IPL 2011 Preview: KKR Vs Deccan Chargers
Kolkata Knightriders will take on Deccan Chargers at Eden Gardens on Monday. Both teams lost their first games against Chennai and Rajasthan respectively. Kolkata lost to Chennai due to poor captaincy by Gautam Gambhir while DD lost against weak Rajasthan due to lack of balance in the team. Match venue: Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Match timing: at 8 PM on April 11. Ratings for Teams & Captains: KKR: Team - 8/10 & Captain - 7/10. DC: Team - 7/10 & Captain - 8/10 Major battles: 1. KKR Batting Vs DC bowling. 2. Dale Steyn Vs Jacques Kallis. Best strategy: Batting second on Eden Gardens is not easy especially for KKR as DC has 2 good spinners - Pragyan Ojha & Amit Mishra & Steyn. Analysis of KKR & DD: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): KKR lost first game to Chennai due to lack of passion and uninspirational captaincy by Gautam Gambhir. Jacques Kallis's wonderful innings failed to help KKR as other batsmen played careless shots. I don't know why they dropped Ryan Does Chate. Most expensive players - Gautam Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan - are the worst performers in that match. Their strength is in the batting but bowling is not adequate - fortunately DC is not a strong batting side. Not available for selection: Brett Lee, Brad Haddin & Shakib Al hasan. Probable squad: Gautam Gambhir (Captain), Jacques Kallis, Maninder Bisla, Manoj Tiwary, Eoin Morgan, Rajat Bhatia, Yusuf Pathan, Iqbal Abdulla, Laxmi Ratan Shukla, L. Balaji & Sarabjit Ladda/Ryan Does Chate. Deccan Chargers (DC): DC has very good bowling line-up … [Read more...]
IPL Match preview: MI Vs DD
Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Delhi Daredevils (DD) at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi. Both teams are led by dashing openers - Sachin Tendulkar & Virender Sehwag. Strongest team in IPL, Mumbai Indians, is playing as favourites to win in IPL 4 tournament. Match time: 4 PM on April 10 Stadium: Feroz Shah Kotla grounds, Delhi. Ratings for Captains & Teams: 1. Sachin Tendulkar: 8/10 & Mumbai Indians: 9/10 2. Virender Sehwag: 7/10 & Delhi Daredevils: 7/10 Interesting battle: Lasith Malings Vs Virender Sehwag & David Warner. Mumbai Indians (MI) analysis: MI has squad that can send tremors across the spine of opposition. Team management is providing best possible facilities and services to the players. Mumbai played so well in IPL 3 but lost their way in the finals. Sachin is in the form of his life while we know what Pollard and Symonds can do. Lasith Malinga is the best fast bowler in T20 format. Delhi will collapse if Malings takes care off Sehwag and Warner. Suman, Rayudu and Rohit Sharma have good record in Indian Premier League T20. Best strategy for Mumbai: Ask DD to bat first and chase its score as Delhi is looking weak in the bowling department. Probable squad: Sachin Tendulkar (Captain), T. Suman, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu (WK), Andrew Symonds, Kieron Pollard, Lasith Malinga, James Franklin, Harbhajan Singh, R. Satish & Munaf Patel Delhi Daredevils (DD) Analysis: DD has sensational openers - Virender Sehwag and David Warners - who can decimate any bowling department on their day. Colin Ingram won the T20 player of the year in … [Read more...]
