CLT20 2012 Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Auckland Aces

Posted: 14 Oct 2012 02:30 PM PDT


Their morale low after a 52-run drubbing at the hands of Delhi daredevils, Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Kolkata Knight Riders will look to bounce back when they take on rampaging qualifiers Auckland Aces in a Group A match of the Champions League Twenty20 at Cape Town on Monday.

Kolkata had a disappointing start to their campaign after they were mauled by Delhi comfortably on Saturday night.

Their bowlers did a decent job to restrict Delhi to 160 for eight but it was the failure of the batsmen which would rattle them, especially the top order which contributed three ducks to the total.

Opener Manvinder Bisla, Brendon McCullum and skipper Gautam Gambhir all came a cropper against Delhi and they would have to do a lot of soul-searching before they take the field tomorrow.

The fact that Kolkata could score only 108 for 7 in 20 overs, despite batting deep, will surely bother Gambhir and the onus would be on him to lead from the front, like he did during IPL V early this year.

Auckland, on the other hand, had a dream start in the tournament. The New Zealanders notched up two convincing victories during their qualifying matches.

They opened their campaign with a six-wicket win over Sialkot Stallions, before taming Hampshire by eight wickets.

Kyle Mills and Andre Adams have so far led the pace attack well, while left-arm spinner Ronnie Hira has troubled the batsmen and picked up four wickets so far in the tournament.

In the batting department, opener Martin Guptill has led from the front by scoring valuable runs. His partner Lou Vincent has also got starts and he would look to convert them.

However, it is former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood who has been their most valuable player so far. He picked up a five-for against Hampshire in their last match and also scored a match-wining unbeaten 55 and he would surely look to continue in the same vein on Monday. (PTI)

Teams:

Auckland Aces (Probable): Martin Guptill, Lou Vincent, Azhar Mahmood, Anaru Kitchen, Gareth Hopkins(c&wk), Colin Munro, Colin de Grandhomme, Ronnie Hira, Kyle Mills, Andre Adams, Michael Bates.

Kolkata Knight Riders (Probable): Manvinder Bisla (wk), Gautam Gambhir (c), Brendon McCullum, Jacques Kallis, Yusuf Pathan, Manoj Tiwary, Rajat Bhatia, Brett Lee, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Sunil Narine, Pradeep Sangwan.

CLT20 2012: McKenzie, de Kock help Highveld Lions beat Mumbai Indians by 8 wickets

Posted: 14 Oct 2012 01:38 PM PDT


Defending champions Mumbai Indians started their campaign on a disappointing note, losing to Lions by eight wickets, in their opening match of the Champions League Twenty20.

The catalysts for Lions’ victory were Neil McKenzie (68 not out off 41 balls) and 19-year-old Quinton de Kock (51 not out off 33) as the duo helped the side chase the target of 158 with seven balls to spare at the New Wanderers Stadium.

Mumbai posted 157 for six after being invited to bat and then failed to find an answer for McKenzie and de Kock’s joint assault that left them bruised and battered.

For the record, Mumbai had lost to Lions in the second edition of the event two years ago.

It could have been anybody’s game till Dhawal Kulkarni and Mumbai skipper Harbhajan Singh were taken to the cleaners in the 16th and 17th over.

While Kulkarni conceded 17 runs, Harbhajan was smashed for 16 as Lions inched towords the target.

Kulkarni’s three overs went for 37 while Harbhajan gave away 36 in his four. Pragyan Ojha was knocked for 19 in his two.

Lions lost their first wicket when Ambati Rayudu pulled off a blinder at cover, holding on to Alviro Petersen’s full-blooded shot off Lasith Malinga.

Bringing himself on in the seventh over, Harbhajan was on the money straightaway as he got Ghulam Bodi to edge one to first slip where Rohit Sharma completed a good catch.

At 37 for two in the seventh over, the prospect looked gloomy for Lions. However, an unbeaten 121-run partnership for the third wicket between de Kock and McKenzie sealed the match in Lions’ favour.

While de Kock was the more dominant of the two initially, the experienced Mckenzie, who got off the mark with a reverse- paddle four off Harbhajan, too played his part before launching into a flurry of boundaries.

The 50-partnership between the two was up in six overs and they continued to torment the Mumbai bowlers till the task was achieved.

Earlier, Mumbai relied on useful contributions from their batsmen to reach a total, which did not prove to be enough.

Mitchell Johnson scored 30 while Rohit Sharma and Dwayne Smith fell in the 20s after getting starts. Dinesh Karthik scored a breezy nine-ball 19 towards the end.

Helping the visiting side to a great extent was the 24 extras conceded by Lions.

Mumbai were off to a brisk start as Smith smashed half a dozen fours to put the South Africans under pressure first up.

Chris Morris erred in line and the easy pickings were treated with disdain by Smith. The bowler, however, had the last laugh when he had the West Indian trapped in front of wicket.

