The Preamble: Game Begins ...

Welcome to Challenger Trophy 2015, an exciting match between RnW Chennai vs. RnW Bangalore, scheduled to take place at Marina beach ground at 12.30 pm (noon).
Before we begin, let me give you the team lineup for Chennai.
RnW Chennai:
JP (Batting Super Sub), Arvind, Bupi, Rajaguru, Murali, Srishankar (WK), Srihari, Vimal, Sankar, Siva, Raki, Umapathy (Bowling Super Sub).
RnW Bangalore:
Prabhu, Vijay, Mirgank, Raghu, Susant, Arvind, Ashwin, Naga, NidheeshMuthu, Sudhir, and Kiran.
We still haven't received RnW Bangalore lineup. As soon as I do, I'll update.
Current form of RnW in the last four matches is as follows: WWLL
The bowling of Chennai team has constantly improved. Vimal has been the pick of bowlers bowling a recent excellent spell of 5/1/8/0 (overs/maiden/runs/wickets). If he can do another such spell, RnW will put Bangalore team under pressure.
The batting has also clicked with JP, despite his back injury, has bounced back nicely. His recent 50+ just goes to show that he is constantly looking to score, no matter who the opponent is. Aided by Arvind and Bupi, Chennai is likely to put a strong batting lineup.
The venue is going to be Marina beach ground. This is a turf wicket with good amount of breeze following through. This should aid the bowlers like Vimal and Murali.
The match is scheduled to start by 12.30 noon. I'll be on the ground at 11.30 am. Will post some photos in the later post.
So keep watching this blog and get the latest update.
