MegaBytes vs Juggernauts : DCL Final 2009 – A Preview By Rehan

RBCC’s journey towards surprising the DCL world was halted by experienced campaigners Juggernauts and the only person who predicted these two finalists was no other than the Megabytes skipper. Kudos to Goutham’s analytical skills and no wonder he is the leader of one of the most talented teams in DCL.
This year, both MegaBytes and Juggernauts have reinforced their line up with some new recruits, who are already playing major roles in their wins. While Praveen Kumar and Vijay Matta have excelled for MegaBytes with both bat and ball in crucial games; Bala and Ramesh have strengthened Juggs formidable attack.
Juggernauts would like to forget the shocking memories of the last encounter these two had in the regular season. However, I have a feeling that the two tormentors in that game (Matta and Raghu) may not even get a chance to bowl in the Final. Not sure if Juggs will take it as a positive or negative …..
It is highly likely that the team winning the toss will bat first but I have a feeling that Juggernaut’s best shot will be chasing a total of something under 80. With Joy, Sundar and Anand, their bowling is capable of restricting the opponents to a modest total. Of course their whole batting will revolve around the ‘wall of DCL’ Sriram. If Megs somehow manage to get Sriram early, then I think that will pretty much seal the deal for them. Bala’s hitting abilities can also prove handy if their top order manage to survive Meg’s fearful bowling attack led by Jeet.
On the other hand MegaBytes are gifted with such quality players that anyone from the 11 players can be sent in to open the innings and it won’t be surprising, if the person who came in to bat at # 11 in the SF game (Hari) may come in to bat at # 1 in the Final. Even with such a strong line up, Goutham and Binod are still the players to watch out for.
Team MegaBytes always remains a force to send chills down the spine of any opponents but for some strange reasons are yet to wear the crown of DCL championship. 2009 seems to be their year though and if they couldn’t do it this year, then …… (I don’t have words to say any further)
