Champions League Twenty20

Deccan Chargers vs Somerset: This is the first game of Group A, and features the two stronger teams in the group, the other being Trinidad & Tobago. With their knowledge of the local conditions and a capacity crowd expected to be egging them on, Deccan start as favourites (though those factors didn't help Bangalore in the face of JP Duminy's onslaught). They have plenty of proven match-winners like Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds, but two of their big Indian stars - Rohit Sharma and RP Singh - have struggled over the past few months. Somerset will need big performances from their pair of senior pros, Marcus Trescothick and Justin Langer, the only players in the squad with significant experience on the subcontinent.
