Somerset 166 for 6 (70 Trego, van der Merwe 40) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 155 for 8 (ten Doeschate 46, van der Merwe 2-23) by 11 runs
Somerset off-aligned and non-upset Kolkata Knight Riders to push them to brink of elimination, but an ice cold Ryan ten Doeschate dragged them off their opponents in the main draw of the Champions League. Kolkata need to call 153 after Somerset had rolled to an impressive 6166, and 57 for 4 in the 10th past, seemed to have lost the last place in Ruhuna. ten Doeschate, however, driven by a special move to ensure that there will be four teams of IPL in the main draw.
Ruhuna finished the biggest loser of the day, and in Kolkata celebrated jubilantly, despite a drop from 12 to win, but the Somerset earned the highest praise. They came into this tournament, bleary-eyed and depressed, two days after losing for the fifth national finals two years, and without many of their first-choice players. If they were so tired, not the spectacle of Peter Trego beat with freedom, Roelof van der Merwe was typically tiger with the bat and field, and the triple attack of rotation was a brutal end.
Calcutta was the other end of the spectrum, and their struggles have synthesized and inability to Manoj Tiwary Shreevats Goswami - hitters are grown on slow songs - to force the pace rolling. This has been lost in Kolkata, in the form of Jacques Kallis and captain Manvinder Bisla at the start did not help things, and things got worse when Max Waller legspinner disloged and Tiwary and Goswami. Since then, ten Doeschate property at night.
He announced himself hard lofts, Nick Compton was trimmed over the ropes for a long time ago, but was mostly was ignored. When you ask rate hovers out of reach, dabbed Trego through point before installing Arul Suppiah over midwicket six. Yusuf Pathan was surprisingly contained in his brief stay, but when he left, it was clear that the gate at the other end was saying.
Shakib Al Hasan stay ended with a shield in the outfield van der Merwe, who alone, highlighted the difference in the commissioning of standards between the parties. Rajat Bhatia then held his nerves in a stand of 30 took term near Calcutta, while ten Doeschate continued to produce fireworks with a whip curled over midwicket for his third six. Van der Merwe dismissed both batsmen in the final over, but it was not enough to stop Kolkata.
Earlier, Somerset showed they were better than the methods that the spin against their rivals Leicestershire County was shown earlier in the day. Trego was followed by Iqbal Abdulla, although not always succeeded in achieving its flight, and his company are forced to rely on Jacques Kallis seamers more than they wanted to move it into the hands of Somerset.
They moved to 56-1 after eight overs, when Trego changed tactics Bhatia mind numbingly predictable lack of pace. Trego lost his balance while shooting him four before cutting too late for another term. The course then went to 17 when van der Merwe has exploded against a number of long jumps of Yusuf. Jaidev Unadkat Kolkata given some respite when he was drawn to van der Merwe midwicket, and James Hildreth with a slower ball, but Trego busy long unfettered, scoring its borders with a series of race proper. Unadkat was drilled through the covers, pulled by Jacques Kallis midwicket, Kolkata and shoulders began to hang in a hurry.
Trego was starved of the strike a key in the end overs, but it does not seem to matter as Lee Compton ramp for six years and flew a found a little imagination borders. More importantly for Somerset, Kolkata remained generous in the last over with Unadkat make a hash of a regulation save midwicket and Lee get a non-stop ball. Fielders Kolkata had himself does not favor, but the way that gave them the chance to play the final rounds of the qualifying stage was about.
