This <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> has been a Banger! Matches as close as the last ball, hits as long as you can see and stars making impact are a few highlights that have made people watch every ball of the match. 
 
Here we’re compiling a list of top run-scorers from this week

IPL 2017: Highest run scorers of the week

The eighth match of the ongoing <keyword id="6354831" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League">Indian Premier League</keyword> 2017 will see Kings XI Punjab go up against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 10. 
 
New Zealand's <keyword id="84737" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Martin-Guptill">Martin Guptill</keyword> is as yet recuperating from hamstring injury and is expected to join the group not before the third week of <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword>. There are reports that <keyword id="134270" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="KXIP">KXIP</keyword> may consider giving their newcomer <keyword id="52739" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Eoin-Morgan">Eoin Morgan</keyword> a possibility over <keyword id="12340" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Hashim-Amla">Hashim Amla</keyword>. <keyword id="6354486" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli">Virat Kohli</keyword> is sure to miss this game and it will take him somewhat longer before he makes a rebound from his shoulder damage. Despite the fact that <keyword id="77602" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="AB-de-Villiers">AB de Villiers</keyword> has asserted that he is absolutely fit, there has been no official affirmation on whether he will play or not.

IPL 2017, KXIP vs. RCB: AB De Villiers fit to play against Punjab

As per the latest <keyword id="73545" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ICC-ODI-rankings">ICC ODI rankings</keyword>, India were at the third spot and Indian <keyword id="6354486" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli">Virat Kohli</keyword> was the second best batsman on the rankings after South African batsman AB de Villiers. 
 
Australia and New Zealand were at number one and two spots, respectively. 
 Protea <keyword id="12340" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hashim-Amla">Hashim Amla</keyword> was at the third spot, <keyword id="13937" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rohit-Sharma">Rohit Sharma</keyword> at seventh and <keyword id="17805" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shikhar-Dhawan">Shikhar Dhawan</keyword> at eighth. 
 
However, neither an Indian bowler nor an all-rounder featured in the ODI rankings. 
 
As far as future team movement is concerned, fourth-ranked South Africa have a chance to climb up to second position in the ICC ODI rankings when they host number-one ranked world champions Australia in a five-match series from September 30 to October12. 
 
While Australia and South Africa will aim to consolidate their current positions, Bangladesh, the West Indies and Pakistan will target to improve their rankings. 
 
World champion Australia is currently on 124 points and without an immediate threat to its top ranking with New Zealand second on 113 points. 
 
But a series win for South Africa, who are a fraction of a point behind India, against Australia could help them move ahead of the reigning ICC Champions Trophy winner. A 3-2 series win will put South Africa in third position on 112 points, while a 4-1 series win will lift it to second position on 114 points. 
 
For Australia, a 3-2 series win will maintain their current 124 points with a maximum drop to 118 points in the case of a 5-0 series whitewash. Even if they also loses their preceding one-off match to Ireland and get blanked by South Africa, Australia will retain number-one position at 116 points with South Africa behind it on decimal points.

India on third spot in ICC ODI standings; Virat Kohli is the second best batsman

<keyword id="13883" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kings-XI-Punjab">Kings XI Punjab</keyword> remained the team to beat following their easy seven-wicket win over Cape Cobras in their last Group B Champions League T20 encounter at Mohali on Sunday. Chasing an innocuous target of 136, KXIP had little trouble registering their fourth successive win in the tournament. 
 
With the semifinal berth secured, George Bailey's men went in to the match to further their reputation as one of the tournament's favourites. The Akshar Patel-led KXIP bowlers showed the way, bundling the South African team out for 135 in the penultimate over of the innings. 
 Having seen their semis hopes go up in flames earlier in the day with Hobart Hurricanes' win over Barbados Tridents, Cobras needed to take early wickets to make a game of it but when Manan Vohra (23) and <keyword id="7567" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Virender-Sehwag">Virender Sehwag</keyword> (23) raced away to 41 in 5.1 overs, the outcome had become a foregone conclusion. <keyword id="195308" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Robin-Peterson">Robin Peterson</keyword>, who got plenty of purchase off the pitch, removed the openers but there was nothing to be worried about for the hosts. 
 <keyword id="470051" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Glenn-Maxwell">Glenn Maxwell</keyword> muscled two sixes to take the team closer to the target to the ecstasy of supporters in the stands but as has become his wont of late, the big hitting batsman attempted a brazen shot off Sybrand Engelbrecht and lost his stumps for 23. Wriddhiman Saha (42 off 35 balls) thereafter took charge of the chase and along with <keyword id="118827" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="David-Miller">David Miller</keyword> (12) saw the team home with 11 balls to go. 
 Cobras had begun their innings on a brilliant note though, thanks to <keyword id="12340" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Hashim-Amla">Hashim Amla</keyword> and Richard Levi. Amla, more known for his Test exploits, looked in great touch and didn't have to use power to get boundaries. He was particularly severe on Sri Lanka allrounder Thisara Perera, taking five successive fours in an over with each shot bespeaking excellent timing and elegance. 
 
