Last match between Blitz CC and Legends was expectedly won by Blitz as they claim the much deserved 3rd spot in the Group F rankings.
Coming Sunday it is a different ball game, better opponents and platinum in sight, it surely promises to be an exciting weekend for cricket!
Match Details
Sunday, June 7th
Start time: 8:30 am
Ground: Monta Vista High School
Current Form
Cupertino Cougars: W L L A W
Having won toss only once in their 7 games, it is fair to say their luck is running little low in that department. But little luck and lot of hardwork is surely helping Cougars in points accumulation this season.Cougars bat really deep and back themselves to chase any score posted by the opposition. Having chased scores around 75-80 with ease (more than once!) probably explains their choice to field first in their only Toss win.
Win for Cougars might see them end up at either of 4th,5th or 6th position whereas a loss will definetely mean 6th position for them!
Blitz CC: W W L W W
A win against Cougars this weekend will almost ascertain a place in Platinum for the Blitz.
Blitz would definitely want to seal the Platinum deal this weekend rather than leave it till very end!
A win for Blitz might see them grabbing either of 1st, 2nd or 3rd spot whereas a loss might even see them slip to 6th spot!
Watch out for
Sridhar Rs: This middle order batsman is the highest run getter for cougars this season. He has scored 69 runs this season with an avg. of 13.8 which involves 3x6's.
What makes Cougars a great batting team is the fact that in the games they have played so far, there is always a new batsman which rises to the occasion. He gets his highest score, takes them to victory and claims his MoM while rest of the batsmen like Sridhar Rs. play support role.
Head-to-Head record
These two teams have never met each other.
My 2 cents
Majority of the wins for Cougars have come against weaker teams,they have failed to beat better teams like ChampsXi and Skiers11.
Cougars have to still prove themselves to be a force to be reckoned with!
On the other end, Blitz is missing some key names from the squad, either due to unavailability or injury. It will be true test of the team's character and fighting spirit.
Go Blitz!!

Jiggy u r getting better and better at this....
& on the field a big one is due..(I have a funny feeling that cougars are going to be chasing leather this weekend :-) )
All the best buddy !!
Very unbiased piece. If the team's form matches Jiggy's blogging form, we should cruise this weekend!
That line -- a loss could push us to 6th spot, is scary. It is going to be a good testing for Blitz given that we are missing at least 3VPs this time.
Good blog Jiggy! Good analysis is becoming synonymous with the name Jiggy! Let's run through this team!
awesome blog there jiggy..u are setting blogging standards that are very difficult to match ;)
anyway this is like the toughest game for us with some key players missing..i am really excited about this game
