Toss: Sydney Sixers have won the toss and they will bowl first. They are unchanged
from the semi-final. The Lions too are unchanged. If the pitch is just as good
for batting as the experts have described it, then it could be a brave decision
by Haddin.
Speaking of Haddin, he is playing, despite an injured thumb.
Nothing's stopping him. He wants his hands on that trophy. This is also a major
pay-day for the players - $2.5mHere's how the teams made the final, starting
with the Lions and then Sydney
4.45pm: Good
Sunday to all of you wherever you are and welcome to the coverage of this
season's Champions League final. Lions v Sydney Sixers, or 'South Africa v
Australia' if you wish to look at it that way. Let's get straight to the
weather. It's sunny at the Wanderers, so that's some good news to get underway.
Toss in 15 minutes. It's quite fitting really that the two best
teams are in the final. Sure the country would have hoped for an all South
Africa final, but, the Sydney Sixers just about got across in the semis. The
Titans fought till the last ball. Could so easily have been a Super Over.
The Sixers upstaged one 'home team' the other night. Can they do
nit again? The Lions are on home turf at the Wanderers. The tickets were sold
out in advance. Expect another partisan crowd. They want to see their boys lift
a trophy. Firdose Moonda has more on the Lions.
Pitch: Though this hasn't been a very high-scoring tournament, the
experts believe the batsmen will love this one. There's talk of the kid of
pitch for the '438 game' here six years ago.
"Hoping the Sixers on the Dinner Menu hunted by Lions."
