http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 v England – Only Twenty20 – Toss Report
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 is all set to defend its Twenty20 (T20) World Championship title, as the tourists lock horns with the Indian hosts for the one-off T20 bout, set to kick off at the Eden Gardens, in Kolkata, today, October 29, 2011.
Having the home turf advantage at their end, Indian triumphant Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, has won the toss and will be batting first at the final assignment of their on-going competition against the Poms.
England has already been defeated at the just-concluded 5-match One Day International (ODI) series, where they crawled on to suffering a complete whitewash at the hands of the Men in Blue. Hence, for the team’s T20 Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, the bout will serve
as a vital opportunity to make a worthy reprisal against the hosts – as a defeat would result England to slip down to 3rd place on the T20 rankings, from their currently held top spot.
On the other hand, Skipper Dhoni will have his hopes set on the side’s youth filled line-up, which will step in with some major changes since their last outing against England.
For the matter, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 and the Captain Dhoni piling up the remaining top and middle
order.
However, the playing XI will also be featuring http://www.senore.com/Cricket/YK-Pathan-c2815, as another addition to the roster, and will surely stand out as a potential threat for the Poms, due to his imposing command over the bat as well as under the bowling department.
As for the English squad; the team will feature its standard bowling line-up, kicking off with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566.
The pair will also be complemented by Swann and Samit Patel’s spin bowling, alongside Jade Dernbach as another pacer on the roster.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RS-Bopara-c2373 as the remaining top order batsmen.
