TEAMS PREVIEW

Speen Ghar Region Preview

Speen Ghar Region suffered a huge loss in the hands of the Boost Region in the season opener, primarily due to a batting collapse that saw them bundled out for just 115 runs. After electing to bat first, the top order struggled to find momentum. 

While Shawkat Zaman (28) and captain Zubaid Akbari (23) provided brief resistance, the team lost wickets at regular intervals, failing to build any significant partnerships. The middle and lower order offered little support, with three players falling to run outs, reflecting a lack of coordination on the field.

Defending a low total, the bowlers showed some fight early on. Faridoon Dawoodzai and Aqil Khan were the pick of the attack, claiming two wickets each and applying pressure during the powerplay. However, the lack of runs on the board eventually proved costly, as they couldn't prevent Boost from reaching the target.

Speen Ghar Region Predicted Playing XI:

Mobin Bakhtyar (wk), Zubaid Akbari (c), Imran Mazari, Shawkat Zaman, Akbar Musazai, Khano Khpalwak, Nazifullah Amiri, Roohullah Arab, Khatir Stanikzai, Faridoon Dawoodzai, Aqil Khan
