TEAMS PREVIEW
PUNJABI SHER PREVIEW
Punjabi Sher did not have the ideal start to their campaign, losing their first match against Dubai Giants by four wickets. While they did put up a fighting total of 129 runs, their bowlers could not defend it as the opposition chased the target comfortably.
A major positive from their first game was Anand Singh’s unbeaten 41 off 27 balls, showing his ability to anchor the innings. Skipper Narsingh Deonarine also contributed with a 35-run knock, but the middle-order collapse hurt their chances of a bigger total. Going forward, Jesse Ryder and Ayaan Khan need to step up and provide the firepower the team requires.
On the bowling front, Ishwar Pandey and Nicholson Gordon picked up two wickets each, but the team struggled to contain runs. If Punjabi Sher wants to challenge the in-form Warriors, their bowling unit needs to perform as a collective force.

The backbone of their success has been Martin Guptill, who is in scintillating form. He has already racked up 203 runs in three matches, including a jaw-dropping 160 off 49 balls. Rishi Dhawan has also been crucial with 126 runs at a staggering strike rate of 191. Peter Trego provides further depth to the batting lineup and will be key in the middle order.
The bowling attack has been well-rounded, with Kalim Khan leading the charge with five wickets so far. Manan Sharma, Rishi Dhawan, and Pawan Negi have also chipped in, making the Warriors a complete all-round side. If they continue in this vein, another win looks imminent.
