Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians – CLT20 2011 – Final Match
Category: Champions League T20 Cricket,CLT20 Mumbai Indians,CLT20 Royal Challengers BangaloreOctober 09, 2011 : Royal Challengers Bangalore will play Mumbai Indians for a chance to lift the Champions League T20 this year. Royal Challengers Bangalore’s campaign this tournament has been a two-part story. In the first part, they have batted first, got the 170s but conceded wins when both, the Warriors and Kolkata have chased it down. Then, in the second part, they have had the likes of Chris Gayle, T Dilshan and Virat Kohli carting the opposition bowling away to all parts of the ground on a flat to get themselves to three successive scores of more than 200 to win the game. Somerset and the two Australian sides, South Australia Redbacks and New South Wales Blues have been at the receiving end of the carnage and have lost each time.
Match Details
Match – CLT20 2011 Final Match
Date – October 09th,2011 (Sunday)
Time – 14:30 GMT | 20:00 IST
Venue – MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
The Mumbai Indians have been surprise finalists to say the least. They started off with a shock win over the Chennai Super Kings and then almost messed up a game that they should have won against Trinidad and Tobago. A rained-off match against Cobras was followed by a loss to the New South Wales Blues and yet, the other results in their group allowed them to go through to the semi-final. In the semis, the Mumbai Indians batted well for a change, on a sluggish Chennai track and got to a challenging 160. Then, Lasith Malinga bagged four wickets to stall a matured knock from Craig Kieswetter to get to the final.
Royal Challengers Bangalore will not want to fiddle around too much with their batting, which has already seen three successive scores of more than 200 in the tournament. Chris Gayle has starred in two, Tillakaratne Dilshan has got a 70 in one while Virat Kohli was the man of the match in a couple of those games as well. Where they will want to change things around is their bowling. Syed Mohammad was injured in the previous game and they replaced him with a batsman, Mohammad Kaif. However, Bangalore has struggled with the bowling because of the lack of incision and might be looking to get in either Abhimanyu Mithun or Syed Mohammad into the side.
The Mumbai Indians had gone into the semi-finals with four foreign players after the Champions League governing council had revoked the allowance that had been provided to them earlier. This means that they should go into the game with the same 11 that beat Somerset in the final. The advantage that the Mumbai Indians could derive from their inexperienced set is that the opposition may not have seen them too much. Sarul Kanwar can hit the long ball, Suryakumar Yadav had only recently made a 190 in under-21 cricket and Aiden Blizzard smashed a half-century in the semi-final – all of whom will have a role to play in the final. On paper, Bangalore is head and shoulders above the Mumbai Indians. However, the Mumbai Indians have stuck well together and on a slower track, could make it difficult for Bangalore. Bangalore to edge out the opponents though.
Mumbai Indians will need their captain Harbhajan Singh to bowl better than he has bowled in the tournament so far while Lasith Malinga will be the danger-man as far as the opponent is concerned. The Royal Challengers Bangalore will look at their top three to give them a good start, but Saurabh Tiwary will know that he needs to score some runs as well if he gets an opportunity.

Mumbai Indians vs Somerset – CLT20 2011 – 2nd Semi-final Match – Result
Category: Champions League News,Champions League Results,Champions League T20 Cricket,CLT20 Mumbai Indians,CLT20 Somerset,Cricket NewsMumbai Indians have entered their maiden Champions League T20 final with a 10-run win over Somerset Sabres at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
Electing to bat, Mumbai posted a defendable 160 for 5 with Aiden Blizzard (54 off 39 balls), Kieron Pollard (24 off 18), Surya Kumar Yadav (23 off 19) and R Sathish (25 off 12) scoring the runs.
Match Notes
Toss – Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to Bat.
Result – Mumbai Indians beat Somerset by 10 runs
Adam Dibble (1-20) was the pick of the Sabres bowlers while Alfonso Thomas, Steve Kirby, Murali Kartik and Roelof van der Merwe also claiming a wicket each.
In reply, Lasith Malinga (4-20) knocked back Peter Trego (0) and van der Merwe (10 off 9) early on and then bowled two miserly overs at the death to ensure the win.
Craig Kieswetter (62 off 46) fought gamely and received good support from James Hildreth (39 off 33) as the pair put on 83 for the third wicket to bring the Sabres back in the hunt.
With 29 needed off the last three overs, Malinga conceded just seven off his third as Mumbai took the upper hand.
The turning point, however, came in the penultimate over bowled by James Franklin (2-16) even when skipper Harbhajan Singh (1-25) had an over left.
The New Zealander picked up two wickets in the over including that of Kieswetter and conceded just seven to leave Somerset needing 15 off the final Malinga over.
The Sri Lankan picked up a wicket off his second and third deliveries and gave away just four runs to end Somerset’s fine showing in the competition having made the semis after coming through from the qualifiers.
Earlier, Mumbai batted first and, after Sarul Kanwar made just two and Ambati Rayudu 19, Blizzard reached a 34-ball half-century with his third six through the hands of Jos Buttler on the mid-wicket boundary.
Roelof van der Merwe had James Franklin lbw with his second ball and Blizzard then fell for 54, bowled swiping wildly across the line at Murali Kartik.
Kieron Pollard, who had opted to play for Mumbai rather than Somerset, hit a six off Van der Merwe and another with a huge straight blow off Peter Trego but was bowled by Alfonso Thomas for 24 when he dragged on a good yorker.
Suryakumar Yadav (23 not out) and Rajagopal Sathish (25no) put on a quick unbroken 43 to leave Somerset chasing 161, and they lost Trego to the second ball of their reply, bowled by a Malinga yorker.
The Indians will now meet Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final to be played at the same venue on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians vs Somerset – CLT20 2011 – 2nd Semi-final Match – Post Match Presentation
Category: Champions League News,Champions League T20 Cricket,CLT20 Mumbai Indians,CLT20 SomersetMalinga: I had to take wickets at regular intervals. I will do my best to keep taking wickets early. I will come later on to use the old ball and try my variations. The only thing that i know is yorkers and slow bouncers. I have used it at the right time against the batsmen. We don’t mind facing any team and I will put up a good show in the final.
Lasith Malinga is the MoM for his superb bowling. He picked up 4/20.
Harbhajan Singh: It was a bat first wicket. All the games here have been low-scoring. The wicket was better. We batted well but we lost momentum in the middle. Sathish and Suryakumar batted well at the end. That gave us momentum but Malinga and Franklin were superb. Kieswetter and Buttler were sharing a good partnership, but Buttler’s wicket was crucial. Franklin bowled his heart out and one has to be top of their game to hit Malinga. Franklin was bowling a right sort of length on this track. I had another over but the wicket was nice to bat on. The batsmen were set and I decided to try out with Franklin and it paid off.
Alfonso Thomas: It has been a fantastic effort by the guys. We are gutted but we provided some good entertainment to the people. Malinga is a quality performer. It was a fantastic experience playing this tournament. Dibble performed well and we will take some good memories from this tournament.
