It is the host Bangalore playing against the Cape Cobras. Lets see how this tournament will fare out.
Currently the presentation and dance ceremony is going on.
Enjoy.
For the first time the global club teams are participating in what they call The Champions League T20. Yes, the format is pretty similar to champions league of football here in Europe where champions league team of each country participate in a higher form of league. IPL borrowed the similar idea to be implemented in cricket. The club teams will be their home clubs for other countries except for India who will have their IPL teams. Sounds a little awkward, but that’s the way it is.
Too much of commercialization have hit cricket recently in the form of IPL, and this trend is continuing to form the Champions League. Last time around, it had to be cancelled because of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, but this time, BCCI must be grinning with all the sponsorship deals.
The teams participating will battle for US$ 6 million cash prize, with $2.5 million going to the winners. Well, this is all commercialization and cricket seems to be the last priority.
Anyway, if played in proper cricketing spirit, this tournament can be some fun to watch as well on the hindsight.
Here is the fixture for this T20 tournament.
