Daren Ganga-led Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) has won the toss and will be batting first
in another Pool A qualification match of the ongoing Champions League (CL) Twenty20 (T20) tournament. The limited overs fixture kicks off today, Tuesday, September 20, 2011, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad.
With their horns already locked for the bout, both the teams will be aiming to mark a triumph at the qualifier in order to secure a spot on the tournament’s group matches, that are scheduled to begin on September 23, in Bangalore.
For the Caribbean limited overs squad, T&T, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472ch against Sri Lanka’s Ruhuna eleven.
However, with an opening win already secured, T&T will be stepping out today with a slight upper hand on the opponents since the team has a better understanding of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 pitch, which was very well versed by the Caribbean team’s spinners, who aided
the side into marking a smooth 5-wicket win.
As for the current match, skipper Ganga will once again have to bank on the spinners’ trio, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, to put up another impressive spell of deliveries that will be complemented by the much hyped pacers, Ravi
Rampaul and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kevon-Cooper-c71194.
On the other hand, the team also comes equipped with an able batting arsenal, made up of the skipper himself, alongside http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807, while relying on the bowlers
to restrict the team from covering up the mark.
However, T&T should not underestimate Leicestershire which, too, comes with a potent roster of players, that have been doing exceptionally well on the English County seasons.
Being put to bowl first, Leicestershire’s attacking bowlers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lynette-Ann-Fullston-c73358 Claude Henderson will aim to secure some early stumps at the T&T top order, that may cripple the Caribbean side into piling up a minor chase that
would allow the team’s batters, including Will Jefferson, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 and the Friends Life Twenty20 tournament’s highest scorer McDonald, to wrap up a smooth win.
