowlers have always been a disappointing for us, Hope they all get their game back in line. Like @Aravind. said our team needs some major tweaks and we will be looking into the seriously and try to give a better game to fans in our next match. We like to thank the fans who still supports us. Thank you"

ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT
Atlético de Kolkata will be facing Hyderabad Hurricanes in their fourth match in this league. ADK is in a neutral position in the league, if they could win the upcoming game then they will be able to have a chance to get into the qualifier or it is going to be hard for them to find a place. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up. So lets move to them.
@NaviN GandhI "well we have made some tactical changes to the squad. Sharma will be opening the game with Dhawan this time has our openers have failed to perform we bring in Sharma up the line up hoping he will be able to perform responsibly.
We are bringing in David Miller back to the squad to give him one more chance at the middle order along with Karthik which will make our middle order little strong.
Bowling attack will be lead by Garner along with Zaheer and De Lange, and spin will be lead by part time spinners Jadeja and Yuvi. We know that this is not a very big change to the lineup but these small changes may play a crucial part in the game and we are very confidence on the the team and Rohit captaincy.
The game is played at our home ground which is a added bonus for us, we are leading the fans count for this season so we are hoping to see lot of fans coming to the stadium to watch the game. We have disappointed many of the fans with our recent performance but we are capable of bouncing back strong and we will. Hyderabad Hurricanes is at the bottom of the points table but it is a very good team and has the capacity to turn the match around at any time. So we are looking forward for a strong challenge from them. We believe players give their best in the field to win this game. Final squad and the pitch type will be announced by @Aravind. Thank you"
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Atlético De Kolkata celebrating their second victory in the league against Hyderabad Hurricanes which was easy as cooking noodles. Winning the toss ADK captain Rohit choose to bowl which was a wise decision given the condition of the pitch. Supporting the captains decision the Big Bird Jo started striking from the first over. Jo managed to bring down Herschelle Gibbs in the first ball of the innings and Lara in the next ball, we were able to see the range of Garner who was disappointed with his performance in the last match. Giving two wickets in two balls Hyderabad Hurricanes were relying big on their middle order to thrive but the shock came to fans when Sangakkara was given a slow LBW in out-swing bowled by Doeschate, Atlético De Kolkata is lucky not to have Review system in the league has that was a very close call and could have gone either way if it was reviewed. Struggling to face Atlético De Kolkata bowling attack Sachin and Azharuddin joined hands to form a steady partnership but it did not last long has Yuvi managed to take the wicket of Sachin who is considered to be his mentor. Breaking this partnership following Hyderabad Hurricanes batsman never had a real chance against Atlético De Kolkata bowling attack. At last HH ended up scoring just 217 all out in 43.2 overs. Garner and Doeschate picked 3 wickets each.
Having a good batting line up, Atlético De Kolkata players entered the pitch confidently to chase the competitive target. Dhawan gave his wicket in the early stage of the game to Vass which was the only momentum where Hyderabad Hurricanes would have hoped to win the game but it was shattered but the remaining batsman. Rohit, Amala and Doeschate played their parts by contributing 30s and 40s respectively but the real game changer was Yuvi's innings of 78 which took the game long way back from Hyderabad Hurricanes. Atlético De Kolkata was able to make an comfortable 6 wickets win.
Yuvraj Singh was awarded the man of the match for his all rounder performance.
Now lets move on to the post match Interview, first lets hear it from the winning manager.
@NaviN GandhI "We are happy with the performance of the bowlers, we were worried about their performance but they have proved to be effective in this game. All credits for winning this game goes to @Aravind. has he was the one who made some major change to the line up. Hyderabad Hurricanes are a very strong team on papers, they have some huge names, it is shocking to see them fail. well shocking and happy. Hope we carry this momentum to the next game as well. Thank you"
Aravind. said: ↑
Bowlers bowled brilliantly especially the great Joel Garner,which was backed up with some great batting especially Yuvi who show cased his all round ability in this match,our team is well balanced with great specialist in all departments,hope we will continue to perform in this manner.
Moving to the loosing manager.
Baahubali said: ↑
There's something going one, but we dunno what is that. how on earth a team with Sachin, Lara, Azhar, Gibbs, Sanga, Boult, Vaas, Murali and many more, lose four matches in a row.
Baahubali said: ↑
it is really frustrating and disappointing about this. one of the best team on paper is giving out 2 free points for every opposition
.This is a happy moment for all the ADK fans out there. Like manager Navin said lets hope they carry this momentum through the season.
Moving on to the current standings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Southampton Samurai are comfortably placed at the top of the table whereas all other teams except Bayern Munich and Hyderabad Hurricanes are fighting for the third place sharing same points in the table, lets hear from the league manager @PCA.
Six teams fighting for two spots we just have to wait and watch to see how this turns, we also like to take this opportunity to thank the league partner @SixerBoy11 for watching over each match and conducting a fair game in the pitch. More matches and news to come so stay tuned. #wewillwinordietrying
ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA ANNOUNCEMENT