After Amla's departure for 40 off 22 balls and 60 runs on the board inside seven overs, Levi took charge of the innings and put on view plenty of discretion as the ball after getting a bit old had begun to assist the spinners a great deal. However, soon after taking the team past 100, Levi (42 off 37 balls) had to go back to the pavilion thanks to a stunning caught and bowled by Maxwell. Between Amla and Levi's departures, Omphile Ramela (12) got a couple of attractive boundaries before playing one shot too many off Perera. 
 
The visitors lost their way following Levi's wicket as Patel (3 for 15) put their lower-order batsmen under a spell. Cobras lost their last seven wickets for just 30 runs and were bowled out for a lowly total in 18.3 overs. 
 
Brief scores: Cape Cobras 135 all out in 18.3 overs (Levi 42, Amla 40; Patel 3 for 15) lose to Kings XI Punjab 139 for 3 in 18.1 overs (Saha 42*; Peterson 2 for 19) by seven wickets.

Patel, Saha Guide KXIP To Easy Win

Why is the tournament that will start in earnest in Hyderabad on Wednesday called the Champions League T20 (CLT20) when more than half the competing teams are not the winners of the events that put them there? 
 
Yes, football also propagates this marketing myth. But since when does cricket, which likes to think of itself as the cerebral sport fan's game of choice, take its cues from something designed to deliver 90 minutes of nothing to mobs of yobs? 
 
And who can look past the farce of at least three and perhaps as many as four of the field of 10 sides who play in the CLT20 proper all hailing from the Indian Premier League (IPL)? 
 
The closest we can get to a truthful answer to these questions is to supply it ourselves - the CLT20 would be more honestly named Another Opportunity for IPL Franchises and Selected Others to Make Even More Money (AOIFSOMEMM). 
 
So, stand by for the 2014 edition of the AOIFSOMEMM, the tournament that commonsense forgot. If you live in Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Raipur or Bangalore, it is coming soon to a stadium near you. 
 If you live elsewhere, do not fear - it will be on a television not far away from you as surely as <keyword id="3257" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Lalit-Modi">Lalit Modi</keyword>, who styles himself as the "founder and architect of the IPL and CLT20" on his Twitter page, will in the next 10 minutes say something that confirms his arrogance. 
 
At least he will make us laugh when he does so, albeit unintentionally. The cricket itself, however, could bring tears to the eyes of South Africans - who are capable of seeing something like the AOIFSOMEMM for the ridiculousness it is while hoping like hell that their teams win the damned thing. Not this year, Josephine. 
 The Dolphins won outright - rather than shared - their first championship in <keyword id="6355117" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="South-Africa">South Africa</keyword>'s franchise history last season by claiming the T20 trophy. <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/david-miller/8001/8076">David Miller</a> was central to that cause as the competition's leading runscorer. But Miller will strutt his stuff in the colours of <keyword id="13883" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Kings-XI-Punjab">Kings XI Punjab</keyword> in the AOIFSOMEMM. 
 
It is difficult to imagine the Dolphins staying afloat without Miller's presence and his destructive bat, not to mention his predatory patrol of the outfield from whence his bullet arm fires straight and true. 
 
But which is worse: the fact that some undeserving IPL lot will enjoy his services rather than the team that have nurtured him and his talent to fruition, or the awkward truth that his rightful team are happy to accept the ransom that the IPL side are only too willing to pay to hang onto him? Off with both of their heads. 
 The Cobras are no strangers to success in South <keyword id="12925" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Africa">Africa</keyword> having won or shared 10 trophies in the past 10 seasons. In the inaugural AOIFSOMEMM in 2009, they reached the semi-finals. But to get that far this year they will need all the world class players they can put into a team shirt. 
 
