PC Champions League | 14 years and 20 seasons of statistics FINALLY up to date..

First of all brilliant presentation :clap

What an innings. We started out slowly and surely with KP and Bell but their departures put ourselves in a dangerous position. Yuvi and Kallis held the end to ensure we didnt collapse and Morgan also contributed. Unfortunately Kallis couldnt get his century, but his dismissal brought Shah who went berserk. Demoted due to his rather ordinary form, he came through with a big match performance and with O'Brien got us to a safe total.

Still not a match winning total considering our bowling isnt the strongest. Confident but I think we need early wickets cause their top 5 is quite dangerous.
 
i feel Centurion got this with the addition of Bravo down the order he can hit a ball or two. But when you look at Sharks bowling you feel it is going to be a tough day for Sharks i feel.
 
Come on SHARKS
 
Great presentation User. :thumbs

Owais Shah made sudden raise in the scores, bowlers were good till the 44th over.

Considering it's an excellent pitch, Centurion Lions can still win this with the likes of the top order. Middle order isn't that bad too. They will chase this down.
 
Great presentation Gaurav .

Sharks all the way .

Ah , Kallis batting like a Knight . Shah blasted the the last few overs .

Sharks
 
AB de Villiers must have put them to bat only because he must have been very confident of the big run-chase. I think Centurion will just get to the total..

Also, Sharks bowling attack isn't that strong.
 
looks like a tough ask tbh but their top 3 have the ability to make big runs at pace so its still possible.
 
First things first - great presentation.

Also, supporting Soutampton, since they're English...Well played by them too, especially Kallis. Ace & NOB too did well at the death.
 
I reckon its game over for Centurion. Sharks all the way :thumbs. And awesome presentation there User :thumbs.

Match 40
Champions League XI final
Southampton Sharks (EPL) v Centurion Lions (SAPL)
at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch: Excellent

The big final of the PlanetCricket Champions League season XI is here and two evenly matched teams have come through to make it an even more exciting contest. Both Centurion Lions and Southampton Sharks were equal on points and shared the top position after the league stages with only NRR separating them. Prior to this, both teams have met twice in the tournament and the English team has had the better off the Protean team on both the occasions which one can see here and here. This is the 2nd consecutive time an English team has reached the finals of the Champions League so, Southampton would want to go one step better this time as Nottingham lost the final to Manicaland in season X. On the other hand, this is the first time ever in Champions League history that we have a team from South African premier league so, Centurion would want to make their first finale a memorable one.​

Before the match day, we had the Centurion Lions coach speaking to the media.

Shaun Pollock addressing the media

We are delighted to be here. We had to work hard to get here and they (Southampton) have defeated us both the times before but, we aren't looking much into that. This is a new game and we now know what we should do after winning the toss against them (laughs). He (Yuvraj Singh) is always an asset in such conditions and we will surely miss his services but, these are things we can't control. He is playing for the opposition so now we see him as an opponent. Virat is an exceptional talent and we all know what he has already done so far in this league. I hope he carries on.

---

The all important toss. Once again it was AB de Villiers, Centurion Lions captain who called correctly but, this time he elected to bowl first. Many believed this was a bat first track but, given Centurion had lost 2 in 2 batting first against Southampton, one could see why that decision was made. The scoreboard pressure? Well, no one cared about that it seemed...​

Toss: Centurion Lions won, chose to field

Southampton Sharks put up a mammoth total on the board and Centurion Lions batsmen have their work cut out if they are to lift the trophy or reach close to that target. They do have a strong batting lineup so, it will be interesting to see how they go about things. Let's go to the second innings to find out what happens.​

Gutted to see Southampton lose, but Kohli just played a stunner and recieved support from others. Dwayne Bravo's mighty cameo proved to be the decider

Great presentation User, too good!
 
What a run chase.. Kohli played like a true 'legend' there hitting four off the final ball. Congrats to Centurion and their manager BlitzBerg :cheers.