After winning the previous game ADK would have through that they have a chance at the Qualifier but unfortunately not, all the other matches played out to be not in favor of ADK and they are still in Cat on the wall situation. Like you we are also eager to know the changes made by the managers to the line up. So lets move to them.
@NaviN GandhI "We haven't made any big changes to the squad. Just two changes, Denesh Ramdin comes in instead of Dinesh Karthik and Samuel Badree instead of Zaheer Khan. We want to try out Ramdin once, find out his potential simultaneously Karthik needs some time out has he has been playing lot of cricket in the recent time, so we think this break will help him gain some rest and fitness along the way. The decision of bringing in Badree is very simple, its due to the fact that Abu Dhabi pitch is spin favored and we wanted one spin specialist in. Other than that we haven't made any changes to the line up or the squad. Aravind will be updating the final squad next.
Well it is finally announced. ADK squad for the upcoming match and it is pretty the same has last time so lets hope we get the same result has last match. Next lets have peek at he squad of Durban Dolphins which was announced yearly by one of it manager.

So this game is going to be a game changer for both the teams. Lets have a quick look at the point table which will be announced by the league manager @PCA . He will also announce the fan count till date along with the point table.
So has always Atletico De Kolkata is leading the fan count and we hope we will lead it until the end of season. This kind of crazy fans will give the players a strong reason to perform well. So lets wait and watch if the players full fill the dreams of 20,000+ fans. #wewillwinordietrying

ATLéTICO DE KOLKATA POST MATCH REVIEW
Atlético De Kolkata managers do not want to celebrate their victory until they manage to secure their place in the top four, But has fans we are proud that our team secured their 3rd win in the home ground. Lets have a small look into what happened at Salt lake on that day, Winning the toss Rohit decided to bat first has ADK wanted to put some score on the board so that it will raise some pressure on the opponents. Coming into bat I should say the managers new plan of getting David Miller to open with Dhawan failed has both fell early to Bravo, Atlético De Kolkata was 11/2 at which Bayern Munich would have thought at the game was in their hand but the situation totally changed when Yuvi joined bats with Amla. Both brought the team to a strong position with a partnership of 75 from 78 balls, they were steadily steering the ball into runs. At last Bayern Munich got a bit of relief when Rahat took the wicket of Amla, and in few more balls Rohit was also caught leg before the wicket by Bravo but still match did not turn around, Out of form Maxi joined force with Yuvi to put up a huge partnership of 118 from 99 balls.
After the fall of Yuvi and Maxi the team had a good small partnership from Grant Elliot and Karthick. Finally the team managed to score 311 for 9 in 50 overs. For Bayern Munich Bravo was the lone warrior in bowling who managed to pick 6 wickets and it is one of the best spell in this season.
Coming to chase a hard target of 312 in 50 overs Bayern Munich really fought back well. Both the top orders and Middle orders performed well but there was not any huge contribution from anyone other than Viv Richards. Viv was spectacular in the field, he manged to score 90 in just 75 balls which contained 3 sixers and 10 fours. Atlético De Kolkata bowlers were very good in containing the opponent from scoring runs. At last Atlético De Kolkata managed to win their 3rd consecutive win at home by 21 runs.
Yuvi was awarded Man Of The Match for his 97 runs.
Now moving on to the interview with the winning managers.
@NaviN GandhI "We are happy with the performance of our team, The players expresed well in the field and we believe we haven't let the home fans down this time as well and we are very happy about this, but we are not planning to stop here. We want to win our first away match this season and our ultimate goal is to qualify for the qualifiers and we are not planning to stop until we achieve that. Thank you."
Aravind. said: ↑
Great team win for us,every body in the team performed their tasks in a good manner.
Lets see if the losing managers has something to say.
Na Maloom Afraad said: ↑
Aahh,,, shit.