So, good thing they have <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/hashim-amla/8001/8034">Hashim Amla</a>, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/vernon-philander/8001/53012">Vernon Philander</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/dale-steyn/8001/8051">Dale Steyn</a> to call on. Except that they do not have Steyn. 
 
Despite the unfair advantage given to IPL sides, Steyn's team in that tournament, Sunrisers Hyderabad, were not good enough make the AOIFSOMEMM grade. Steyn is not playing because Cricket South Africa (CSA) have told the Cobras to rest him. As his salary is paid by CSA and not the Cobras, the latter have no choice but to comply. 
 Whether CSA would have been quite as keen to tell the <keyword id="6354467" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Kolkata-Knight-Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</keyword> to give <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/morne-morkel/8001/8057">Morne Morkel</a> a break is an interesting question that was made moot when Morkel was ruled out of the AOIFSOMEMM with a shoulder injury. 
 
For all that, many South Africans are quietly relieved that players of the importance and the workload of Steyn and Morkel will take no part in the irrelevance that is the AOIFSOMEMM. There is a World Cup coming, and that is a far bigger priority. The nation is happy with that, even if Steyn and Morkel themselves are not because of the AOIFSOMEMM-shaped hole that will loom large in their bank accounts. 
 
All set, then, for the 18 days of contextless cricket that will constitute this year's AOIFSOMEMM? Can't hardly wait...

CLT20 Is The Tournament That Commonsense Forgot

Cricketers can bat, bowl, field and run. But they can't hide from the emotional triggers that snag the attention of players and public alike. 
 
So, as much as the game's stars will roll their eyes and protest with a stifled yawn that they could not care less about statistics and milestones or where they are in the pecking orders that litter the media, all we need to do to know different is to ask ourselves whether we would care if those numbers were about us. We would. 
 
We want to know where we stand with our significant others, our bosses, our underlings, our elders and our juniors. Psychiatrists and psychologists would be out of business if we did not have a strange need to know what we think of ourselves. Moreover, we want to know these things truthfully, or as close to the truth as we can get. That is not often possible, as anyone who has been lied to by a lover will attest. 
 
But cricketers have it easy. In these days of instant everything, when they want to know how good they are they get their Google on. Or they consult the statswallahs, who are in almost every dressing room. Players do so discreetly because they would not be comfortable with the rest of us knowing how seriously they search for the answers to their questions. 
 But they tend to betray themselves. For instance, <keyword id="6355117" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="South-Africa">South Africa</keyword>'s players spent a good deal of their tour to England in 2012 explaining away the significance of the fact that, if they won the series, they would be the top ranked Test team. However, in the magic moments after they won the third match at Lord's to secure that status, a beaming <keyword id="11666" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Graeme-Smith">Graeme Smith</keyword> held the mace with one hand and stuck the index finger of the other in the air like he just didn't care - as plain a "We're No. 1!" as we could hope to see. 
 Then, last November, Faf du Plessis, South <keyword id="12925" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Africa">Africa</keyword>'s <keyword id="127916" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="T20-captain">T20 captain</keyword>, went boldly where lesser men would not: "We've set a goal for ourselves to try and get to No. 1 by the time the (World T20) starts. I don't expect us to compete in a tournament if we're ranked No. 5 or 6. That means you are inconsistent. If you get to No. 1 it means there's a lot of consistency in your side." Du Plessis was too right for his team's own good. South Africa went to the WT20 in fourth place, and left after losing to India in the semi-finals. 
 Now, <keyword id="77602" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="AB-de-Villiers">AB de Villiers</keyword> has also reached for the inspiration provided by cold, hard numbers. The third and last one-day international against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo last Thursday held little relevance, what with South Africa having won the first two. 
 
