TEAMS PREVIEW

Ghani Glass Preview

Ghani Glass have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 of their 5 games so far. They suffered a 10 wicket defeat against Pakistan Television in their last match in Abbottabad, where they were bowled out for just 102 in the first innings. However, both their wins this season have come by big margins, and they will be hoping to bounce back in this game. Ghani Glass will also miss Shadab Khan, who is on national duty for the series against Sri Lanka.

Hussain Talat scored 108 runs against Pakistan Television in the last game, while Mohsin Riaz made 76. Mohsin had earlier scored 124 runs against Markhor IT Solutions, while Sharjeel Khan smashed 156 off 146 balls against SNGPL. These batters have shown what they can do, and Ghani Glass will need them to step up again in this match.

Khurram Shahzad has been one of their key bowlers this season. He took 6 wickets for 38 runs against Markhor IT Solutions and followed it up with 4 wickets against Pakistan Television. Noman Ali picked up 3 wickets for 82 runs in the last game, while Shoaib Akhtar Jnr took 2 wickets. 

Ali Shabbir also impressed with 4 wickets for 23 runs against Markhor IT Solutions. Ghani Glass will once again rely on Khurram and the other bowlers to deliver a better performance.

Key Players: Hussain Talat, Khurram Shahzad, Mohsin Riaz

Ghani Glass Predicted Playing XI:

Hammad Butt, Hashim Ibrahim, Hafiz Usman Nadeem, Mohsin Riaz, Hussain Talat, Ali Razzaq, Haseebullah (wk), Noman Ali (c), Khurram Shahzad, Ubaid Shah, Shoaib Akhtar Jnr

Hyderabad Kingsmen Academy Preview

Hyderabad Kingsmen Academy have won 1, lost 1 and drawn 3 of their 5 games so far. They drew their last match against SNGPL after Mohammad Suleman's 125 helped them post 440 in the second innings. They also beat Pakistan Television by 10 wickets earlier in the season. However, the Academy will be without Hasan Nawaz, Maaz Sadaqat, Saim Ayub and Sufyan Moqim, as all four are on national duty against Sri Lanka.

Hyderabad Kingsmen Academy Predicted Playing XI:

Muhammad Hurraira, Tayyab Arif (c), Mohammad Suleman, Saud Shakeel, Salman Agha, Azan Tariq, Mohammad Shayan, Mohammad Ilyas, Mehran Mumtaz, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Umar