We have Completed our part. now its time for our players. Brian Lara
will announce the line-up for the match against Atletico De Kolkata and
Kumar Sangakkara will announce the more information over HHC.
there's something going one, but we dunno what is that. how on earth a team with Sachin, Lara, Azhar, Gibbs, Sanga, Boult, Vaas, Murali and many more, lose four matches in a row.
it is really frustrating and disappointing about this. one of the best team on paper is giving out 2 free points for every opposition

a victory at last. though happy for victory, feeling like that victory wasn't deserved one. winning with 1 wicket chasing 240 with that batting order, isn't good. hope that we will continue this form for next 5 matches

The Munich's captain, Vivian Richards said, "We will rise like a Phoenix rises from it's own ashes". Not so entirely large crowd is supposed to come to the stadium to support their team after the horrific start, their team had. Though, Mumbai's batsmen, Javed Miandad, Joe Root & Adam Gilchrist are expected to make a solid statement. This match can turn out to be an exciting exciting encounter, between two evenly balanced sides.
Players to watch out for...
Javed Miandad (Mumbai Indians)
Joe Root (Mumbai Indians)

Bayern Munich vs Hyderabad Hurricanes
A match between the two bottom ranked teams...
This 25th game of the tournament will be played between Bayern Munich and Hyderabad Hurricanes at Hyderabad. The match is supposed to be a thriller between two teams that have had their ups-and-lows recently. The vice captain of Bayern Munich, Steve Waugh has stated, "Burn our statues on the roads if we don't win this one" after being inspired by Jaikaant Shikre... Politician
Hehehe... Well, this still is a must win game and the...
Players to watch out for, are...
Lance Klusener (Bayern Munich)
The South African all-rounder has been in a terrific form, both with the ball and bat. He's expected to play a vital role in the next game, whatsoever.
Liam Plunkett (Bayern Munich)
This man is the one who Bayern is going to rely on, if He can kick and get them wickets upfront, then I'm sure that they can the victory together.
Aaron Finch (Bayern Munich)
The centurion from the last game and a really could batsman, that has form in his side can be absolutely destructive on his day. And hopefully, the match day is gonna be his day.
MATCH PREVIEW
Bayern Munich vs Atlético de Kolkata
It's a do or die prospect...
The salt lake will see a team drowning, because one will surely be eliminated. This game is a crucial game for both the teams, Atlético de Kolkata looks to be the favorites to win this game. They have won 2 out of the 5 games they've played, whereas Bayern could only manage to win 1. Bayern Munich needs to win this game to stay in the competition, Atlético can manage to stay in this competition even if they lose this game. Either way, this will be extremely demoralizing for the losing team.
Players to watch out for, are...
Lance Klusener (Bayern Munich)
The South African all-rounder has been in a terrific form, both with the ball and bat. Being Bayern's third highest run-scorer, and Bayern's leading wicket taker. He's expected to play a vital role in the next game, whatsoever.
Joel "The big bird" Garner (Atlético de Kolkata)
This guy can swing the match either way in just a single over, both with the bat and the ball. He's the leading wicket taker for Kolkata so far.
Aaron Finch (Bayern Munich)
The centurion from the last game and a really could batsman, that has form in his side can be absolutely destructive on his day. And hopefully, the match day is gonna be his day.
Hashim Amla (Atlético de Kolkata)
Hashim Amla can literally make the opposition cry, with his handwork, immense talent and sheer class!
4. Southampton Samurai - 13000 Fans
The Southampton management has announced alongside the recent lineup that new signing Wally Hammond will be taking the captaincy for the upcoming season, perhaps a sign of vulnerability with MS Dhoni's position in the team given McCullums availability with the gloves and the requirement for rotation of several other high quality players.
Also new to the team, Mahela Jayawerdene, slots into the opening position that has been a constant weak spot in the Samurai team in the first 2 seasons. There have been rumors of curses over the position as the likes of Alex Hales and Ravi Bopara all tried their luck with unfortunate stats to show for it.
Garry Ballance will be someone disappointed at his omission from the team given his stylish finish to last season hitting 244 runs in his only 3 games, something that may come to the minds of the Samurai management if the batting fails in the upcoming game.

