2010 CLT20 1st SF - Chennai Kings CSK vs Royal Bangalore RCB 1st Semi-Final Preview, Teams

So two IPL teams, Chennai Super Kings, winner of IPL3 and Royal Challengers Bangalore will fight in the 1st semi-final of the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 - CLT20, on Friday, 24th September, 2010 at Kingsmead, Durban in a day-night game and timing will be 17.30 IST, 15:30 GMT, 21.00 IST.

Both the teams qualified at the last moment with the hard fought win. The good thing is that at least 1 IPL team will be in Final of 2010 CLT20 and the bad thing is that one IPL team will be out in the semis stage.

Chennai Super Kings's spinners Muralitharan, Ashwin, Shadab Jakati and Raina bowled brilliantly in their last win and played a major role to defend a small total. Michael Hussey back in form with a half century while Vijay is one of the leading scorer in this tournament but their middle order is not performing specially Dhoni and if they clicked they have a good chance to play in Final.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has a very balanced side as Anil Kumble and Dale steyne bowled well the series and if they continue they can trouble their IPL partner. Virat Kohli is in good form and his contribution will be crucial as Dravid also playing well and If Jacques kallis wil be available it will be great. Their concern will be Ross Taylor and Cameron White in the middle order.
