Match Prediction

INM have a potent batting lineup with the likes of Virendra Sehwag, Parthiv Patel and Yusuf Pathan. However, the same cannot be said for their bowling department. The team will heavily rely on their frontline pace bowlers S. Sreesanth and I.Pathan to provide them with  early breakthroughs. WOG on the other hand look like a well rounded squad. Unlike INM, WOG has various bowling options. The spin duo of Nathan McCullum and Muttiah Muralidharan can play a crucial role for the Jacques Kallis led side. We fancy the legends in green to win this encounter.
