Before I start, we would like to thank Shailesh Sharma, he has believed in us from the very beginning, and when no one thought we could win a match, he believed we could lift the cup. So Shailesh Jee.....thanks a tonne, and we would definitely try to live up to your expectations.
Moving on, the league stages are almost halfway through...and while we The UnderDogs have reached the Semi-finals already, its still not quite sure which other teams will be there for sure.
16 Radians, the favourites, have played 3 matches and won 2, their remaining matches are against The Blockbusters and GJ 6. Going by the form of the 16 Radians, they are likely to move on to the semis without much trouble.
GJ 6 are looking deadly with 2 wins out of 2 matches, one of their victories coming against us, but they are likely to play without the services of Sahil Shah, which will be a major blow, still, they are likely to reach the semi finals by virtue of their already strong position.
Now, the remaining 3 teams are Team Delhi, 21 Centurions and The Blockbusters.
The Blockbusters have lost all of their 3 matches which may come as a shock to some. Sagarnil not playing as well as he would like to would definitely be THE reason behind these losses. Overconfidence and lack of communication and co-ordination could be the other, but in any case, even if they win their next 2 matches, its unlikely that they would make it to the semis. Especially considering their fact that they will face 16 Radians in one of these 2 matches.
With the Blockbusters almost out of the scene, that leaves Team Delhi and 21 Centurions vying for one position. Team Delhi has lost 2 games out of 2, but those, (if I may say so) have been against quite tough competitors and they impressed in both the games. If they improve with each performance, I think they have it in them to go all the way, their next games are against 21 Centurions, GJ 6 and The Blockbusters. The game against the Blockbusters would be in Team Delhi's favour, the other 2 games would be tough, so they would really have to play out of their skins to make it to the semis.
But don't write off the 21 Centurions either, they have won 1 match out of 2, and they are looking good, our next match is against them and we are not taking them lightly in spite of reaching the semis.
But at the end of the day, my money is on 21 Centurions to be the 4th team, but Cricket, apart from being a gentleman's game, is also an unpredictable one, so nothing is final, until its final.
Looking forward to tomorrows play, when things will become clearer, and yes, keep visiting the site, we'll keep you updated.