After explaining why it would be important to give the bench-warmers a game - South Africa stuck by that and all three played - De Villiers said, "Other than that there are still rankings at stake so as a team I'd like to win even though we might make a few changes." 
 South Africa were fourth on the ODI ladder going into the series. They emerged in third place and thus just in time to challenge top dogs <keyword id="6355478" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Australia">Australia</keyword> in the triangular series that started on Monday. India were second by a fraction of a point, but the way they are playing they could find a way to lose to themselves. 
 <keyword id="12340" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Hashim-Amla">Hashim Amla</keyword>, meanwhile, regained the No. 1 batting spot from De Villiers by dint of the 122 not out he scored in the first match in Bulawayo. De Villiers was just a point behind and had a bulletproof opportunity to ravage one of the weakest attacks in cricket in that third match to help him get back on top. But he and Amla were both rested on Thursday, all the better to keep their rivalry going. 
 However, with <keyword id="6354486" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Virat-Kohli">Virat Kohli</keyword> marginally below De Villiers and George Bailey lurking with intent in fourth place, everything could change. Yes, the rankings are facile marketing and nothing more. Yes, they do not matter to those who prefer their cricket unsullied by such nonsense. No, that is not going to make them go away. 
 
Besides, when more cricket is being played than anyone could ever care about, what are we to do to add relevance and context to matches and series and tournaments that are frequently devoid of such old-fashioned virtues? It figures, really.

Players Taking To Cricket By The Numbers

<keyword id="12340" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Hashim-Amla">Hashim Amla</keyword> may have been named <keyword id="6355117" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="South-Africa">South Africa</keyword>'s new <keyword id="220013" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Test-skipper">Test skipper</keyword>, but another member of the South African squad has his sights set on perhaps one day captaining the country he so loves to play for. The player is <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/jp-duminy/8001/8053">JP Duminy</a>, who apparently was another contender for the post that was left vacant after former skipper <keyword id="104267" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Grame-Smith">Grame Smith</keyword>'s retirement. 
 
"I saw my name there. I didn't particularly throw my name in the hat but it's definitely something I have thought about - not necessarily only in Test cricket but also in different formats, maybe even for Delhi [Daredevils] sometime. Definitely in the future, I would like to step into that role," Duminy said, according to a report in ESPNCricinfo. "I've played enough cricket to know what it's about and so it's about testing myself - whether I can do the job. I am looking forward to the challenge if it comes." 
 
Duminy admitted that the departure Smith has left a huge void, but at the same point is aware of the fact that South Africa comprises many senior players in the squad - who will have a huge role to play in the coming years. 
 
"Graeme was a guy that led from the front in terms of his aura about himself and the way he conducted himself," Duminy said. "I don't think we (the current players) could fit into that role so we've got to stick together in terms of what we are trying to achieve as a senior's group. We've got a good understanding between us. We've got to focus on what we are trying to do - play good cricket and dominate the international circuit." 
 Duminy also spoke about the successive retirements of Smith and <keyword id="61954" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Jacques-Kallis">Jacques Kallis</keyword> - who combine for a whopping 283 Tests. "It's a big loss for us in terms of Graeme and Jacques but the game does go on and we have an opportunity as the new breed of players to step in and fulfill that role as seniors."

Duminy Expresses His Desire Of Captaining SA In Future

ICC World Cup 2019: The top five batsmen and bowlers going into the tournament

Kings XI Punjab rode on a solid batting performance by Hashim Amla and skipper <keyword id="470051" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Glenn-Maxwell">Glenn Maxwell</keyword> to thrash Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by eight wickets in an Indian Premier League (<keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword>) match at the Holkar Stadium here on Monday. 
 
Chasing a 149-run target, Punjab were boosted by an unbeaten half-century by experienced opener Amla and a power-packed innings by Maxwell lower down the order and crossed the line with 33 balls to spare. 
 
Amla batted through the innings and remained unbeaten on 58 runs off 38 deliveries, hitting four boundaries and three sixes along the way. 
 
Maxwell played a typically explosive innings, smashing 43 runs off 22 balls with three boundaries and four massive hits into the stands.

IPL 2017, Kings XI Punjab vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Maxwell smashes critics with an easy win

In terms of ambition, the Champions League T20 was to be the perfect tool to showcase, and popularise, franchise cricket. It was modelled on the UEFA Champions League, with clubs from cricketing nations teaming up for a short T20 event. But into its sixth edition, it hasn't delivered on the promise front. The <keyword id="6354312" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="IPL">IPL</keyword> in India is still the benchmark, and the involvement of international teams somehow fails to pique interest among fans who get behind their local franchises (a reason to include a fourth Indian team). From September 13, however, up until October 4, the disappointments of the England tour will be forgotten, and cricket's shortest format will once again drum up the entertainment before the home season in India gets under way. 
 
