22 Yards
have looked good in parts, but haven’t yet managed to put all the pieces
together to bring home a match. Destructors, on their part, have looked
impressive for most of the tournament, but have struggled to deliver the
knockout punch. Their pre-quarterfinal match was their weakest performance yet.
Is that a concern? From an analysis point of view, it is very hard to predict a
script for this match. Both teams have the resources to win, and both have
struggled to achieve the results. We have the ingredients for a real battle!
22 Yards
FORM GUIDE
OVERVIEW
In
scoring 205 runs against a strong Delhi Blasters side, 22 Yards have shown us
that they have heavy artillery in their line-up (note: Sachin Sg scored 136 not
out in that match, the only match he played). The trouble for them is the bowling.
They have conceded 158, 195, 208 and 208 in their 4 matches. A lack of
discipline and consistency in line and length has cost them heavily. Typically,
5 to 6 bowlers have been conceding more that 9 runs an over per match. The
bottom line – too many boundary balls. Individual bowlers need to take
responsibility. They should take a cue from Anadi, their best and most
economical bowler so far.
Owing to
the hot and dry conditions, the Kadarpur wicket is playing slow. The ball is
turning and it is not easy to slam boundaries off a length. However, can the 22
Yards bowlers find a good length?

Destructors
FORM GUIDE
OVERVIEW
Destructors
have had better bowling form in this tournament than their opponents, but they
haven’t been great either. They conceded 234 against KEI Cables in their last
group game, then 130 in 13 overs against Delhi Blasters. They are dependent on
seamer Akshat and leg-spinner Devyanshu performing with the ball. If either of
them has a bad game, it takes a toll. However, their batsmen have come to the
party. Opener Shiv has been inn excellent form, and he has got support from
Raghav, Ashish, and Akshat. The side scored 177, 155, and 209 during their
league games. Typically, they look to establish momentum early and score at a
consistent rate throughout
their 20 overs. If the 22 Yards bowlers are not disciplined, the batsmen will surely
make them pay.

Judging
by form, Destructors have the edge. However, on the day it will probably come
down to which bowling attack is more disciplined. The wicket magnifies this
factor. Since it is playing slow, it is easy to punish short deliveries but
very difficult to dispatch fuller deliveries on an off-stump line (just short
of a drive). The message to both teams, In a nutshell: bowl well to win.
