Warriors' Davey Jacobs chose to bat on a good batting track in the final of the Champions League Twenty20 at Wanderers in Johannesburg. His decision meant Chennai Super Kings will chase for the first time in the tournament.
As expected both teams went in with unchanged combinations. Warriors have done well in the Powerplay overs, while Chennai usually cash in during the middle overs.
MS Dhoni reiterated at the toss that it's an "emotional moment" for him as this would be the last game this squad will be playing together for Chennai. It doesn't get bigger than this for Warriors; the cash prize of US$2.5 million can do wonders for the franchise.
Chennai: 1 M Vijay, 2 Michael Hussey, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 S Badrinath, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 S Anirudha, 7 Albie Morkel, 8 Doug Bollinger, 9 R Ashwin, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 L Balaji
Warriors: 1 Davy Jacobs (capt), 2 Ashwell Prince, 3 Colin Ingram, 4 Justin Kreusch, 5 Mark Boucher (wk), 6 Craig Thyssen, 7 Johan Botha, 8 Nicky Boje, 9 Rusty Theron, 10 Makhaya Ntini, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