In many ways, the timeframe set apart for the Champions League is about perfect for a T20 competition. The IPL lasts two months; back-to-back games in the middle of the Indian summer making it an annual TV soap opera. The expectancy of home advantage is less; teams from South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand make it a more global event, and the chance to see several international players, who could soon be seen being snapped up by several franchises in next year's IPL. The Champions League then is the IPL's poorer cousin, but the unpredictable nature of the competition could make it for interesting viewing. 
 
Chhattisgarh's Raipur International Cricket Stadium will host the six qualifiers featuring Lahore Lions (Pakistan), Mumbai Indians (India), Northern Knights (New Zealand) and Southern Express (Sri Lanka), before the main league kicks off with games scheduled in Hyderabad, Mohali and Bangalore. Gocricket.com takes a look at the teams making up the competition: 
 
Kolkata Knight Riders: The IPL champions gained direct entry into the league stages by virtue of their title triumph a few months ago, but have been hampered by injuries to Morne Morkel and <keyword id="258312" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Chris-Lynn">Chris Lynn</keyword>, who have been ruled out of the tournament, as was Shakib Al Hasan, serving a disciplinary sanction by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. The Indian domestic season was over before the IPL meaning several Indian players will be without practice, a situation that forced <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/yusuf-pathan/30001/4096">Yusuf Pathan</a>, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/piyush-chawla/30001/4089">Piyush Chawla</a>, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/manvinder-bisla/30001/27013">Manvinder Bisla</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/kuldeep-yadav/30001/4133">Kuldeep Yadav</a> to undergo a boot camp in South Africa. <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/gautam-gambhir/30001/4043">Gautam Gambhir</a>, the inspirational two-time IPL-winning captain, however, is back playing franchise cricket after a nightmarish return to the Indian team on the England tour. Gambhir would have to brush aside that traumatic experience to lead his troops. 
 
Perth Scorchers: Like KKR, Perth Scorchers triumphed at the Big Bash League, but like the Indian franchise, they too come into the tournament with a depleted squad. Simon Katich was their leading run-getter but is not available, nor is Shaun Marsh, who was injured. The franchise will rely heavily on <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/mitchell-marsh/1001/27022">Mitchell Marsh</a>, who is coming off a successful trip with the Australian team in Zimbabwe. 
 
Dolphins: Winners of South Africa's domestic T20 competition, Dolphins make their Champions League bow under former South Africa wicketkeeper-batsman Morne van Wyk, who has previously turned out for KKR. With <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/david-miller/8001/8076">David Miller</a> opting to play for Kings XI Punjab, the Dolphins squad will miss the services of their explosive batsman, but <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/kyle-abbott/8001/29036">Kyle Abbott</a>'s presence in the bowling line-up gives them some international quality. 
 
Barbados Tridents: The 2014 Caribbean Premier League champions will be without <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/dwayne-smith/26001/10043">Dwayne Smith</a>, Shoaib Malik and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/kieron-pollard/31001/10060">Kieron Pollard</a> but still have enough quality to surprise bigger teams. Zimbabwe's hard-hitting ODI captain <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/elton-chigumbura/11001/11033">Elton Chigumbura</a>, James Franklin and <keyword id="1319274" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Dilshan-Munaweera">Dilshan Munaweera</keyword> will bolster the batting, while Ravi Rampaul will lead the bowling attack. 
 
Kings XI Punjab: KXIP turned out to be the surprise package of the IPL and despite falling short of a maiden title, turned heads with their all-round performances. Despite an injury to Sandeep Sharma, who was a revelation with the new ball, the KXIP line-up screams quality under the astute leadership of <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/george-bailey/29001/26015">George Bailey</a>. Add to that the explosive batting order comprising <keyword id="7567" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Virender-Sehwag">Virender Sehwag</keyword>, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/glenn-maxwell/29001/36006">Glenn Maxwell</a>, David Miller and Thisara Perera. 
 
Hobart Hurricanes: Bailey's absence from the Hurricanes has given discarded Australian wicketkeeper-batsman <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/tim-paine/1001/1088">Tim Paine</a> a chance to step up. Former Pakistan captain <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/shoaib-malik/7001/7011">Shoaib Malik</a> will give the side important advice about playing on subcontinent surfaces, while Chennai Super Kings' pace bowling duo – Doug Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus – would know a thing or two about their former team. Aiden Blizzard and Ben Dunk add muscle to their batting order. 
 
