Bushrangers coach Greg Shipperd rates the Bangalore Royal Challengers and the Deccan Chargers as the teams to beat in the Champions League Twenty20 tournament which gets under way in India next Thursday.

The Delhi Daredevils, the Bushrangers' main threats in Group D, should not be underestimated either, according to Shipperd, who coached the Daredevils in the second season of the Indian Premier League in South Africa earlier this year.
