Match 17 of the OPPO Champions League Twenty20 2014 could well be a dead rubber at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. This Group B – Kings XI Punjab vs Cape Cobras can be an insignificant match depending on whether the Hobart Hurricanes win or lose their last league match against the Barbados Tridents early in the evening.

If the Hobart Hurricanes win, then they enter the Semi-Final along with the Kings XI Punjab who have already qualified. As a result, it should be the end of the Cape Cobras in the OPPO CLT20 2014. However, if the Hobart Hurricanes lose against the Barbados Tridents, then the Cape Cobras will have a chance of making it to the Semis. Of course for that the Cape Cobras will have to beat the formidable looking Kings XI Punjab and also manage to have a better net run rate than other teams like the Hobart Hurricanes.
The Cape Cobras are actually lucky to be still here as their last game against the Barbados Tridents ended in a tie and the former won in the Super Over by 1 run!