Cape Cobras: After falling two runs short of the Ram Slam T20 title, Cape Cobras will be out to go one better at the Champions League with a team full of South Africa's top players. Justin Ontong has at his service the class of <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/hashim-amla/8001/8034">Hashim Amla</a>, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/jp-duminy/8001/8053">JP Duminy</a> and Vernon Philander, and their most successful domestic spinner, Dane Piedt. Veterans Justin Kemp and Robin Peterson are sure to lift the team with their all-round skills. 
 
Chennai Super Kings: CSK are out to emulate Mumbai Indians by attempting a second title. Free from international duty, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ms-dhoni/26001/4057">MS Dhoni</a> will look to his franchise to give his much-criticised captaincy a boost. Their all-round T20 skill under the Indian captain makes them one of the most feared sides in the competition. 
 
Besides the sure-shot contenders, four teams will contest the qualifying stages with two of them set to go through: 
 
Mumbai Indians: The defending CLT20 champions had to endure a difficult IPL but emerged late to snatch fourth place to earn a shot at a title defence. For majority of the competition, MI suffered by failing to field the right combinations and captain Rohit Sharma's absence means fellow seniors like Kieron Pollard, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/harbhajan-singh/31001/4008">Harbhajan Singh</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/lasith-malinga/31001/9036">Lasith Malinga</a> will have to step up. Star signing Corey Anderson's lack of form was a subject of great debate during the competition, but his game-changing 94 against Rajasthan Royals proved how dangerous the side could be with the big players firing. 
 
Lahore Lions: Pakistan's T20 champions had to endure a difficult passage into India with a visa delay, but on match day, their quality is set to leave an impact on the competition. The absence of Pakistani players from the IPL means the Lions will lend additional charm to the event, and the team is full of quality with six Pakistan internationals – <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/ahmed-shehzad/7001/7070">Ahmed Shehzad</a>, Umar Akmal, Nasir Jamshed, Aizaz Cheema, Wahab Riaz and captain Mohammad Hafeez. 
 
Nothern Knights: <keyword id="13837" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Daniel-Vettori">Daniel Vettori</keyword>'s withdrawal from the competition wouldn't affect the side that already boasts of <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/kane-williamson/6001/6071">Kane Williamson</a>, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, BJ Watling and Ish Sodhi, the fulcrum of the revival in New Zealand cricket. Scott Styris brings in years of experience, most importantly of having played in India on several occasions. 
 
Southern Express: Without Lasith Malinga and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/tillakaratne-dilshan/9001/9034">Tillakaratne Dilshan</a>, the Sri Lankan side does look weak but expect them to fight tooth and nail. The familiarity with conditions in the subcontinent will make them a force to reckon with.

CLT20: Another Shot At Winning Over The IPL Faithful

The Oval is the venue where the final Test of the English summer is played. In the current series between <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/teams/england/3001/home">England</a> and India, England hold the upper hand, having won convincingly in Southampton and Old Trafford. India, on the other hand, have lost all momentum after their victory at Lord's. If they have to salvage something in this series, then they need to win at The Oval to turn the corner in performances outside of the subcontinent. 
 
Traditionally, The Oval is considered a flat deck even though it gives ample assistance to spinners. India's record at this venue is a bit of a mixed game. This was here that they won their first Test in England in 1971, a victory that sealed their first series win in the country. But victory has eluded them since. At the start of the 21st century, <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/teams/india/4001/home">India</a> have played three Tests and drawn two. This table gives the W/L ratio of the teams at The Oval.

India have a better W/L ratio here than the current No.1 ranked team in Tests. South Africa, who have won only one Test in 14 attempts, achieved victory only in 2012, their first at this venue since they started playing at The Oval 105 years ago. Among all visiting teams, Pakistan have the best W/L ratio, having not lost at this venue since 1967*. 
 
*There is a dispute regarding the result of the 2006 match. <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/teams/pakistan/7001/home">Pakistan</a> have called for the match to be drawn while the match has been awarded to England due to Pakistan's refusal to play.

 If you compare the performance in both periods, then the first period is dominated by pace in all aspects. In the second period, although pace has taken more wickets, the spinners have chipped regularly thus giving them a better average. <keyword id="17439" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shane-Warne">Shane Warne</keyword> and <keyword id="62118" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Graeme-Swann">Graeme Swann</keyword> topped the bowling charts in the first and second time periods respectively. However, the pacers have held their own at this venue, suggesting that the wicket is a bit of a mixed bag. There will be assistance for both spinners and pacers and team composition will play a huge role for both teams.

