Match 6 || The Champions vs The Warriors || Shere Bangla International Stadium

First topic message reminder :



Match 6|| Tournament is heating up. None of the teams want to loose here and fall back. Dominators dominated the Cosmos today in a scintillating competition at the M.A. Chidambaram stadium. Now as for tomorrows match, the Warriors face off the Champions at the Shere Bangla in Bangladesh. The Champions have found it hard to create a winning combination till now.They have shown some glimpses of hope but never managed to capture it. On the other hand we have the Warriors who looked in a total different outlook in their previous match when almost everyone of their players were in top gear.However they didnot have a great first outing when they had to face a defeat in the hands of the Cosmos. Sourav Chakraborty has been consistent for them with 41 in the first match followed by a 60. He surprised everyone in the last match with his brilliant bowling spell picking up 4 wickets giving away almost nothing. So we can look for another Big game tomorrow in Bangladesh.

Players to Watch out for

Adam Gilchrist

Nothing special from him so far. How long can he stay without something special ?

Shane Wanre

The Spin Maestro is slowly coming into form as we could infer from his last two matches. Watch out for him in the spinning track tomorrow.

Yeah sorry buddy for asking that question,just checked the thread

Man of the Match: Rakesh Rao for his economical bowling

Champions loose all their 3 matches till now and have to work pretty hard if they want to go to the play-offs.
On the other hand, The Warriors look stronger now after their first match loss . They have won 2 matches in a row and are set for more it seems.

For now its bye from Bangladesh. C you tomorrow for another cliffhanger.

That was a nice match no doubt.

Those who were not online today missed something for sure.

very exciting match..

Yeaa.

Kallis hat-trick pulled them back into game from nowhere
