TEAMS PREVIEW

Prague CC Rooks Preview

Rohit Deshmoyni will be extremely happy with the way his side played on the opening day. They defeated the Prague Spartans Mobilizers by 18 runs in their opening game and won a thriller against the Prague Barbarians Vandals. The second win would have boosted confidence in the camp as it came against a very good side. Deshmoyni would want his players to carry the same positive mindset into the next game. Piyush Baghel and Rohit Deshmoyni looked in good form in the last game and the side will expect a good start from them. In the middle order Akash Parmar and Kushal Mendon with their hitting abilities add strength to the side. In Surya Rengarajan the side has a great finisher and they would be looking to take the attack to the opposition. Ali Hassan Sittar bowled extremely well in the last game and so did skipper Deshmoyni and they will look to apply pressure on the opponents in the early overs of the game. The side had good depth in its bowling with the likes of Smit Patel, Kushal Mendon and Surya Rengarajan in the attack.

Prague CC Rooks Predicted Playing XI:

Rohit Deshmoyni (c), Smit Patel, Kushal Mendon, Piyush Baghel, Ali Hassan Sittar, Aakash Parmar, Surya Rengarajan, Kishan Panchal, Jaydeep Patel, Jeet Shah, Mohammed Salih Menothil Pooparambil

Budejovice Barracudas CC Preview

Anbu Poosakkannu’s side had an extremely poor outing on the opening day where they lost both their games. They went down against Prague Spartans Mobilizers by 3 runs in a close game and finished the day with a 33 run defeat against the Prague Barbarians Vandals. Poosakkannu is leading an inexperienced side and would want them to put their best foot forward in the next game. Anbu Poosakkannu and Philip Butterill will need to provide the side with a good start which they failed in the previous games. In the middle order the side will need good show from Ajay Mishra, Daniel Parrott and Ritesh Khanna. Praveen Kumar Muthusamy and Joseph Foster will be expected to do the big hitting towards the end. Barring Praveen Kumar Muthusamy most of their bowlers failed to contain the opponents in the last game. Poosakkannu and Ritesh Khanna will need to bowl tight lines and pick wickets with the new ball. They would also need good support from the likes of Sazzad Mahmood and Ajay Mishra in the game.

Budejovice Barracudas CC Predicted Playing XI:

Anbu Poosakkannu (c), Ritesh Khanna, Philip Butterill, Ajay Mishra, Praveen Kumar Muthusamy, Daniel Parrott, Joseph Foster (wk), Nagarajan Murugan, Legi Sam, Sazzad Mahmood, Rahul Mishra

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather predictions don’t look positive as there would be thick cloud cover over Prague on June 28 with possibilities of rains in the game. Batting would be difficult as the ball is expected to swing and seam around. The side that bats first would be happy with any score above 90 runs here.

Venue Details

It is a small outfield at the Vinor Cricket Ground, Prague and allows batsmen to free their arms. But the thick grass cover on the outfield also makes it a challenge for batsmen to play strokes through the ground. It is a paradise for fast bowlers who get good seam and movement. But spinners have always struggled on this surface.

Toss: To Bat

In the first four games in this group the sides that have batted first have gone on to win all the games. This isn’t the easiest surfaces to chase on when a big score is put on the board. Hence we expect the side to opt for batting upon winning the toss.