After missing out on the strike initially, Tendulkar steered Sohail Tanvir in front of backward point for his first boundary.

Tendulkar found the fence one more time before left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso disturbed his stumps after the batsman tried to make room and launch into a heave.

This was the fourth time in recent months that Tendulkar has been bowled. He got out in similar fashions thrice in the Test series against New Zealand in August-September. The bowlers, though, were pacers on those occasions.

Till the time he was there in the middle, Sharma gave Mumbai solidity, playing some opportunistic shots before Dirk Nannes cleaned him up.

Sharma was severe on Zander de Bruyn who was smashed for a six and two fours, the maximum sailing over point region.

The promotion of Johnson, who is returning from a toe injury, ahead of specialists Ambati Rayudu and Karthik, and the powerful Kieron Pollard, seemed to have boomeranged on Mumbai as they lost momentum halfway into the innings.

Though he top-scored for the visitors, Johnson gobbled up a lot of balls, and it was largely due to Karthik’s enterprise towards the end that Mumbai reached a respectable total. (PTI)

Mumbai Indians vs Lions Post Match Presentation CLT20 2012

Posted: 14 Oct 2012 01:00 PM PDT


McKenzie: ‘Just enjoying my cricket. It’s great playing for the Lions – the atmosphere was terrific. Quinton de Kock is an exceptional talent – he is one for the future. He did well in the U-19s. Mumbai is a great side, it’s nice to win against them.’

McKenzie is the Man of the Match

Peterson: ‘Pretty happy. They dominated the first 6 overs of the day but our left arm spinner got us back into the game. We had new challenges today – we defeated Mumbai the last time but it’s a new day. Quinton de Kock is a good player – he hits the ball nice and sweet. McKenzie played like a young man too – he showed his experience today. We know what we have got and we know what sort of cricket we can play. When we play as a team, we can be dangerous. That’s what we did today.’

Harbhajan Singh: ‘The difference was that we didn’t look to attack the spinners. It was a good cricketing wicket. McKenzie played superbly and the other youngster ( Quinton de Kock ) was superb too. Mitchell was the only left hander and we wanted him to go after the left arm spinner, but it didn’t happen. Lions know the conditions better than us, we were 20 runs short but the credit should go to Lions. There was a bit of dew but no excuses – we didn’t bowl well. We got a good start but McKenzie played the innings of his life’

CLT20 2012: Moises Henriques help Sydney Sixers beat Chennai Super Kings

Posted: 14 Oct 2012 10:34 AM PDT


Sydney Sixers relied on a superb all-round show from Moises Henriques and a couple of stunning catches as they thumped Chennai Super Kings by 14 runs in their opening Champions League Twenty20 match.

Henriques smashed five fours and three sixes towards the close of Sydney Sixers’ innings for his 23-ball unbeaten 49 to take his side to 185 for five after being sent into bat in the Group B match. He later took three wickets for 23 in his three overs to play the leading role in his side’s victory.

Chasing the big target, Chennai were on course till the 16th over as they needed 50 runs from the last four overs before the Sydney side affected two stunning catches to end their innings at 171 for nine at the New Wanderers Stadium.

Suresh Raina, who top-scored with an impressive 33-ball 57 which included eight fours and two sixes, fell in the 17th over to a stunning catch by Steven Smith who held onto a high ball just inches before the boundary ropes.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was out two balls later as his pull shot was held by Josh Hazlewood who dived forward to take a superb catch.

Chennai had two substantial partnership in their run chase — 61 for the second wicket between Faf du Plessis (43) and Michael Hussey (16) and then the 55-run stand for the fourth wicket between Raina and Subramaniam Badrinath (6).

They began slowly in their run chase and they were dealt with a blow as Murali Vijay was out for just one in the second over as his stump flew cartwheeling while trying to hit a swinging full delivery without moving his feet.

At three for one, Chennai had to settle down for a while but they did not take much time to launch their attack with du Plessis and Hussey finding the boundaries to keep the asking rate under control.

Du Plessis punished Mitchel Starc with a six in the fourth over while Hussey also found a boundary as Chennai took 12 runs from that over.

Du Plessis then smashed three fours off Pat Cummins in the next over which yielded 13 runs before launching Hazlewood for a six and a then a four in the seventh over.

It was an even contest till then, but Chennai lost two quick wickets in successive overs with du Plessis and Hussey departing in quick succession in the eighth and ninth overs respectively.

Du Plessis walked down the wicket to hit a Cummins delivery out of the park only to miscue and land at Mitchell Starc’s hands at long-on, thereby ending the second wicket stand of 61 runs from 6.3 overs. Du Plessis hit five fours and two sixes from 25 balls in his 43.

Hussey was out in the last ball of the ninth over as his slog-sweep off Steve O’Keefe landed straight at Michael Lumb’s hands.

Chennai were 73 for three at the halfway mark with the asking rate climbing to 11 and a half per over and new man in Raina had to press the accelerator straightaway.

