LIVE- Somerset v Kolkata Knight Riders – Champions League Twenty20 - Match Update
In the ongoing Champions League Twenty20, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 after winning the toss chose to bat first as they ended their innings by posting a competitive tally of 166 runs on the board against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium,
Uppal, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792 on Wednesday, September 21, 2011.
From the English County, it was the opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419 had no clue to finding an end to the
Somerset opener’s onslaught.
By the time Trego lost his wicket to a run-out, his side had managed to post 166 runs for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs.
Meanwhile, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graham-Robert-Cowdrey-c60631 der Merwe also played their part in helping the side bat against an extremely belligerent bowling outfit as both contributed 14 and 40 runs before finding their way back to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jaidev-Unadkat-c1626 in the 13th over.
Later, Nick Compton also gave a commendable performance with the bat as he scored a hefty knock of 20 runs off 10 deliveries before getting run-out in the penultimate over of the innings.
Meanwhile, from the fielding side, their bowlers looked out of touch as the KKR even with a might bowling brigade failed to halt the Somerset middle-order as the batsmen dictated the play’s proceedings.
Kolkata used seven bowlers in the T20 match and out of these only two bowlers were successful in taking wickets as Lee and Unadkat took two wickets each.
Skipper Kallis bowled two overs and conceded 10 runs, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/YK-Pathan-c2815 went for 31 runs in his three overs.
Somerset will now have to bowl really well to restrict the Riders from chasing the tally as a win will take them through to the next level, meanwhile KKR can also not afford to lose the match by a large margin if they want to qualify for the remained of
the tournament.
