Players to watch out for :

The COSMOS


He has been Working hard in the nets

LASITH MALINGA : Pace and accuracy will be very valuable in tomorrows match because of the pitch conditions here in Bangalore. So look out for Malinga. He might trouble a lot of batsmen tomorrow with his yorkers and slow bouncers.


World Dominators


Mccullum was destructive in his previous match

BRENDAN MCCULLUM : The most unorthodox opener in current days. He was quite aggressive in his last match vs The Champions and got of to a blazing start which helped them to win that match. SO he can be very useful tomorrow if The World Dominators need to win the toss tomorrow and bat first. That will give a great chance to Mcca to impress.

Cosmos Beat Up Dominators.Waiting For The mATCH

Pitch Conditions looks great.Looks like a high scoring game and easy for run chase batting second.

Good for Bowlers Too.

best of luck to both the teams....hoping for another nail bitinmg finish:)

hope the best team wins today

Dominators Analysis:
A good strong line up. Unchanged though but this time the track is different. 1 spinner thats a good decision on this track, coz many spinners wont help here. Dilshan will though bowl but he can go for runs so everyone expecting Dilshan to score again. Mccullum and Dilshan if early slog can help , then KP and Amla can carry the innings forward. They batted tactically and really well last match but this is another challenge. This track supports batting and lets see what big names do, Dhoni the birthday boy will go to slog and lets see how he slogs. Can he celebrate his birthday with happy face. Bowling again strong and young, Roach and Razzak will follow Lee as this bowling track supports pacers too and Lee is expected to take something out of this. Roach eyes on him if he can be economical again.

Cosmos Analysis:
Good strong batting and bowling line-up.SUprising to see Sehwag at No.3 , should ahve been the opener yeah but he is a great man, can play anywhere. Watson eyes on him, on how he uses this track, Surely he will. Afridi again makes the line-up look pretty strong becoz he guarantees some big shots, lets see if he can play them and strong finishing with Morgan their too. Vettori, good thinking bringing him back again lets see how he works out and Malinga , can he stun the Dominators batsmen by his swinging yorkers , we have too see but in total a really strong line-up. All the batsmen are big hitters so u can expect sixes and thats the best thing of a match. if Cosmos get moving.
