Teams Preview
Victoria Preview
Victoria, under Corey Anderson’s leadership, has been the team to beat. Their dominance was evident in their emphatic 75-run win against Hampshire in their last league game. The team boasts a balanced lineup, with both batting and bowling units firing in unison.
Blake Macdonald and Sanjay Krishnamurthi are in red-hot form, with their 137-run partnership in the last game laying the foundation for a big score. Middle-order batters Jonathan Wells, Scott Edwards, and Karima Gore add depth, while skipper Corey Anderson is a proven finisher.
The bowling attack has been consistent throughout the tournament. Callum Stow’s four-wicket haul in the last game was instrumental, and he, along with Dominic Drakes and Jackson Smith, will be key in the final. The presence of spinners Karima Gore and Anderson adds further variety.
Key Players: Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Blake Macdonald, Callum Stow
Predicted Playing XI:
Blake Macdonald, Jahmar Hamilton, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Jonathan Wells, Scott Edwards (wk), Corey Anderson (c), Dominic Drakes, Karima Gore, Callum Stow, Max Birthisel, Jackson Smith
Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders, led by Nurul Hasan, have had a rollercoaster campaign. After losing their first two games, they bounced back strongly with two consecutive wins, including a 23-run victory against Lahore Qalandars.
Steven Taylor and Soumya Sarkar provide firepower at the top, but they need to convert their starts into big scores in the final. The middle order, comprising Saif Hassan, Wayne Madsen, and Mahedi Hasan, must step up against Victoria’s disciplined bowling attack.
The Riders’ bowling has been their Achilles’ heel, with inconsistency costing them dearly in earlier games. However, Mahedi Hasan and Zak Chappell have shown glimpses of brilliance. Kamrul Islam and Harmeet Singh must bring their A-game to restrict Victoria’s strong batting lineup.
Key Players: Steven Taylor, Soumya Sarkar, Mahedi Hasan
Predicted Playing XI:
Nurul Hasan (c & wk), Steven Taylor, Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Wayne Madsen, Mahedi Hasan, Afif Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Harmeet Singh, Zak Chappell, Kamrul Islam
