Deccan v Kolkata at Mumbai

IPL T20 Cricket

Deccan Chargers Team

Strength
Their batting is stronger than the bowling and can be potentially very explosive with the presence of Gilchrist, Symonds, Rohit Sharma and Smith.

Weakness
The bowlers. RP Singh, who was the purple-cap holder last year with 23 wickets, usually struggles in Indian conditions. It has to be seen how Harris and Roach adapt to the conditions. And perhaps there is too much of a burden on the irregular spinners Rohit and Rao. Only time will tell.

Top scorer: Gilchrist with 495 runs at 30.93
Top wicket-taker: RP Singh with 23 wickets at 18.13 and economy-rate of 6.50
Best result: The crushing eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders was the best though the crushing six-wicket win over Delhi in the semi-final will be more memorable for the brutal innings by Gilchrist.

Kolkata Knight Riders Team

Kolkata’s hype-creating machinery has been taking it easy this time: fewer advertisements, fewer pictures with Shah Rukh Khan, no controversy over team leadership, no fake IPL player in action either, though his book launches the day before the tournament begins. However, something time-honoured had to be done.

The top order: Gayle, Ganguly, Hodge, with the promise of McCullum.

The Indian players. It will be the seven Indian players – the likes of Ishant Sharma, Ajit Agarkar, Manoj Tiwary, and the lesser-known ones – that will make the ultimate difference. Kolkata will need a matchwinner from two out of the seven local players – a performer like Swapnil Asnodkar, Yusuf Pathan or Pragyan Ojha is just what they need.

Top scorer: Brad Hodge with 365 runs at 40.55 and strike-rate of 117.74

Top wicket-taker: Ishant Sharma with 11 wickets at 27 and economy-rate of 6.9

Best result: Seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings
