Team: Victoria vs Wayamba (VB vs WE)
Tournament: Champions Trophy T20
Date: Oct 13th
Venue: Delhi
Victoria Bushrangers shocked Delhi Daredevils and put up a great show that left them with 2 points in the Group D. They will play the Sri Lankan team Wayamba tomorrow to seal a berth to the next level.
Clint McKay had been outstanding for Victorian Bushrangers taking prized wickets of Virender Sehwag, Dilshan and Owais Shah and actually broken the back bone of the Delhi Daredevils. No wonder they could just post 98/8. In reply, Cameron White men scored 100 with 7 wickets and 3 plus overs to spare. Rob Quiney top scored and the captain chipped in with a cameo as well. The team is high on confidence and will look to bury Wayamba clueless in tomorrow’s encounter.
Wayamba XI on the other hand had a pathetic start with their match against the Delhi Daredevils. Daredevils posted a mammoth 170. They had some outstanding batting performances by Sehwag and Dinesh Karthik. Who said Sehwag is injured? The island team had a poor start, Dirk Nannes had been the destroyer of their top order and McGrath bowling after a long break never looked rusty and could take 2 wickets. Although Mahela Jayawardena top scored 170 is a big chase and they could reach just 120. The team is lagging with a negative run rate, so if they are to stand chance they will have outplay the Bushrangers quite convincingly, which is mostly unlikely thing to happen. The performers will go to the next level and losers will head home.
