Form

Faisalabad Wolves

Champions of Pakistan's T20 competition at the end of March. This is their first participation in the Champions League T20.

Otago Volts

Won nine straight matches on their way to the HRV Cup in New Zealand earlier this year. Are making their first appearance since 2009.

Key men

Faisalabad Wolves

Misbah-ul-Haq: The Pakistan captain has flown directly in from Zimbabwe after presiding over a shock Test defeat. Will need to be on his game right away. He managed just one 50-plus score in the recent Caribbean T20.

Otago Volts

Brendon McCullum: The highest scorer in all T20 international cricket. But hasn't had an innings since a 68 against England in a T20 late in June.

Weather: Yahoo! Weather predicts peak temperatures of 34 degrees (Celsius) and sunshine in Mohali for Day 1.

Pitch: It is early in the Indian season, so the Mohali pitch could be expected to be a little fresher and more lively, favouring bowlers.

Form

Kandurata Maroons

Won the Super 4s tournament in Sri Lanka, a format which replaced the defunct Sri Lanka Premier League. The tournament took place in the middle of August, meaning their form is fresher than some of their rivals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

First appearance in their CLT20 after the team finished fourth in the IPL in their maiden tournament.

Key men

Kandurata Maroons

Kumar Sangakkara: Eligible for either team, but he will represent his home side rather than his IPL team in this tournament. Has the experience and skills with bat and gloves to make the difference in the match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Dale Steyn: The world's best fast bowler, he has every chance of setting the agenda in a format that often favours the batsmen.
