ICL 20s Grand Championship - lolll sounds prestigious dont it

Lahore Badshahs v Kolkata Tigers 2007/08 season


Played at Tau Devi Lal Cricket Stadium, Panchkula, Chandigarh, on 3 April 2008 - day/night


The tournament has reached a stage where it's all or nothing for the teams.
Badshahs have not put a foot wrong in their progress to this stage maintaining a perfect slate all along.
Tigers on the other hand have had a slightly shaky tournament, never looking the some part with some of the teams and edging past others, the match with Delhi Giants standing out as a prime example.

 

[SameerM]

video link look for the ICL Semi 2 logo instead of the zeesports one.