Absoloutely stunning performance from us yet again, our batting order seems unstoppable at the moment with McCullum and Jayawerdene regularly giving us some great starts. Going to be tough deciding who to drop to give our other players some time in the middle. Good to see our bowlers backing it up well and maintaining the pressure as well!
what a brilliant way to win from an extremely tough situation. We looked down and out at the halfway stage but economical and wicket taking bowling showed we can win in all circumstances now making it 4/4!
Good to see despite temporary availabilities of us as managers we're still maintaining a good fan count and extremely respectable run so far. It's season 1 all over again with SS fighting it out with KKR then! Let's hope we can carry on our winning streak.
A disappointing result for us in such a large game that could mean so much as to who tops the table. After a very good start in the first innings De Villiers and Ross Taylor predictably started to take it away from us again, when you get Sobers cheap you've got to capitalise on it! Early wickets then didn't help us and Imran Khan managed to restore a bit of dignity to our total at the end.
Thought Imran Khan had completely screwed us up with his failed attempt at finishing the innings there but that was a brilliant bowling display for us to restrict them to that score and maintain our 2nd position! Mendis is that silent player in the background who just keeps doing well for us and not getting much credit.
5. Sydney Dynamo - 11,500 Fans
So this season we have 6 regular bowlers.Our key to victory will be Don Bradman and Hayden.
The arrival of Shaun Pollock has given us much needed confidence and he'll be leading the attack.
Hyderabad seems quite invincible, but we'll try our best to win the opening game of the season.

Hyderabad seems quite invincible, but we'll try our best to win the opening game of the season.
That's a fantastic victory! Despite of losing Hayden, Bradman & Clarke earlier on in the innings we somehow managed to post a good total, Thanks to Faf and our lower order. Pollock's strike rate of"129.4%" was amazing considering the fact that he was facing bowlers like Muralitharan & Mitchell Johnson. Wayne Parnell's brisk 20 from 23 balls made it possible for us to cross the 250 mark.
The most impressive part of this win was our bowling. We started off quite poorly, allowing the openers to put up a partnership of 117 runs.It was only a matter of time when the first wicket fell, leading a collapse. Junaid took the important wickets of Sachin & Gibbs. Shakib did well to dismiss Lara. Clint McKay seems to be out of form.
In the end, this was a much needed victory and it was important to start off the tournament well.Shakib deserved the man of the match award. Hope we can continue playing well. #gloryglorysydneydynamo
That moment when Sachin+Sanga+Bradman scored less runs than Lord Faf #thuglife.

Well, how unfortunate for us having both Hayden & Faf run out at 0. Bradman, Clarke, Stewart & Shakib played extraordinarily well to cover it up for us. Best part of our batting was the strike rate of Bradman, Stewart & Clarke 
. The partnership of 127 from just 100 balls between Clarke & Don Bradman turned the game for us. Would've loved to see Bradman score a ton, after playing so well he deserved it 
.Very pleased with Stewart's performance, hitting 7 fours and 1 six to finish off the innings for us.
Having scored 285 runs while batting first, we'd already done 80% of the work required to win this match.While bowling, we allowed their openers to settle well and score big, just like the previous game our opening bowlers failed to strike early. I guess, we won't be playing McKay anymore after another disappointing performance with the ball. There isn't much to say about our bowling. Finn was our best bowler of the day as he picked up two wickets and maintained an economy rate of 4.44. Parnell lost bowling form and couldn't contribute to the score either. Pollock struck back by dismissing Steve Waugh, but it was too late. In the end Bravo & Plunkett finished the job for them.
To the fans:
We know we've disappointed many of our fans by losing a game that could've been won quite comprehensively. It was nothing but a bad day at the office. Do expect us to rise again and keep up the support #gloryglorysydneydynamo .

