Pepsi T20 Boom - Match No. 1: Shadows vs The Blue Knight Hawks - April 1, 2013 (Thread 2)

T20
Boom will start from two teams who have just played against each other
in a long tour. On one side we have Knight Hawks who have defeated
Shadows in their home in OD format and on the other side we have Shadows
who were too impressive but unfortunately lost the OD series against
Hawks. Both teams are all set to face each other in a T20 Match after OD
and Test Matches.

---

---

Both
teams have 12 international players in their squad. On one side we have
Shadows who have strong side for T20 Boom with likes of David Warner
and Michael Clarke while Knight Hawks have some dangerous players like
Virender Sehwag and Jacques Kallis who can turn the match around. Both
teams are looking strong if we talk about their batting but Shadows have
a slightly upper hand if we talk about their bowling. With likes of
Captain Deepak, Anurag and Hasan, they look better against Hawks and
they can create some pressure against Hawks but even Hawks have a solid
bowling lineup which has players like Umar Gul, Jacques Kallis and Abdur
Razzak.
So both squads are looking balanced and its too hard to predict which player will play a winning role for his squad.

Perfect Lineup will be the key to success for both the teams.

---

Blue
Knight Hawks have included 3 F Players named Fardin Kibria, Yasin Iqbal
and Sri Ganesh in their squad while Shadows have included 2 F Players
who are Anurag Choudhary and Deepak Nayak. From Knight Hawks, Fardin
Kibria is the player to watch out. He is yet to show his great
performance in T20 Format but he has done a good job in OD format. He is
a strong player who can play a useful and a quick knock for his team
while Anurag will be the main F Player from Shadows to watch out for. He
is the leading wicket taker from F Players in T20 format and he would
love to take some more wickets in this match. He is famous for taking
some quick wickets and bowling well at death.

It will be an interesting battle between Fardin and Anurag to decide the Performer of the Day.

Barabati
Stadium will host their first CWSim match after they were bought in
February. They never got the chance to host any match but finally time
is here. All fans are ready to witness one of the most interesting match
of all time. Also this will be the first match at a Dusty Pitch so you
can't guess what will happen on April 1st, 2013. It will be tough for
bowlers as pitch might help batsmen more. They would love to hit some
biggies to entertain the fans.
We can expect a high scoring game on 1st of April when both of the teams will collide.

---

X-Factor for this match is: Toss

So
here we are. The first game of the tournament. A huge one for all 8
teams. The first match is to be played on a dusty track and we can hope
for a high scoring thriller tonight if both teams play to their full
potential. Since this is the first match, I feel that batting first
would be the best thing to do.
You often get under pressure while you bat second and being the first game of the tournament, the pressure will be even more.
So win the toss and bat first, put the runs on the scorecard and let your opponent succumb under pressure.
