Match facts

Kolkata Knight Riders v Somerset, September 21

Start time 20.00 (14.30 GMT)

Remember West Germany-Austria in 1982 World Cup? FIFA has changed its rules during the match, planning for the final round of group matches at the same time to avoid a team that has the advantage of knowing exactly what to do to qualify for less. This is not the case in the Champions League Twenty20. Kolkata Knight Riders and Somerset has an obvious advantage to play the final qualifying match. According to what is going on in Leicestershire, Ruhuna match, both teams could qualify with a close contest that provides annualized net loss not dip too low. I would not risk something like that, though, and knowing the victory ensures the qualification is sufficient incentive to ensure that aggression on both sides.

As in Kolkata, it is important to remove. They are the logos of the sponsors of the Tournament 'spattered all their t-shirts and their owner superstars arrive in Hyderabad for the match. Gautam Gambhir and without Eoin Morgan, have more players with international experience of Somerset, and we want to win more convincingly than they did in the first game. Their high-profile batsmen let them down against Auckland Calcutta and can not think rejigging batting order.

Somerset arrived in Hyderabad a few days before the first game, but the last ball to win just the tonic you need to get rid of jet lag. Kolkata is a test more difficult, however, Somerset slow bowlers, who hold the Auckland may not have much success against Yusuf Pathan, Snell and Steve can not handle so easily Brett Lee Kyle Mills, New York as it did long balls.

Team News

Jacques Kallis averaged 34.78 in Twenty20 cricket, but the results of 33 of 35 balls are not fast enough at the top of the order. You can download Manoj Tiwary with up. Unadkat Jaidev opposite one of Auckland was 14 races, so it can replace L Balaji.

Somerset missing several players due to international commitments and fight for a XI, no matter who have reservations. Is likely to go to the same side that beat Auckland.

Warning ...

Rajat Bhatia conceded just 14 runs from four overs match in Kolkata first. Somerset saw him before and can find its slow boats a challenge.

For the center of Somerset with his first match, but expected more of the higher order. Roelof van der Merwe, who has an unemployment rate of 133.39 in Twenty20 could be the key to a fast start.

Competition key

Murali Kartik bowls always in a high level tournament in India, speaks of him with something to prove. If you can get rid of Yusuf Pathan, adding even more the validity of the claim, should play more for India.

Curiosities

Jacques Kallis is the third in a list of players more than half a century Twenty20 matches. His 21 is behind only Brad Hodge and David Hussey 26 of 23
