Just been through some of the stats, completing my database;

Unfortunately this might be tough for Faisalabad. FW has super bowling and rely on putting pressure by taking wickets, this probably works against teams with sub-continental tactics, but Otago's entire batting order right down to No. 10 is extremely good sloggers and their strategy even when losing early wickets is to hit their way out of trouble. Unless FW bowl superbly, if even one or two of Otago's big hitters get going it will be lights out for FW.

Im actually looking forward to this... should be a good chance to see how Pakistani domestic teams fair against those of other nations

Unfortunately, it doesn't look to be the best of sides, especially the batting.
But it will be interesting how well Asad Ali and Ehsan Adil will do.

 

[Aman]

Hopefully both teams qualify.

That's the thing - we all know this isn't the best of Pakistan's domestic sides. How the Wolves fair shall hopefully give a good indication of where we sit.

Faisalabad v Otago | CLT20 Qualifiers | Mohali | 17/9/2013/fFaisalabad batting

Misbah has won the toss and he has chosen to bat first. He says the team's strength is the bowling and they are hoping to put pressure later with it. Brendon McCullum says he would have chosen to bowl anyway as he is excited to see the cover of grass on the pitch.

Cricinfo: It's a warm day in Mohali - bright sunshine - so not very helpful if you are a Faisalabad Wolves player as they are wearing smart black gear with a tinge of purple. Otago Volts are wearing bright blue.
