Editor’s Pick (KPL): Hubli Tigers - Belagavi Panthers

By
Wow. It was a very close finish in the end. I mean, look at how it panned out. Bellary Tuskers won on September 16th by six wickets but still did not manage to make the cut. Mysuru Warriors won on September 14th too and lost out as well. I guess you need to be consistent all along the tournament not just suddenly spike up in the fag end to qualify for the finals.

The teams that made it to the semi-finals are Namma Sivamoggam, Hubli Tigers, Bijapur Bulls and Belagavi Panthers. In that order. Three teams with eight points and one with seven. Well from now on the points do not matter. Past is the past. You need to win every match to win the tournament. No more depending on points and run rates.

Today’s match is between Hubli Tigers and Belagavi Panthers
Hubli Tigers Squad
Vinay Kumar, Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sakuja, Dega Nischal, Abhishek Reddy, Kranthi Kumar, David Mathias, Praveen Dubey, Sharan Gouda, Ritesh Bhatkal, Krishnamurthy Siddharth, Rohith Gowda, Anurag Bajpai, Ishfaq Nazir Bhat, Swapnil Yelave, Aman Khan, Prithvi Varadarajan, S Shivaraj, Harish Kumar
Belagavi Panthers Squad
Stuart Binny, Manish Pandey, Sreenath Aravind, Sunil Kumar Jain, Shashindra, Nitin Bhille, Krishnappa Gowtham, Stallin Hoover, KN Bharath, Mir Kaunan Abbas, Sharath BR, Darshan Machaiah, Anand Doddamani, Kishore Kamat, Satish Bharadwaj, Darshan Patil, Rakshith S, Shubang Hegde, Avinash D

Key Players: India - England

By
When there is nothing left, you will play for pride. That is what India has to do tomorrow. Considering the fact that the match is taking place in Mumbai. Do it for them. Do it for us.  England and Australia will meet each other at the finals on 31st March. India and England are more than likely to go in with the same playing eleven.
India Terribly low on morale, the team will now have to give it their all. They need to know that they are much better than this.

England The team has been doing really well since day one. They will now consider this as a practice match. But they will want to win and go to the finals with confidence. They were thumped by Australia earlier in what can be called as a one-sided game. They want to win this tomorrow.

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…
