Crossover Cricket League: Overall Tournament Stats up at post #223 | Chiefs crowned CCL champions

Far from a comfortable win, got lucky that Pietersen and Valdes carried the innings. Also glad that Hogg and McIlroy grabbed some crucial wickets.
 
@Aggz kindly explain why your sim pitch report & the one from the stadiums are different.

Us "Lions" are playing here again & I would like to pick the XI that will work best on the correct pitch type.


Glad you asked.. this.
NOTE
Attributes mentioned above will play according to one of the following variations:

Road/Flat/Dry/Normal/Spicy


The variation in this case was dry so the pitch assisted spinners. Those are all variations on your basic pitch type though so you can't suddenly have maximal spin.
 
An excellent victory for us. Our deep batting lineup made sure we don't fall behind the target. Openers started well but couldn't add more. Nadal played a sensible and collected quick runs which kept us above the RR.
Our bowlers were brilliant but leaked some runs in the end otherwise we would be chasing a low score. Nehra was too good.
Overall, C.O players scored runs while experts bowled well. A good start.

Chiefs’ bowlers gave away only 19 runs in the last four overs of the innings to turn a straightforward chase from Hurricanes on its head







Chiefs wins by 4 runs
What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Chiefs will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Hurricanes really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Chiefs and that's exactly how it played out.
