TEAMS PREVIEW

Hampshire Preview

It was a thrilling start to the campaign for Chris Wood and his men. They defeated the Rangpur Riders in the first game in the Super Over. A strong show from the bowling attack towards the end of the innings allowed them to win. The side will take a lot of confidence from that win and look to do well in this contest. 

The team needs a good show at the top from Tom Prest and Ali Orr, as they didn't impress in the last game. Shan Masood played a match-winning knock in the last game, and the team needs him to build partnerships with Joe Weatherley and Toby Albert. Felix Organ, Liam Dawson, and James Fuller are good hitters and complete a strong batting lineup. 

The bowling attack looked good in the last game, and the team will expect early strikes in this game from Chris Wood and Sonny Baker. Liam Dawson and James Fuller brought their experience to play in the last game, and the team needs the same from them. Felix Organ and Danny Briggs add variety to the attack.

Lahore Qalandars Preview

Carlos Brathwaite's team didn't start as they would have liked. It was a poor show with the bat from the team in the last game that saw them go down by 6 wickets against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. The team must gather its spirit and do well in this must-win game. Brathwaite would like to see a strong show from his batsmen in this game. 

Adam Rossington showed some sparks in the last game and looks forward to delivering a good start alongside Mirza Baig. Tom Abell is the mainstay in this lineup, and he will look to establish partnerships with Muhammad Faizan and Luke Wells in the middle order. The team needs a good show from Brathwaite and Muhammad Akhlaq in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack has a major role in this game. The team expects a good show with the new ball from Faheem Ashraf, who bowled well in the last game along with Salman Mirza. Carlos Brathwaite must do well in the middle overs with Luke Wells. Tabraiz Shamsi and Asif Afridi must perform well as support bowlers.

Lahore Qalandars Predicted Playing XI:

Carlos Brathwaite (c), Mirza Tahir Baig, Adam Rossington (wk), Muhammad Faizan, Muhammad Akhlaq, Tom Abell, Luke Wells, Faheem Ashraf, Asif Afridi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Salman Mirza

We have predictions for good weather in Guyana. The ball would move off the surface. The ball isn't coming onto the bat, and batsmen must choose their strokes carefully on this track. The average first-innings score here is 145 runs this season, and the team batting first will look to have 170 on the board.

HAM vs LHQ Pitch Report

Providence Stadium, Guyana, has a decent batting surface. We have seen average scores this season, and batsmen must be watchful on this surface to do well. Fast bowlers can move the ball and have done well in recent games. Spinners can turn the ball in the second half of the game.

Toss: To Bowl

In both games, the team chasing the score has had an edge. The wicket is slow, and setting up a total at this venue is challenging. The team winning the toss would like to take advantage of the slow conditions and do well.
