Roaring Warriors

After achieving a comfortable victory with slight hiccup at the end over Gladiators in the 1st OD, Roaring Warriors will look to roar once again today for the 2nd OD.
Their bowlers made a solid comeback at the end to restrict Gladiators below 240 which was looking a possible 280-290 at one stage. Their opening batsman once gave solid start to them which was the most essential factor to win the match after the middle order collapse. The form of Sachin Tendulkar is being under scrutiny for long now, we may finally see Sourav Ganguly making debut for Warriors.

Gladiators

Gladiators may look to avoid changes, given the fact that they demolished Hurricanes with this team only. They may go with same combination.
All eyes will be on Neeraj Dagar once again for his economical bowling. He had been simply awesome against Hurricanes, even in the 1st OD he alone bought Gladiators in the match.