If one has to compare the batting average of The Oval with its northern neighbour, Lord's, it is significantly higher. From 2008 to 2014, the average of batsmen is over 80, the most for an England venue.

Looking at the statistics, the team that bats first and puts up a big total on the board has the advantage at this venue. The pitch is excellent for batting on the first two days and then it starts to crumble. Batting has traditionally not been easy in the third or fourth innings at this venue and both teams will be vary of this fact. 
 
County trends at The Oval 
 Surrey are the county side that play their home first-class games at The Oval in Division 2. At the start of the summer in April, the UK was under the midst of a wet spell and that had spiced up the pitches that were used in the venue. In Surrey's first game against Glamorgan, no side managed to go past 300, with Surrey getting blown away for 81 in the second innings thanks to a haul of 6/29 from <keyword id="2472321" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Graham-Wagg">Graham Wagg</keyword>. Surrey went on to lose the match by 10 wickets. 
 
In the next match against Essex, rain played spoilsport but both teams managed to score in excess of 250 as the match was drawn. Their next encounter against Gloucestershire was a low-scoring thriller with both teams getting bowled out for under 200. Set 267 for victory on a difficult wicket, Surrey chased it down thanks to Graeme Smith's 103 as they won the match by four wickets. In that match, Chris Tremlett picked up 6/59. 
 
In the game against Worcestershire, Surrey were blown away by <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/moeen-ali/3001/3153">Moeen Ali</a>'s 162 but the home team held on for a draw despite following on. Surrey achieved their first 500-plus score for the first time at home this season against Leicestershire as they won the match by 10 wickets. Another high-scoring draw ensued against Hampshire after Surrey racked up 474. 
 In the game against Kent, they were outplayed by a haul of 9/178 from <keyword id="159148" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Darren-Stevens">Darren Stevens</keyword> as they lost the match. Kent had notched up 408 and Surrey responded with 398. In the second innings, Kent managed 292 and Surrey folded up for 213. 
 
The trend that can be established from this is that the pitches employed at The Oval this season have gotten better. Teams are managing to score over 400 on a regular basis. The last match against Kent fits the normal Test wicket that The Oval normally produces. It is good for batting and crumbles away as the game wears on. 
 
Conclusion 
 
The situation confronting India is pretty similar to the one they faced against Australia in 1981. After losing the first Test, they drew the second and won the third to level the series. In England 2014, India are currently trailing 1-2 and a win will go a long way in salvaging some pride for them. With their overseas record deteriorating and with all top players under immense pressure, India can take a leaf out of their opponents book by performing like they did in 2003. Against South Africa at The Oval in 2003, a double-ton from Marcus Trescothick and a fine bowling display helped England finish the summer on a high by drawing the series 2-2. That win was the revival of their cricketing fortunes. India will be hoping that a win in 2014 at this venue sparks off a similar trend.

India Look To Revive Good Memories At The Oval

High on confidence after win in the first Test at Galle, <keyword id="6355117" type="COUNTRY" weightage="40" keywordseo="South-Africa">South Africa</keyword> will look to create history by sealing their first series win in <keyword id="6355572" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sri-Lanka">Sri Lanka</keyword> in 21 years as the Proteas take on the hosts in the second match, starting Thursday at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo. Traditionally, the SSC pitch can easily be regarded as a sleeping beauty. However, with the series on the line and a Test required to win, Sri Lanka will hope for a surface that offers a lot of turn. They would need all the help from the pitch as the South African pacer <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/dale-steyn/8001/8051">Dale Steyn</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/morne-morkel/8001/8057">Morne Morkel</a> have showed that no matter what the surface is, disciplined bowling can help in taking wickets. 
 
