TEAMS PREVIEW

Super XI Preview

Super XI head into the contest on the back of a disappointing loss against Artech CC in a low-scoring game. They were bowled out on just 74 runs while batting first. Artech chased down the total in the powerplay with losing two wickets. It was the third consecutive loss for Super XI in the tournament.

Super XI managed just 55 runs in the final 9 overs. In the opening game, they lost to Reddy’s XI by 65 runs. With three defeats in three games, they are struggling at the bottom spot. 

Vishal Viswakumar could be a player to watch out for. He has scored 75 runs in 3 innings with one half-century. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming contest. Asad Ibrahim bagged four wickets in 3 matches. Super XI needs a big change in their approach. They have an ability to bounce back in the league.

Apex XI Preview

Apex XI enter the matchup with a poor run of form in the league. They came close to making the highest successful run chase of the tournament but fell short of 20 runs. Reddy’s XI posted 230/4 while batting first and Apex were restricted to 210. No player scored a half-century in the 2nd innings. Earlier, they lost to Cochin Hurricanes after getting all-out on 94 runs. 

In the opening game, Apex were unlucky to defend a competitive total of 187 runs. Ashfaq Ahmad scored 79 off 63 balls and Zeeshan Ahmad contributed 84 off 57 balls. Salwa Boys comfortably chased down the total with five balls left. 

Apex rely on their solid batting lineup. Their middle order is also in good form. They have potential to chase 180-200 runs. Their bowling unit has been the weakest link. Despite two good batting performances, they are winless in the tournament. Apex need a special performance to get its maiden victory. 

Zeeshan Ahmad could be a player to watch out for. He has contributed 120 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 150. We back him to score above 25 runs in the upcoming contest. Apart from him, Ashfaq Ahmad has added 86 runs in 3 innings with one half-century. With the bowl, Hamees Sharif is a quality prospect, picking three wickets in the tournament. As we mentioned, Apex lacks in the bowling department. Their best bowler ranks 41st in top wicket-taker list. 

Apex XI Predicted Playing XI:

Hasan Sarwar, Zeeshan Ahmad, Abdul Gayaz, Ashfaq Ahmad, Khadar Vali, Nadeem Zahid, Qasim Ali, Riasat Ali Khan, Shafeek Laffer, Usman Munawae and Zafar Bhatti
