India v West Indies: Match Preview – ICC Champions Trophy 2013
Sixth match of the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Champions Trophy is scheduled to be played between India and West Indies at The Oval and with both sides having won their first games, this clash is going to be a nail biter.
Both teams will be aiming to secure a place in the next round with wins here. Moving ahead in the tournament with a winning momentum will be what both sides would be looking for.
The teams have a very formidable batting line-up and a bowling attack that can rip through the defences of any line-up on a given day. No one can be dubbed as the favourite side for this match because both teams
have the capacity to pull off a stunner. West Indies are at their prime form in this tournament and the way they manhandled Pakistan in their first game, they would certainly be considered as a serious threat by the Indians.
India, however, have a very solid batting line-up as compared to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, and the West Indian bowlers will have to work a lot harder to neutralize their opponents. On the other hand, India lacks the bowling
sting which West Indies faced against Pakistan. This is the area which should be exploited by the Windies in order to fold http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Captain’s comments:
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379: “It's another tough game against a team whose strength lies is their batting. But we have the right bowlers to control their
batting. Cricket is played on the day. India could turn up on Tuesday and be knocked over, or score a big total again as they normally do. I have the right attack if I want to go with someone with raw pace.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028: “As players, we can only control the things we are able to. We don't get to read newspapers
and there are no channels. So we are not disturbed here.”