Sri Lanka have not lost a Test here in more than 10 years. However, on a happy hunting ground for the hosts, only four out of the last 10 Tests have produced a result in their favour, rest have been draws. Once again they will be banking heavily on their stalwarts <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/kumar-sangakkara/9001/9011">Kumar Sangakkara</a> and <a href="http://www.gocricket.com/player/mahela-jayawardene/9001/9003">Mahela Jayawardene</a>. The famed duo carved the South African attack to all parts of the SSC the last time the two teams met here when the world-record stand of 624 saw Sangakkara miss out on a triple ton and Jayawardene miss out on a 400. 
 For South Africa though, only two current players from their 2006 squad will be having the horrid memories - AB de Villiers and <keyword id="12829" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Dale-Steyn">Dale Steyn</keyword>. With a settled and hungry middle order comprising Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis and De Villiers plus form of the Galle centurions Dean Elgar and <keyword id="69475" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="40" keywordseo="JP-Duminy">JP Duminy</keyword>, the Proteas go into the final Test as a slightly better batting force. Their bowling, however lethal in the first Test, will be tested to the limit on a deck full of runs. 
 
Team News: 
 
Sri Lanka: The hosts have made two changes in their squad. One has been form-based call of Dinesh Chandimal being dropped and uncapped wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella nearly set for debut. The other forced decision is that Shaminda Eranga misses out due to injury and Dhammika Prasad is favourite to take his spot in the playing XI. Spinners Rangana Herath and Dilruwan Perera will have to raise their game in order to trouble the South African batsmen. 
 
Probable XI: 1.Kaushal Silva 2. Upul Tharanga 3. <keyword id="22772" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Kumar-Sangakkara">Kumar Sangakkara</keyword> 4. Mahela Jayawardene 5. Lahiru Thirimanne 6. Angelo Mathews 7. Niroshan Dickwella 8. Dilruwan Perera 9. Dammika Prasad 10. Rangana Herath 11. Suranga Lakmal 
 
Watch out for 
 
Local boy Jayawardene has some appetite for runs at this venue. With 2698 runs at an average of 77 and 10 hundreds to boot here, the former skipper has more runs than any other player on a single venue. He will be more than eager to once again make an impact as he plays his penultimate game on his choicest venue. If he scores big, Sri Lanka will garner enough wherewithal to challenge their opposition. 
 
South Africa: 
 
Their potent bowling makes them one of the biggest challenges that hosts would have faced of late, on what has usually been a placid track. At Galle, Steyn and Morkel took a total of 16 wickets with a deadly combination of pace, seam and reverse swing. They are likely to make the ball talk if and when the surface becomes abrasive. The only possible change in their ranks could be Wayne Parnell replacing Vernon Philander, who went wicketless in the first Test. With the bat, new captain Amla will have to impress upon as a leader, while opener Alviro Petersen is due a big score. 
 
Probable XI: 1. Alviro Petersen 2. Dean Elgar 3. Faf du Plessis 4. Hashim Amla 5. AB de Villiers 6. JP Duminy 7. Quinton de Kock 8. Dale Steyn 9. Vernon Philander/Wayne Parnell 10. Imran Tahir 11. Morne Morkel. 
 
Watch out for 
 
Steyn - world's best Test bowler and by some distance, is in rollicking form and by the looks of his showings this year (21 wickets in 4 games), he is on course to better his best figures in Sri Lanka, 9/99, which he took in Galle. Steyn's skill as a pacer is unparalleled and each batsmen will have to be at the top of his game to counter his penetrative style of attack. SSC will test him, but if any fast bowler one would want to bank upon to make an impact here, it would be Steyn.

The previous best score in the 100th Test belonged to former Pakistan batsman Inzamam ul Haq who hit 184, also against India in Bengaluru in 2005. Root reached his double ton with a six over long-on off the bowling of R Ashwin. This was Root's fifth double century and he is joint second among <keyword id="6355981" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="england">England</keyword> players to have hit most double tons. Former teammate and England Test skipper Alastair Cook also has five double centuries. Wally Hammond has seven. Root is also only the ninth batsman to slam a century in his 100th Test. Colin Cowdrey (104 vs Australia in 1968), Javed Miandad (145 vs India in 1989), Gordon Greenidge (149 vs England in 1990), Alec Stewart (105 vs West Indies in 2000), Inzamam ul Haq (184 vs India in 2005), Ricky Ponting (120 and 143 not out vs South Africa in 2006), Graeme Smith (131 vs England in 2012) and Hashim Amla (134 vs Sri Lanka in 2017) have earlier scored centuries in their 100th Test. Root is also only the third cricketer to play both his first and 100th Test match in the same country he was touring. Root had made his debut in Nagpur in 2012 when England won the series 2-1. Kapil Dev of India and Carl Hooper of West Indies are the other two cricketers to have done so.