Also giving Mustafizur Rahman a chance due to his excellent form in recent real life matches.We definitely hope he performs well and picks up a couple of wickets.We also expect a lot from Matthew Hayden, to give us an excellent start by scoring 50+ runs. No changes in our middle order as they've been playing splendidly well. Need Pollock to perform, this time with the ball.
Our bowlers cost us the match, once again. So far Shaun Pollock hasn't lived up to our expectations. His recent batting & bowling performances aren't helping the team.That's not a good sign for a bowler of his class. Surprisingly, Parnell was the only bowler with a decent economy rate. This performance has been taken into consideration and we'll make sure non of these mistakes will be repeated again.
Looking at our batting performance, Bradman has let us down yet again, with his 2nd single digit score in the last 3 innings.That doesn't define the best batsman ever . Can't say much about Clarke as he got out trying to play a quick knock under immense pressure. Stewart came to the rescue, but played quite a slow paced innings with a strike rate of 79.6%. Perhaps if Hayden would've carried on, the match result would've been different. Nevertheless, the whole team is to be blamed for this loss. We're thankful to all of our fans who were there for us and had supported us throughout the game, only to witness their team lose in the end.

Our bowling was just fine. Finn & Parnell were a bit expensive with the ball, but I guess that's fine considering their batting line-up.
Amazed at our batting innings. After starting off so well, yet we failed. Hayden & Don provided the perfect start, and that was just what we needed. Soon after the dismissal of Bradman, we had lost our scoring rate. Clarke really should've maintained the run rate. Faf, with a strike rate of 106.7%, played exceptionally well. In the end, it was Stewart & Shakib's slow innings that cost us the match. Parnell, as a matter of fact, could've finished it off too. We can't win matches if our batsmen continue to bat with a low strike rate.

Hell Yeah A victory for us Finally (Bradman needs to improve while the other batsman did a good job and Clarke wow just wow 4 wickets plus a fifty and finally Pollock did something good)
Splendid victory for us. @Umair2000 is a genius 
. Who would have thought that Michael Clarke, after bowling for the very first time in the season, would pick up a 4 wicket haul. Clearly, it was Michael Clarke's excellent all round performance that won us the match. Also, not to forget that he batted with a strike rate of 100+. Alec Stewart continued his good run in the season after top scoring for us once again. Overall, We put up a good total.
Seemingly, we had a lot of improvement in our bowling performance. Shaun Pollock's early strikes followed by Clarke's 4-wicket haul being the highlight of the game. However, Junaid Khan's economy rate is something to be concerned about. Chris Gayle played really well, but he was unlucky to miss out on a well deserved hundred.
Looking at the points table, we stand on the 5th position along with 3 other teams. That goes on to show how tough the competition is. Hope we'll be back into the top 4 soon.

Another day, another defeat for the Dynamos. This isn't gonna get us anywhere. Seriously, I had much better expectations from the team this time around. Even Bradman fails to score 50+. He has been piss poor this season. I Hope a little shift in the batting order would fix things up. As a matter of fact, our batting has been quite overrated. During the transfer period, our main target was to strengthen our bowling attack. Junaid Khan's superb bowling display is one of the few positives for us from this match. I wish he continues to bowl the same way. Pollock played a good knock but it was too late then.

MATCH PREVIEW
Kochi Tuskers Kerala v Southampton Samurai
Kochi : With a well settled batting unit and an attacking bowling line-up in their rank, a rampaging Southampton Samurai will look to continue their good run when they take on Kochi Tuskers Kerala in the sixth round of the T20 cricket tournament here on Sunday. SS , led by MS Dhoni, had started their campaign with a winning streak. Their top order has been on song opening batsman with Brendon McCulum stitching some solid partnerships in all the matches, forming a bulwark against the new ball.
When we consider the tuskers matches,they are facing little struggle in the bowling section as only wasim akram and Tahir showing some good skills.
As the tuskers get home support,anything can happen.They have a good and powerful batting section.They can score or chase any big total.
Imran Khan (Southampton Samurai)
This man can turn the match from any over. He is one of the leading
wicket taker and run holder of SS.
Chris Gayle (Kochi Tuskers Kerala)
If this man comes to form in this match, every thing comes under the tuskers.
He is the Power Storm of the tuskers.

