Wolves, Maroons to play for pride in CLT20 qualifiers

It will be a battle to avoid the wooden spoon for bottom-placed Faisalabad Wolves and Kandurata Maroons, while table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts will hope to continue their winning spree in the inconsequential double-header qualifiers here tomorrow.
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts earned their berth in the main draw of the Champion League last night after knocking out Faisalabad Wolves and Kandurata Maroons respectively with contrasting victories.
Their victories meant tomorrow's back-to-back qualifiers between Faisalabad Wolves and Kandurata Maroons and Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts is merely for academic interest.
However, both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts will look to put their best efforts to continue their winning momentum and snap the winning spree of each other when they clash at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium.

The match between Hyderabad and Volts will be a testing time for in-form batsmen Shikhar Dhawan and Brendon McCullum, both captains of their respective teams.
Much of the outcome of tomorrow's fixture will depend on the performance of Dhawan and McCullum who had so far gave scintillating performances to hel their respective team in the previous fixtures.

It will be a visual treat to watch leggie Amit Mishra bowling against the likes of McCullum and Ryan ten Doeschate who made huge contributions for Volts in the previous matches.
The other match between the Wolves and Maroons -- both placed at the bottom in the points table -- will be a fight to restore some pride.

It will be an interesting battle of supremacy as both Wolves and Maroons will play out their skin to avoid the wooden spoon.