Raina hit a six and four from an over off O’Keefe and Henriques while also smashing two boundaries off Shane Watson.

Raina was so dominant that his partner Badrinath could just contribute six runs in the four-wicket stand of 55 from 5.2 overs before the latter was out.

Chennai needed 61 runs from the last five overs and 50 from the last four but the dismissals of Raina and Dhoni, who scored just eight from as many balls ended their hopes.

Ravindra Jadeja (2) could not do much as he was out in the penultimate over while Ravichandran Ashwin (18) and Yo Mahesh were out in the final over.

Besides Henriques (3/23), Mitchell Starc grabbed three wickets for 31 runs while Watson, Pat Cummins and Steve O’Keefe took a wicket each. (PTI)

Toss: Lions have won the toss and elected to field

Petersen: ‘We are going to have a bowl. It is a good wicket, with a bit of a dew later on, we hope to chase it down. It looks like a good wicket, but with the altitude, the ball flies. 160+ looks a good score, but we hope to keep them down to a lesser score.’

Harbhajan: ‘Looking at the previous game, we would’ve fielded first, but having said that we are playing 5 bowlers and we hope to restrict them. Mitchell Johnson is making his debut today. The other foreigners are Lasith Malinga, Pollard and Dwayne Smith.’

Teams:
Lions (Playing XI): Alviro Petersen(c), Gulam Bodi, Quinton de Kock, Neil McKenzie, Jean Symes, Thami Tsolekile(w), Zander de Bruyn, Sohail Tanvir, Aaron Phangiso, Chris Morris, Dirk Nannes

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Sachin Tendulkar, Dwayne Smith, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik(w), Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh(c), Mitchell Johnson, Lasith Malinga, Dhawal Kulkarni, Pragyan Ojha

Henriques: ‘It was a nice day today and very happy to get the win early doors. It was very important to change your pace, with two batsmen who were going so well, can’t get too predictable. Today’s game shows how close the tournament will be.’

Henriques is the MoM for his quick innings and the wickets of Raina, Dhoni and Badri.

Haddin: ‘It was a good result in the end, it is always nice to get off to a win in the tournament early on. It was a normal Wanderers wicket with plenty of pace. We knew it is a very hard ground to defend on and our plans worked to the T today. It is important to get better and better in the tournament and that’s what we are planning to do.’

Dhoni: ‘At the end of the first innings, we felt that we gave away 15 runs too many, but it happens in this format. We batted really well, Hussey and Faf batted brilliantly at the top. Raina was aggressive and calculated throughout his innings. Maybe if we hadn’t lost those wickets, we could’ve won.’

Preview: Mumbai India vs Lions, Champions League 2012

Posted: 13 Oct 2012 03:30 PM PDT


All eyes will be on Sachin Tendulkar and skipper Harbhajan Singh as defending champions Mumbai Indians take on local team Lions in their opening Champions League Twenty20.

Tendulkar, whose last competitive game was a Test match between India and New Zealand in Bangalore earlier last month, will be keen on doing well as his performance will certainly have a bearing on Mumbai Indians’ fortune in the tournament.

For the 39-year-old champion batsman, it will also be a chance to prove his detractors wrong after he was bowled thrice during the Test series against New Zealand while Harbhajan will like to use this opportunity to get requisite confidence and make a case for himself before the Test team selection.

Although Tendulkar’s next international assignment is against England starting next month, a good performance against a local side on bouncy South African strip will give him a lot of confidence than what a Ranji Trophy game on a shirtfront can provide.

Along with a destructive opener in Richard Levi, the duo has the ability to destroy the Lions’ attack that will be led by two left-arm bowlers of different nature. While Pakistan’s Sohail Tanveer can trouble the batsman with clever variations, speed merchant Dirk Nannes can be a handful on lively tracks.

Harbhajan, who won man-of-the-match award against England in the recently concluded World T20 would like to show that the performance wasn’t a mere flash in the pan.

The tournament will also be a test for Rohit Sharma who has consistently failed to deliver for India despite having the backing of his national team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

West Indian Dwayne Smith who didn’t feature in West Indies’ playing XI during the latter half of World T20 can also be considered for his all-round abilities.

Ambati Rayudu and Dinesh Karthik are two players who are expected to lend solidity to the middle-order while Kieron Pollard with his big-hitting prowess, steady seam-up stuff and electric fielding will be a crowd puller.

Last but not the least is Lasith Malinga who has been instrumental in many Mumbai wins over the past few years with his ability to stop the batsmen during death overs.

The Lankan slinger will like to forget the World T20 final where he was hammered for five sixes by Marlon Samuels and produce another deadly performance for his side.

It will be interesting to note whether MI team management decides on playing Australian left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson who has recently made a comeback to competitive cricket.

The Lions squad comprises mainly of South Africa’s national team discards or fringe players but knowing the conditions better than their rivals will certainly be an advantage for them.
