Match – 1st Semi-final Champions League T20 (CLT20), 2012

Venue – Kingsmead, Durban
Delhi Daredevils’ batting might would be put through a stern test by the consistent bowling attack of Highveld Lions when the two sides clash in the first semifinal of the Champions League Twenty20 on Thursday.
While the Daredevils finished their league engagements unbeaten and on top of Group A after two wins and a couple of washouts, the Lions ended second in group B with three victories and a loss from their four preliminary matches.
Delhi are the only IPL side left in contention after three others were knocked out in the group stage itself. The Lions, on the other hand, are one of the two South African sides, the other being Titans, to have reached the semifinals.
Delhi’s strength lies in its power-packed batting line-up which boasts of proven match-winners such as Virender Sehwag, skipper Mahela Jayawardene, Kevin Pietersen and Ross Taylor.
Rising star Unmukt Chand makes it perhaps the best top-five in the tournament.
But the team looked vulnerable the last time weather permitted it to come out in the middle, against Perth Scorchers. Had it not been for a uncharacteristically patient half century by Sehwag, Delhi did stare at defeat against the Scorchers.
David Warner has been warming the benches in this tournament and he will be itching to have a go in case the team management decides to include him in the line-up.
On the bowling front, Delhi’s attack looks decent spearheaded by Irfan Pathan and Morne Morkel. The young Umesh Yadav has come good and so has veteran all-rounder Ajit Agarkar, who seems to be rediscovering his form.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been relying on their enterprising bowling to carve out wins.
“We always thought we can make it to the semis and even the final. The guys have been working hard since April, when we lost the final of the MiWay T20 Cup to the Titans. So, it’s not a surprise that we’re in semi-finals; we were expected to do well,” said left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, who has eight wickets in four matches at an economy rate of 4.43.
The only match in which the left-arm pairing of Sohail Tanvir and Dirk Nannes went for runs was against clinical Sydney Sixers.
But they returned to the forefront with a good performance against Yorkshire in their final group match. In the spin department, Phangiso has shown incredible temperament in all his four outings.
The 28-year-old spinner will be high on confidence and poses a serious threat to the Delhi batsmen.
On the batting front, Alviro Petersen, Quinton de Kock and Neil McKenzie are the three main characters in the Lions plans.
Gulam Bodi played a couple of good knocks to start with but came a cropper against Yorkshire and he would look to raise his game in the big game. (PTI)

The only IPL team left in contention, table-toppers Delhi Daredevils will aim to officially seal what seems like a sure-shot semifinal berth but will face stiff challenge from home favourites Titans in their final Group A encounter.
Delhi huffed and puffed their way to a narrow win over Perth Scorchers in their previous match, going atop the table in the process with 10 points.
Titans, beaten comprehensively by laggards Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match, are second in the standings with eight points.
Both the teams are best-placed to advance from the group and tomorrow’s result will decide which of the two finishes better in the points table.
The two sides head into contest with their confidence shaken in contrasting manner. While Delhi’s batting depth was tested to the core by the ousted Perth Scorchers, Titans were quite literally demolished by another ousted side KKR.
In pursuit of 122, Delhi lost Mahela Jayawardene, Unmukt Chand, Kevin Pietersen and Ross Taylor to single-digit scores and it was left to Virender Sehwag to steer the team through.
In fact, Sehwag getting a good knock was a big positive for Delhi and the batsman himself. The 34-year-old batted sensibly, held one end firm and ensured that he did just enough to steer Delhi.
Another positive for Delhi was veteran all-rounder Ajit Agarkar, who was named man of the match for his fine display.
His economical four overs fetched Delhi a couple of wickets and cost just 14 runs.
South African pacer Morne Morkel was also quite a success as far as bowling miserly was concerned even though he did not take any wickets.
The Titans, on the other hand, were mauled by KKR.
Chasing 189, they folded for 89 with just three of their batsmen managing double-digit scores.
The opening pair of Jacques Rudolph and Henry Davids has given their team good starts in the first two matches — they added 104 against the Perth Scorchers and then followed it up with a stand of 74 against the Auckland Aces.
Their failure against KKR proved quite decisive and they will have to come good against Delhi for the Titans to have any chance of upstaging Delhi.
Key pacer Alfonso Thomas, who went for 52 runs against KKR, also needs to get his act together as Delhi has a devastating batting line-up capable of tearing apart the best of attacks. (PTI)

A semifinal berth seems like distant possibility for Auckland Aces but the New Zealand side will look to keep itself in the calculations by taming the demoralised Perth Scorchers when the two teams lock horns in their final round-robin Champions League Twenty20 match.
Auckland had not put a foot wrong in the tournament till they faced the Titans. The New Zealand side started its campaign on a rampaging note winning both its qualifiers comprehensively to make the main draw from pool 1.
They also started the Group A journey with a thumping victory over IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders but the Titans stopped their juggernaut with a 59-run victory and then luck also deserted them as rain washed out their match against the Delhi Daredevils without a ball being bowled.
Auckland are now now placed fourth in Group A with six points. Delhi and Titans with 10 and 8 points are already the front-runners to seal a semifinal berth.
Gareth Hopkins’s side will look to bring itself into contention with a big victory tomorrow and also hope that Delhi beat Titans comprehensively in the next match to salvage its hopes of a last-minute entry to the semis.
The Aces have so far rode on the all-round performance of former Pakistani player Azhar Mahmood and their opening duo of Martin Guptill and Lou Vincent.
The day they failed, Auckland found themselves in the lurch and the onus would be on them to once again come to their team’s rescue tomorrow.
Kyle Mills and Michael Bates will shoulder the responsibility of delivering with the ball.
Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, have an experienced team with many international players but have failed to make a mark in the tournament.
They started with a loss against Titans and were left disappointed after heavens opened in the second game against Kolkata and last night’s three-wicket loss to Delhi was the final nail in the coffin for them.
The only motivation for the Australian side now will be to spoil whatever chances Auckland have in the tournament with a victory tomorrow and head back home on a positive note. (PTI)
