Match 12 || The Warriors vs The Cosmos || M.A. CHIDAMBARAM STADIUM

First topic message reminder :



Match preview:

The tournament has just got 9 more matches left in the group Stage. After Champions' two successive wins, the tournament has now become wide open. Both these teams are in the same condition with the Cosmos just edging the Warriors in terms of NRR. This match will mark the beginning of the boiling point of the tournament as each and every run scored and wicket taken now will effect the teams chances to progress into the play-offs.

Team Status

The Cosmos : The Cosmos have not yet been able to fix a playing XI for them. Sometimes they have opened with V.Sehwag whereas sometimes with Eishan. So it will be interesting to see their combination tomorrow. Both Eishan and Sehwag are their most destructive batsman. So a Viru-Eishan opening combo is not that bad for the spectators appetite.
TEAM FORM: W L W L

The Warriors : Chris Gayle !! He scores they win . He doesnot they loose. It's been that way for the Warriors. They have been way too dependent on their opening pair of Gayle and Sourav. But some of their others players have also performed in bits and pieces and earned them a couple of wins. They have been worried about S.Akhtar's form and his omission in the last match hit them hard as they hardly had any bowlers in the playing XI who could have sustained the WD.
TEAM FORM: L W W L

Players to watch out for :



Dale Steyn : Has been impressive in last couple of matches. Can he steam into C. Gayle tomorrow too ?



Chris Gayle : The Calypso king has been destructive but has not been able to score big. Can he score big tomorrow ?
