Cape Cobras v Trinidad and Tobago – Owais Shah and Dane Vilas steer Cobras to 137 for 4 - First Innings Recap
Whirlwind half centuries from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/OA-Shah-c2134 took Cape Cobras to 137 for 4 in their last league match of the ongoing Champions League T20 against Trinidad and Tobago, being played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai,
today, October 4, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cape-Cobras-c776 skipper, won the toss and opted to bat on the slow and sluggish MA Chidambaram wicket, which has proved tricky for the batsmen throughout the tournament. Not even the home side, Chennai Super Kings,
could spark here in the ongoing Champions League T20 tournament.
It seemed that the decision to bat first would hit back at Kemp after Cape Cobras' openers came back to the pavilion for a combined contribution of 2 runs. However, Owais Shah, and wicketkeeper batsman Dane Vilas, buckled down
to add 87 runs for the third-wicket to put Cobras on the way to a respectable total.
Vilas scored 54 runs off 44 balls, including seven muscular boundaries, before he was caught by Darren Ganga off Sunil Naraine. Shah however, continued his belligerent batting and returned unbeaten at 63 from 50 balls plundering
six fours and a six.
The Caribbean side has fielded an unchanged squad from their last game’s surprise win over Chennai Super Kings, while the South Africans have made one change to their squad from the last game, bringing in all-rounder Rory Kleinveldt
for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753.
All five teams in Group A still have a chance to progress http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472o the final fours. A win over T & T today will take Cobras through, while the Caribbean side needs to win and hope other results go their way if they are to make the
knockouts.
