Somerset v Warriors, Bangalore October 5

Start time 1600 (1030 GMT)

Big Picture

Most of the matches after the group stage are almost empty, and this is no different. His time crunch for Warriors and Somerset, and the competition that exists in South Africa and England, who want nothing to do each other favors.

Warriors want to avoid a backdoor entry into the semi-final victory against Somerset will take them through. If they lose by a narrow margin, however, and Bangalore Royal Challengers also defeated South Australia by a narrow margin in the second match of the day, the Warriors still qualify. This is a simple equation of Somerset, who must win to claim a spot in the semifinals and will be on your way home.

The warriors were Champions League finalists in 2010 and is the only team in South Africa remains in the tournament after Cobras hit Trinidad and Tobago. They asserted their authority on competition and, with his bowling attack as the dynamics of assets, have the necessary ingredients to go further. Somerset went through qualifying and were convincing everywhere, until they were defeated by Chris Gayle.

Watch ...

Mark Boucher spoke ODI back for months and now finally here, maybe he set his sights on return to South Africa Twenty20 side. Boucher raised its level of aggression as it has aged, and still has the hunger to win every time you play. He is a man for the occasion and large, with the warriors in a situation of non-life threatening, could succeed.

After another complaint of the voters in South Africa for the home series against Australia, will be Roelof van der Merwe has to play more than just another game for his county. van der Merwe has made a declaration of its performance in a qualifying match and a group match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but was poor against Bangalore. It will also be competing against fellow countrymen and teammates, which should add some spice to the fight against the Warriors.
