TEAMS PREVIEW

Parsa Preview

Parsa head into the contest with a 58-run loss against Siraha. It ended their two-game winning streak. They now have two wins and two defeats through four games in the Madhesh Cricket League Season 2. Siraha posted 160 on the board and Parsa were restricted to 102/8.

Mohammad Sameer was the top scorer with 38. They lost four wickets in the first five overs. It wasn’t an easy chase for them. Parsa got a reality check for their middle-order. Top order is also not consistent. Anuj Kumar Chauhan could be a player to watch out for. He bagged 7 wickets in the league with 42 dot balls. We back Chauhan to get two or more wickets in the upcoming game. Mohammad Sameer’s one good knock is due. He has 96 runs in 4 innings. With four points in four games, they slipped to the fifth spot in the table.

Dhanusha Preview

Dhanusha are back to their potential after two straight victories in the Mashesh Cricket League. After a disappointing loss to Bara, they found their best version. They defeated Mahottari by seven wickets while chasing 104 on a challenging batting wicket. Dhanusha got a 74-run opening stand where Mayan Yadav fell short of one run in his half century. Krish Sah picked up a three-wicket haul and Rupesh Yadav grabbed two wickets for Dhanusha. 

Bishal Sushling went wicketless but conceded just 16 runs in 4 overs. He also remained not out on 20. He could be a player to watch out for. He is an allrounder who picked 35 wickets in 25 matches. The Bowling unit has improved so far and it can deliver more success. The top order also performed very well in the last game. Dhanusha are back to the top four with two wins and one defeat.

Aayush Yadav, Abjit Mandal, Akhil Swarna, Ali Akbar Ansari, Aniket Yadav, Bishal Sushling, Himanshu Dutta, Krish Sah, Manoj Mandal, Mayan Yadav, Rampur Yadav, Ranjeet Yadav, Rupesh Yadav, Sajan Yadav, Symon Roy

PAR vs DHA Pitch Report

The pitch at TB Shah Cricket Ground is a challenging surface where batters need to play sensibly. The ground is having an average of less than 120 in the league. Due to the morning game, we can expect a slow game. It is a tough T20 surface with the average 1st innings score around 125 runs. Anything above 125 can be a good total to defend. 

Toss: To Bat

TB Shah Cricket Ground offers a balance between bat and ball. Spin assistance is key. The way it behaved in the last 3-4 days, we can expect another low scoring encounter. Due to the behaviour of this pitch, captains should go for the batting first. It’s a safe call because pitch gets slow later in the game. Anything above 130 should be a winning total here. Runs on the board will put extra pressure on the chasing sides.
