CL T20 - Group B
Match# 12
Barbados Tridents (BT) v Cape Cobras (CC)
Whenever I see double headers, I try to brain storm with my buddies to come to a conclusion. Oh boy! How diversified our point of views about these two matches.
One thing every one agreed though, BT has a weaker batting and CC has a weaker bowling, which doesn't appear so evidently from the previous results of these teams.
Why BT's Batting is Weak:
In their previous match analysis I have mentioned the trio of Smith, Pollard and Malik has score 60-70% of BT's runs in the Caribbean Premier League. If you take the last match too, 110 out of 174 (63%) came from two batsmen.
Why CC's Bowling is Weak:
Langeveldt, Philander, Kleinveldt, Peterson are going for 10 runs per over. If you start your spell well, you must end it also well. Going for 15-20 runs in your last over spoils your figure and your teams cause.
CC's Dane Piedt won't play, so their spin bowling department has taken a beating. But the BT squad looks like a one which can manage spin, so I don't have a problem of him missing out. Dew won't be a big factor for this match. Spinners can play comfortably. How good CC are against spin? I don't know.
Mohali is a true batting venue also which supports pace bowling. With BT's batting weakness and CC's pace bowling department is reasonable, I am slightly biased towards CC.
But I am not thoroughly convinced yet. Waiting for the Toss to finalize my decision.
Squad/Toss Update
Shane Dowrich with a rich Caribbean Premier League experience is in for BT. His last 5 scores are 9, 9, 3, 18, 0 .
Also spinner Akeal Hosein plays for BT. He also has a rich experience in CPL. Last seven matches he has taken a mind blowing Zero wickets.
Justin Kemp is in for Cobras. Cobras batting looks stronger.
Cobras won the Toss and bowling. Chasing is easier here. Pick Cobras.
