Airtel Champions League T20: Chevrolet Warriors vs. South Australia Redbacks - Half time report
The Airtel Champions League T20’s second semi-final is currently underway at Centurion between two titans of the game – the South Australia Redbacks and the Chevrolet Warriors.
After winning the toss at the dry Centurion track, the Warriors had no hesitation in choosing to bat first against the Redbacks. It had been predicted by pundits that the pitch would turn a lot in the latter half
of the match and the Warriors had two prolific spinners in Nicky Boje and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cullen-Bailey-c1297 and Aaron O’Brien who have
performed well over the tournament.
The Warriors are once again featuring the same playing eleven that has featured in their four earlier games, while the return of Shaun Tait to the Redbacks is a massive boost for the Australian side.
Today’s game is also a clash of leaders, as both Davy Jacobs, with his aggressive performances, and Michael Klinger, with his solid showings at the top of the order, have led their sides from the start of the
tournament and have inspired their teams to brilliant performances.
Davy Jacobs and Colin Ingram embarked on a vicious assault at the start, and their work was well complemented by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nicky-Boje-c2105 in the final over of the game as the Warriors were able to amass a competitive total of 175 for 6 from
their allotted 20 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davy-Jacobs-c1343 top scored with 41-ball 61 – an innings that featured ten boundaries and a six. Colin Ingram complemented Jacobs’ assault with a bludgeoning 46 runs. The two quick wickets of Thyssen and Botha lowered the Warriors’
scoring rate, but they found compensation in the form of a whirlwind 7-ball 22 struck by Boje as the side finished its innings with 175 for 6 on the board.
Both sides today have impeccable fielders, and whoever makes it into the final will surely have a considerable advantage over the Chennai Super Kings in that regard.
