Cape Cobras had to share 1 point with Mumbai Indians due to rain. They have been
quite impressive throughout the tournament even in their last match.
When Mumbai Indians were hoping to score a massive total they came back and
restricted them to 176 runs which is still a big score but it is not impossible
for them with their superb batting line up. Skipper Justin Kemp made
a surprising decision to bowl himself and he bowled a brilliant over.
So, with their versatility in bowling line up they will be trying to kill T&T
as early as possible to get a good run rate. Dale Steyn finally did something
well taking the wicket of Yusuf Pathan who was blistering sixes. Their batsmen
have proven record to score and chase big runs. In form Hershelle Gibbs
will be a real threat to T&T bowlers.
Another opener Levi is also in good form. Other big names include Duminy, Kemp
and Peterson who will be dying to deliver.
T&T will also be trying hard and soul to get a victory against the South
African team. We experienced their ultimate power when they had defeated defending
champions Chennai Super Kings. So, Cape Cobras should not be taking their opponent
causally. Their batsmen Adrian Barath, Simmons, Bravo could shine any
time.
They have shown it mostly in their qualifying matches. They have beaten Chennai
Super Kings in all three departments of the game. They have to change their approach
to start slowly the innings when they bat. It will not be an ideal idea because
their opponent have informed bowlers like Steyn, Langevelt, and Peterson.
Once they have the momentum they will not lose it so easily. T&T bowlers have
been extra ordinary in every match. Narine and Kooper will be hoping to strike
once again like they did against Chennai Super Kings. With these two regular performers
Rampaul might be a key bowler for this match.
The depth of every department of Cape Cobras might be a deciding factor
for this encounter but Trinidad &Tobago have limitless team spirit which
can prove Cape Cobras venom less and knock them down.