Well played SS They got a good start by their openers
B.McCullum & J.Trott later
S Smith & Hammond 's 83 runs 3rd wicket partnership helped to score 220+
which is defendible score in such a pitch
our bowlers should had to perform little more better well played Mendis
for his 5 wicket hawl
our batsmen were totally out off focus.. only gayle scoored 30+ score in the scorecard of tuskers
we need to come back with a B A N G !! inorder to book a
berth in the play offs

What
It's Mumbai vs Lahore.....It's India vs Pakistan.....It's Mauka Mauka!!!!!!
Mumbai are surely the form team at the moment; they have won their last 2 of their four completed matches, while their opponents Lahore have won only 2 of their four matches. MI might begin favourites on the basis of form, but the crowd is sure to have their energies behind LL, for the team which had won their previous away fixture.
When
In August 1st week, 2015
Where
At Wankhade Stadium, Mumbai, India
LIONS reaching India through their sponsor airlines.
The Protagonists
Miandad, Root and Rayadu are in exceptional form and may take home advantage to battle out the Lions.
Andre Russel, C.Anderson and L.Malinga will be expected to easily tackle out the damaged top order and set the stage for the spinners to work a web around the Lahore's middle order.
The Lahore opener Shezad was the only one to score in the previous match against Southampton. There are lot of questions on
Fleming,
Dravid,
Pietersen as they are the ones who must score!
On the bowling front, Mitchell Starc – MI’s leading wicket-taker in the season – is sure pose a lot of questions at the Lahore Lions batsmen.
At the same time the dangerous duo of Hadlee and Morkel still haunt Lahore's oppositions. While spin spearhead Ajmal may also shine for Lahore in a spiner friendly Mumbai.
Contests to look-forward to
Malinga vs Shezad
Starc vs Pietersen
Hadlee vs Miandad

LAHORE LIONS VS DURBAN DOLPHINS
at Lahore
After a brilliant victory in the 1st match between Durban Dolphins and Bayern Munich. Dolphins are travelling to Pakistan.
Durban Dolphins traveled to Lahore by our Airways partner SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS.
Pakistan Government fully supported the Dolphins team and our team.
Ricky Ponting is working very hard to score runs.
Mohammad Shami is the danger man and bowling nicely in nets.
Our bowling attack has become very dangerous!
I would like to see more consistency from our batsmen, making the most of starts.
Ponting was excellent again, and Hussey & Taylor's aggressive batting made our score possible.

We have developed a sort of pattern that our first few matches are very close where we end up on the winning side.
Well that's a pretty disappointing performance. Not good at all. Its good that we won the game but we didn't expected a win like this from a team like KKR.
Welcome to league Sobers! I would say it again, we didn't play as our potential. But it certainly a improvement from previous match. A comprehensive victory.
Somebody on cricinfo touted Doran as the Bradman of U-19 the other day. Let us see what he can do in the cricsim.
A thrilling victory in the end. I have been saying that we are winning but not like KKR used to be. A fantastic last over by Marshall and a match building inning by Sobers.
All hail KKR. Ross & AB saved after the poor performance by middle order and bowlers did a good job making it a cake walk for us.

Southampton Samurai vs Mumbai Indians
Season 3
Match 5
MATCH PREVIEW
Mumbai Indians had a terrible season in the last month with just winning two of their 8 league matches and one being rained off. With the new season underway the team has bought 12 new players with retaining just six of the previous season. They signed Javed Miandad for a record 2.4 Million and some of the signings were quite high with the intention of winning. The batting department has been improved with the signing of Marlon Samuels, Joe Root and Suresh Raina. With some interesting signings of All-Rounders like Corey Anderson, Kieron Pollard, Andre Rusell and Mitch Marsh. Fast Bowlers were give the highest priority as Mitch Starc, Tim Southee, James Anderson were purchased.
Mumbai spent a sum of 16.55 Million in buying of players.
Southampton Samurai too had a bad ending to a well started Season 2. WIth finishing sixth in the league stage after having full chance of qualifying. Signings of Wally Hammond for 1,600,000 and Mahela Jayawardene for a 950,000 may make a bit difference as the Southampton based franchise kept it simple. With big names like Kane Williamson, Brendon McCullum and Steven Smith in the batting order increases the chances of a high-scoring thriller. With MS Dhoni's captaincy the Samurais are at a bit more high level. Some good names in the bowling department as well proves that its going to be a thriller.
Southampton Spent just a 2.5 Million in the player signings.
Where?
The Rose Bowl, Southampton
Last Meeting:
Season 2, League Stage. Southampton won it in one-sided way.
Winning Odds
Southampton - 50
Mumbai - 50
Excellent batting by MI. Miandad smashing a 53 ball century! Things can only get better from here on in.
