13.6 Varun Chakravarthy to Thisara Perera, 0, 75kph, This one is bowled slightly flatter, slightly quicker. Aggressive square drive from T Perera and he struck that too firmly to take the single

Not the best of outings from V Chakravarthy. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.

Eden Knights
Manager: Mohsin


Strengths:
  • Like Jamshedpur this is a team with a strong all-rounder contingent. Christian, Moeen, Sam Curran, Neesham, Santner, and Jamieson with a few more for depth, is a very good unit.
  • A hard hitting top order led by Davey Warner.
Weaknesses:
  • Spin bowling isn't a strength, but more concerning is that all of their internationals go at once. Warner, Conway, Santner and Boult are part of the team's core.
Best Player: Trent Boult. Boult and Davey Warner are the two clear best players in this team but they're polar opposites of each other, making who is best hard to judge. I'll go Boult as he can operate both at the start and end of the innings at a really high quality.
Best Bargain: Rahmanullah. As good as Rashid Khan? Not yet but given what we've seen of the hard-hitting keeper-batsman, he's almost challenging Hazratullah for their best limited overs batsman already.

Predicted XI: Warner, Seifert, Conway, Chapman, Young, Christian, Neesham, Santner, S Curran, Sandeep/Nortje (Depends on pitch), Boult
 
Champions
Managers: Parth and Yash


Strengths:
  • I heard they were shopping for middle order players, but on the strength of their senior players through the middle, I'm not sure that's necessary.
  • Pace bowling. A scary four out-and-out bowlers (Ferguson, Richardson, Cottrell, Thomas), combined with Russell and Holder's all round skill, will scare batsmen, particularily Sri Lankan ones.
Weakness:
  • I'm not fully sure about what's happening up top. Sure Evin Lewis is of the required quality but I'm not sure about the inconsistent Charles and the out of form Fletcher, as well as Brandon King, who's not someone I can say I have experience with.
Best Player: Andre Russell. When he isn't trying to start a hip hop career, Dre Russ is busy smoking balls into the top deck and taking wickets with his fast-mediums in T20 competitions around the world.
Best Bargain: Rakheem Cornwall. What can I say except he can hit it a long way. His spin is decent too, although he won't force past Mujeeb and Shakib on that alone.

Predicted XI: Lewis, Fletcher, De Villiers, Hetmyer, Dube, Shakib, Russell, Holder, Mujeeb, J Richardson, Cottrell
 
Ashutosh Warriors
Manager:
take a wild guess

Strengths:
  • Attacking top order. A few teams went in quite heavily on top order players (I have nine of them for goodness sake) but this is one of the finest.
  • Pace bowling. Take nothing away from the good spin unit here but the pace is on another level, led by Jofra Archer and with basically the entire Indian ODI team in reserves.
Weakness:
  • It's actually hard for this team, although I don't see a proper backup/replacement for Joff and Kohli when they go. That said, can you really replace those two easily?
Best Player: Virat Kohli. Everything I said about Steve Smith applies here.
Best Bargain: Josh Philippe. Another guy I wanted (if you want Alex Carey for him please DM me) but IMHO Josh Philippe has the most natural talent of any player like him since Adam Gilchrist. Can hit a monster ball and has a surprisingly good temperament for 22, if he hadn't had a slight hiccup in the finals he'd have taken home the BBL Golden Bat as well as the Player of the Series gong.

Best XI: Roy, Gill, Philippe, Kohli, Kishan, Stoinis, Sundar, Jofra, Saini, Zampa, Natarajan sorry Thakur


And with that, the analysis marathon is done! Now, down to the cricket field, which will probably make me look like a total fool.

So we have de Villiers in our line up? Sweet thing.

Regarding openers, we felt short of keepers and pooran was way over the budget.

We are confident of the squad we build and me and @Yash. look forward to have a good league ahead.
