Titans wins toss, opts to field vs Delhi Daredevils – CLT20 2012

Posted: 23 Oct 2012 09:09 AM PDT


Toss: Titans have won the toss and elected to field

Jaarsveld: ‘We’ll have a bowl. The scorchers have done us a massive favour and we’re very happy. We have two changes for this game. Eden Links and Heino Kuhn are not playing’

Ross Taylor: ‘We thought we’ll give Warner a go. He’s a world class batsman sitting on the sidelines. We’ll look to set a good score. If the D/L comes into play it gives the team batting second an advantage. Only one change for us, Warner comes in.’

Teams:
Titans (Playing XI): Jacques Rudolph, Henry Davids, Martin van Jaarsveld(c), Farhaan Behardien, Roelof van der Merwe, Paul Harris, Mangaliso Mosehle(w), Alfonso Thomas, Ethy Mbhalati, David Wiese, Cornelius de Villiers

Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Unmukt Chand, Kevin Pietersen, Ross Taylor(c), Irfan Pathan, Naman Ojha(w), Ajit Agarkar, Pawan Negi, Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav

Beer: ‘Trying to second guess the batsman is what I do and last year I did it successfully 80% of the time back last year in Australia. Team-mates told me it was a slower wicket and I bowled accordingly.’

Beer is the MoM for his superb spell of 3/13

North: ‘It has been a frustrating campaign, but nice to finish off with a win. 140 is a score if you bowl well and get a couple of early wickets, one can defend and it happened today. Once you adjusted to the wicket, you can score and the 2nd game will be a high-scoring affair. Hoggy has done it in the past and Beer has been the bowler of the tournament for us.’

Hopkins: ‘Pretty happy with 140, it was tough to bat on, but still thought it was gettable. Perth showed us how to play on a slightly slower wicket. Bitterly disappointing not to qualify.’

Toss: Perth Scorchers have won the toss and elected to bat

North: ‘We are going to bat, looks like lovely batting conditions, so hopefully will put up a good total and then defend it. We got the players to expose these conditions as it is similar to Perth. The Marsh brothers and Rimmington are out.’

Hopkins: ‘We’ve got to win for us to have any chance of making the semis and then depend on the result later on.’

Pitch Report: The colour of the pitch is lighter. It is harder and there is not much of grass covering. There is not much of movement on offer but the team that wins the toss will want to chase.

Preview: Delhi Daredevils vs Titans, Champions League 2012

Posted: 22 Oct 2012 04:02 PM PDT


The only IPL team left in contention, table-toppers Delhi Daredevils will aim to officially seal what seems like a sure-shot semifinal berth but will face stiff challenge from home favourites Titans in their final Group A encounter.

Delhi huffed and puffed their way to a narrow win over Perth Scorchers in their previous match, going atop the table in the process with 10 points.

Titans, beaten comprehensively by laggards Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match, are second in the standings with eight points.

Both the teams are best-placed to advance from the group and tomorrow’s result will decide which of the two finishes better in the points table.

The two sides head into contest with their confidence shaken in contrasting manner. While Delhi’s batting depth was tested to the core by the ousted Perth Scorchers, Titans were quite literally demolished by another ousted side KKR.

In pursuit of 122, Delhi lost Mahela Jayawardene, Unmukt Chand, Kevin Pietersen and Ross Taylor to single-digit scores and it was left to Virender Sehwag to steer the team through.

In fact, Sehwag getting a good knock was a big positive for Delhi and the batsman himself. The 34-year-old batted sensibly, held one end firm and ensured that he did just enough to steer Delhi.

Another positive for Delhi was veteran all-rounder Ajit Agarkar, who was named man of the match for his fine display.

His economical four overs fetched Delhi a couple of wickets and cost just 14 runs.

South African pacer Morne Morkel was also quite a success as far as bowling miserly was concerned even though he did not take any wickets.

The Titans, on the other hand, were mauled by KKR.

Chasing 189, they folded for 89 with just three of their batsmen managing double-digit scores.

The opening pair of Jacques Rudolph and Henry Davids has given their team good starts in the first two matches — they added 104 against the Perth Scorchers and then followed it up with a stand of 74 against the Auckland Aces.

Their failure against KKR proved quite decisive and they will have to come good against Delhi for the Titans to have any chance of upstaging Delhi.

Key pacer Alfonso Thomas, who went for 52 runs against KKR, also needs to get his act together as Delhi has a devastating batting line-up capable of tearing apart the best of attacks. (PTI)

Teams:

Delhi Daredevils (Probable): Mahela Jayawardene (c), Virender Sehwag, Kevin Pietersen, Unmukt Chand, Ross Taylor, Pawan Negi (wk), Naman Ojha, Irfan Pathan, Ajit Agarkar, Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav

Titans (Probable): Jacques Rudolph, Henry Davids, Martin van Jaarsveld (c), Farhaan Behardien, David Wiese, Roelof van der Merwe, Heino Kuhn (wk), Cornelius de Villiers, Alfonso Thomas, Eden Links, Ethy Mbhalati

A semifinal berth seems like distant possibility for Auckland Aces but the New Zealand side will look to keep itself in the calculations by taming the demoralised Perth Scorchers when the two teams lock horns in their final round-robin Champions League Twenty20 match.

Auckland had not put a foot wrong in the tournament till they faced the Titans. The New Zealand side started its campaign on a rampaging note winning both its qualifiers comprehensively to make the main draw from pool 1.

They also started the Group A journey with a thumping victory over IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders but the Titans stopped their juggernaut with a 59-run victory and then luck also deserted them as rain washed out their match against the Delhi Daredevils without a ball being bowled.

Auckland are now now placed fourth in Group A with six points. Delhi and Titans with 10 and 8 points are already the front-runners to seal a semifinal berth.

Gareth Hopkins’s side will look to bring itself into contention with a big victory tomorrow and also hope that Delhi beat Titans comprehensively in the next match to salvage its hopes of a last-minute entry to the semis.

The Aces have so far rode on the all-round performance of former Pakistani player Azhar Mahmood and their opening duo of Martin Guptill and Lou Vincent.

The day they failed, Auckland found themselves in the lurch and the onus would be on them to once again come to their team’s rescue tomorrow.

Kyle Mills and Michael Bates will shoulder the responsibility of delivering with the ball.

Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, have an experienced team with many international players but have failed to make a mark in the tournament.

They started with a loss against Titans and were left disappointed after heavens opened in the second game against Kolkata and last night’s three-wicket loss to Delhi was the final nail in the coffin for them.

The only motivation for the Australian side now will be to spoil whatever chances Auckland have in the tournament with a victory tomorrow and head back home on a positive note. (PTI)

Teams:

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

Perth Scorchers (Probable): Shaun Marsh, Hershelle Gibbs, Simon Katich, Marcus North (c), Mitchell Marsh, Luke Ronchi (wk), Nathan Rimmington, Brad Hogg, Joe Mennie, Michael Beer, Nathan Coulter-Nile.
