[sohum]

Brawny Bandits vs. Llamas Anonymous at The Bandit Island, November 7, 2010 | PCCL

The Victoria Bitter One Day Cup final is upon us. We have two very talented teams taking on each other. Both teams have been having a stellar season and have got the best of their opponents.

First, let's take a look at the Bandits. They have lost only 1 game this season and have been dominant in the others, picking up 5 bonus points in their 9 wins. The only problem is, their one loss has come at home against the Llamas. Bowling has definitely been their forte, with no standout batsmen except for chan, who is second on the runscorers list with 570 runs this season. Bounce is 8th on that list with 417 runs as well. In bowling, Abhas is the leading wicket-taker this season with 27 wickets. Walton is 4th on that list with 21 wickets.

Looking at the Llamas performance this season, though not quite dominant as the Bandits, they still picked up 7 wins in their 10 games with 4 of thes 7 wins accumulating bonus points. They have several good batsmen on their team and scored more runs than any other team this season. Aditya is 4th on the list with 442 runs and Ambekar follows him with 440. Looking at their bowling line-up, both Maney2k9 and Rahul are on the top wicket takers list, at 5th and 8th with 21 and 15 wickets respectively.

Bandits have played really well in the tournament so far and they deserved to be in the finals. The team which will play better cricket in the final will win the tournament. If we play to our potential we should win this tournament. Best of luck to the Bandits for the match.

 

[Abhas]

The Match we've all been waiting for!
Good luck both the teams
