Team Previews
Morrisville Samp Army
Unbeaten so far, Morrisville Samp Army have showcased all-around excellence. In their last game, Faf du Plessis delivered a scintillating unbeaten 76 off just 26 balls, proving his match-winning ability. With a balanced lineup featuring powerful hitters and skilled bowlers, the Samp Army looks nearly unstoppable.
- Key Players:
- Faf du Plessis: A proven T10 game-changer, his ability to dominate from ball one makes him a massive threat.
- Imad Wasim: The left-arm spinner brings control and crucial breakthroughs in high-pressure moments.
- Isuru Udana: A canny operator in the death overs with variations that are hard to pick.
Predicted XI:
Sharjeel Khan, Faf du Plessis, Charith Asalanka, Andries Gous (wk), Jack Taylor, Rohan Mustafa (c), Karim Janat, Imad Wasim, Taimoor Ali, Isuru Udana, Qais Ahmad
Delhi Bulls
The Delhi Bulls are struggling to find their rhythm but have match-winners who can turn games on their own. Nikhil Chaudhary’s explosive knock of 47 off 16 balls in the previous game is a sign of their untapped potential. However, their bowling unit needs to step up to challenge the Samp Army’s powerful batting.
- Key Players:
- James Vince: His ability to find gaps and accelerate could set the tone for the Bulls.
- Rovman Powell: The skipper’s big-hitting prowess in the middle overs could be decisive.
- Shadab Khan: An experienced all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball.
Predicted XI:
Adam Lyth, Tom Banton (wk), James Vince, Rovman Powell (c), Tim David, Shadab Khan, Fabian Allen, Nikhil Chaudhary, Naveen-ul-Haq, Shahid Bhutta, Fazalhaq Farooqi
