Warriors v/s Victoria Bushrangers - Preview

One of the big favourites of winning the tournament, Victoria Bushrangers, take on the Warriors today.

The Warriors, riding high on their success against the Wayambe Eleven, will look to out do the Australian giants and take a strong step forward in the tournament. On the other end, the Bushrangers will come out hard on their opponents as they look to perform better than they did in the last year's edition of the Champions' League.

The Warriors will probably go in with an unchanged side, and look to do nothing different from what they did in their previous outing and will rely on their pace attack, with the likes of Juan Theron, Tsotsobe and Ntini all being among the wicket takers. Also, if spin comes into play, Johan Botha will hold a key role. In the batting department, they will need the top-order to fire, with Boucher fitting into the finisher's role.

As for the Bushrangers, captain David Hussey will look to lead his ranks from the front alongside the likes of Brad Hodge and Aaron Finch, both of who showed great promise in the Australian domestic season. With a lot of bowling options in their behest, the Bushrangers are looking like a well balanced team with bowlers like Peter Siddle, Andrew McDonald , Dirk Nannes and Clinton McKay.

Both teams well equipped in their bowling department, one will expect the team that bowls better to win. It will be rare and yet an exciting site in a T20 scenario.
