Ruhuna Eleven started their tournament with a defeat in the inaugural match
against Trinidad & Tobago. They were beaten by 5 wickets with 7 balls remaining.
They put up a decent fighting score but they could not make it at last.
Leicestershire will surely try to exploit the mistakes of Ruhuna's batsmen.
Their bowlers and fielder will be trying to make Ruhuna's batsmen as nervous
as possible as they were run out 5 times in their opening match ageist T&T.
Leicestershire foxes have bowler like Matthew Hoggard, their skipper
who will surely be trying desperately to do everything to get a win to get the
pass for the next round.
Ruhuna's bowling was not so impressive. They could not control the momentum
against T&T and they had to lose. This would give certainly a lot of confidence
to the Leicestershire batsmen.
On the other hand, Leicestershire Foxes were also proved unsuccessful in their
first match. They were beaten by 51 runs. Their opponent was also killer T&T
who were the first team to book their place for the main round of the tournament.
In fact Leicestershire were more unsuccessful then Ruhuna Rhinos as T&T
were able to put up a big score and restricted Leicestershire foxes very quickly.
Leicestershire's bowlers were very expensive too.
If Leicestershire foxes want to win they must improve their bowling otherwise
they have to be punished bitterly by 42-year old Hard hitter Sanath Jayasuriya.
When it comes to batting then Only James Taylor managed a half century though
Abdul Razzaq gave him a good company. They contributed 47 runs together
but it was proved far less than required run.
This match would be a match between the two losing sides hoping to get a pass
for the next level. They know they have nothing to lose so they will play all
out but both team must play wisely too which was very much absent in their previous
matches.
