Sri Lankan team, the Ruhuna Rhinos and English Champions Leicestershire go into their last qualifying game hoping they can get a massive result in their favour as well as for the other teams to slip up allowing one of them to go through. Both teams were beaten by Trinidad and Tobago, who assured themselves of a spot in the main event.
Ruhunu Rhinos can look at theirs and Leicestershire performance against Trinidad and Tobago and be a happier unit than the English side. The Rhinos did reasonably well with the bat, coming back into the game strongly after losing 3 early wickets.
Leicestershire, on the other hand, did not come out with many positives from the game against T&T. Their bowling was toothless and their batting was even worse. James Taylor was the only player to come out with his head held high thanks to a counter attacking fifty and the Leicestershire team management will hope the others take a leaf out of his book and put in a performance worthy of Champions.
Teams:
Leicestershire: James Taylor, Paul Nixon(w), Andrew McDonald, Claude Henderson, Jacques Du Toit, Abdul Razzaq, Wayne White, Jigar Naik, Will Jefferson, Harry Gurney, Joshua Cobb
Ruhuna: Mahela Udawatte(c), Alankara Asanka Silva, Arosh Janoda, Dinesh Chandimal(w), Milinda Siriwardana, TM Sampath, Chinthaka Perera, Shalika Karunanayake, Sanath Jayasuriya, Janaka Gunaratne, Kushal Janith Perera
