CLT20 2011: Trinidad and Tobago v New South Wales – Toss report
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daren-Ganga-c52410, the Trinidad and Tobago skipper, has won the toss and opted to bat first in a Champions League T20 clash against New South Wales, being played at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The Caribbean side has fielded a unchanged squad from their narrow one-wicket defeat to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians earlier on Monday.
New South Wales Blues on the other hand, have brought in experienced fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cape-Cobras-c776, has made way for Clark.
The New South Wales skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543, said that he would also have opted to bat first, had he won the toss.
The M. A. Chidambaram wicket has been anticipated as a slow and spin friendly deck which would further slow down as the game proceeds. So run scoring with the old ball could be a trouble.
Average score at this ground is 165 and the chasing sides have often faltered, hence winning the toss and batting first could be regarded as the best decision by any skipper on this Chennai wicket.
After winning the toss, Ganga said that keeping in view the slow track he had opted to bat first adding that they are looking forward to put a competitive total on the board.
Both the sides are coming into the game at the back of defeats to their respective oppositions in their tournament openers and a win today would strengthen their chances of making the semi-finals.
