IN THE final league match of the Champions League T20 Cricket 2011 on Wednesday at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on South Australia Redbacks with an eye for a semi final berth from group 'B' in the tournament. In the Champions League Cricket T20 2011, Mumbai Indians and New South Wales have already qualified for the last four from group 'A'.
Royal Challengers Bangalore started its CLT20 2011 campaign with two consecutive defeats against 2010 finalist Warriors and first timer in Champions League T20 and qualifier Kolkata Knight Riders.

RCB, who is at the bottom in its group, has many hard hitters in the squad including opener Tilakratne Dilshan, young Virat Kohli, Saurabh Tiwari, and Mayank Agarwal, and in bowling Dirk Nannes and S Arvind have the ability to check runs and pick wickets. Furthermore, captain Daniel Vettori is a genuine all-rounder.
The South Australia Redbacks is at the third place in its group with three points, but its net run rate is in the negative. The Michael Klinger-led Redbacks has a few big names in the squad including Callum Ferguson, and Shaun Tait. However, the Australian side has the capacity and ability to change the game in their favour - either with the bat or the ball.
