The important North Indian cricket centers represented by Chandigarh Lions & Delhi Giants take on each other this Saturday, March 15th at Panchkula.

The Giants have made an impressive start to their campaign at the Edelweiss 20s Challenge with an impressive win against their traditional rivals Mumbai Champs. The Giants look a formidable side, their young domestic stars have done very well with Abbas Ali & Murtaza shining with the bat &ball respectively.

Ably backed by their rich arsenal of international stalwarts led by Captain Marvan Atapattu & the star attraction of the Edelweiss 20s Challenge - Shane Bond, the Giants are one of the front runners for the top honors at the Edelweiss 20s Challenge. On the other hand the Lions led by the charismatic Chris Cairns is one of most well gelled cricketing unit at the Edelweiss 20s Challenge, not to forget the home advantage they enjoy for this big match. Can the Giants extract their revenge against their north Indian rivals, Chandigarh Lions on 15th March?
